Perhaps T*H*I*S is my most favorite addition to the Longaberger line. I love, Love, LOVE these new purses and accessories! They will rival that "Bradley lady" in every way!



I love the look of these rooms and I can show you how easy it is to decorate your home so you can entertain Longaberger style!



This is definitely NOT your Mama's Longaberger!

WOOHOO! Another Successful Longaberger Branch Meeting
......but the day didn't start out a winner!
Saturday morning I DID NOT want to get out of bed. I admit it, I am a night owl, not a morning song bird! And for a moment, when I first stirred, I thought "Yay, it is Saturday and I can cozy back down in this fabulous bed." I smacked my feather pillow to get the perfect place for my head and just as my golden locks (stop laughing) hit the pillow I realized I had a Longaberger Branch meeting in Gainesville VA - about an hour away. My first thought was how in the world do I force myself get out of this bed and the second thought was - NO (insert whiny voice here), I don't want to drive an hour to any kind of meeting.

BUT....I do love Longaberger and I do love hanging out with other gals that love Longaberger so I did it. After I got up I started finding things I just had to take so I could share some of my excitement about the Company's new direction. You see only 4 other consultants made the trek to Columbus last month for the Longaberger Bee (convention) and I knew that more would come to the meeting and be anxious for all the news. And those of you that know me best know I like to talk about my passions, so here was a chance for me to blab away.

I picked up one of my personal team members and we were off to the beautiful home of Linda Hendrickson for our fun time. And fun it was. Linda shared so many ideas about how to use some of the new products. And then what always happens - we all had ideas of our own that were shared. You have to go to facebook and search for "Willa's Love for Longaberger" to see some pictures, b/c I haven't figured out how to do mobile updates here, but suffice it to say there were a lot of ideas.

Now....CAN WE TALK???? I need to be serious here for a moment. There are a couple of things I know for sure and many things I don't have a clue about, but the bottom line is I refuse to give up on this "selling thing" and this "building my team thing" just because I seem to be getting nowhere! I still believe that people everywhere are buying gifts. We may or may not be working within a budget, but generally speaking we have people that we need to give little (or big) gifts to when the occasion arises. My question is....why not Longaberger? I really bristle when I say the word and people say, "oh those expensive baskets." I mean I get hostile about it. Like a dinner out, or a new pair of shoes, or a Vera Bradley bag (not to mention Coach) or a new electronic got-to-have-it device or tickets for two to the movies or ____________ (fill in the blank) ISN'T expensive. It's all about choice. All I'm asking is to consider the quality, the durability, the "hand-made to be handed-down," the made-in-America aspect and what you have is Longaberger. It's not just about baskets anymore. It is about baskets and everything that makes a house a home except the people....and it makes the people happy! So there you have it. Buy Longaberger and buy from me....you know....to make ME happy!!

And while I'm letting you "hear" my feelings on the subject how about considering joining my team. We are a bunch of successful, fun-loving gals that put extra $$$ in our pocket each month making people happy! I can teach you how to offer solutions to your friends and family's decorating, organizing, entertaining and gift-giving needs. Simple as that! And the sky's the limit when it comes to defining your business. It's custom made for you, because you are the boss. It's a great second job, stay-at-home job or a full time I'm-going-for-it job! Sorry, you're just going to have to trust me on this one. AND do me a favor; if you aren't interested but can think of someone you know that might be interested please get them to me ASAP!!
