Greetings!
Greetings! I hope you're enjoying this bi-monthly newsletter. A Rose of Thanks has certainly been busy since January 1! Our latest partner is Rose Art, a division of MEGABrands. They have shipped us crayons, markers and colored pencils. So when you're out and about at your local hobby or toy store, you can check out all their cool stuff that encourages creativity!
Tonight I am going to the 1130WBT Home Town Hero Banquet. Last September I was awarded the Home Town Hero award and am so excited about the opportunity to share A Rose of Thanks with some amazing people.
Also, after our first newsletter went out, a reader emailed me and said that she was going to see her brother-in-law who was in the Army and wanted 25-50 cards to take with her so she could personalize them on plane and hand them out! |

Last year I partnered with Cynthia Roy, owner of Delegate It To Me, as my VA. I can delegate the stuff I don't like doing, don't have time to do, or just don't have the expertise to do to her and it gets done. I can now focus on the aspects of growing A Rose of Thanks without having to sweat the small stuff all by myself. By utilizing today's technology such as email, fax and Internet, it doesn't matter if I'm in North Carolina, Texas or even California, I just tell Cindy what I need and I can delete it off my list.
