16 Years ago today, it was Valentine’s Day, I had been running errands and helping with a project with friends from church however the lunch with a new friend to discuss my final questions about signing up as a Creative Memories consultant is the part of the day that I will always remember the most.  I am so thankful she extended the offer and am even more thankful that a simple decision to “give it a try” turned into years of meeting new friends, stepping out of my comfort zone and gaining confidence to share what I love with those I meet.  I have completed countless photo projects and helped friends and family do the same.

I love that this side hobby business has turned into something that brings me so much joy and a little supplemental income too.  I am thankful for each of you whether we met at one of those first events or we have been lifelong friends and you have supported me in little ways along this path.  We have laughed together, traveled together and experienced life together and I am so thankful that this business brought us together to do each of those things.  I am excited that a recent shift in my full time job is opening the door for me to have a bit more time in the coming months to grow this business again and I look forward to connecting with more of you soon.

As we move through the final 16 days of this month, I think it is a great time to offer a few treats to those of you who have followed me and supported me through these years.  I will post a gift here each day through the end of the month.  If you want to take advantage of the special, comment on this post on my website or FB or reach out by e-mail.  There are only a limit number of each gift so be sure to reply quickly when you see something that strikes a cord with you.  All gifts must be claimed by the end of the month.  These will be available for pick up at my home in Apex or shipped to you for an additional charge.

On the first day of Elizabeth’s 16 Gifts for 16 years, I want to go back to where it all started with a Creative Memories product that I LOVE.  For the first person who replies to me, you can have the CM bookcloth album of your choosing for 50% off.  You can see all of the Bookcloth Albums (decorative and solid colors) on my website: https://www.creativememories.com/user/ElizabethGoodson under Shop choose 12×12 Bookcloth Albums.
