New "Make it special" gift wrap class kits nearly ready
If you have been waiting for the gift wrap class kits, they are nearly ready, and I am accepting pre-orders!
We (the maid-of-honor and I) spent the major part of two hours Saturday filming, then the she spent the rest of the afternoon until evening, editing my Gift Wrap DVD to go along with the binders. The binders, by the way, are all different, in many cute color combos. Please let me select a special one, just for you! I am now waiting for my copies of the DVD, and once they arrive, the packets will be shipped.
I am happy with it! It looks pretty good, and it was fun to do. She did a great job of editing. I'll tell you what though- the camera does add about 20 pounds (yes, I am convinced it was the camera!) and I had no idea I took so many pauses and enunciated certain words so often, with a tad bit too much drama in my voice. (Maybe Toastmasters will help me with this too?) And please, if you do order the kit, excuse me for only actually looking at the camera two times during the entire DVD. For some reason, I felt like I wasn't supposed to look over there, which, after viewing the show, realize it is a good thing to make eye contact with the invisible person out there watching the production. Just keep in mind, it was shot at home, in my office/workroom without lights, Hollywood make-up or a professional film crew.
*sigh* Oh well, it is still pretty darned good for my first time out, and I think you'll learn some new wrapping tricks from it!
OK, here's how it works:
If you sent me a comment or email requesting to be on the list I will email you tonight to see if you're still on board for pre-ordering. If you haven't ordered as of yet (or I somehow miss you when I email tonight) and would like to pre-order a kit, do so by emailing me (my email link is on the left side panel of the Blog) The price for ordering on or before Saturday, October 6 is $25. After that, they'll be available for $30. (Shipping will be added) The first kits will be shipped out within 2 weeks (by October 15)
Thank you all so much for encouraging me to do this and for supporting me with my ideas. You all inspire me so!
OK girlfriend, I WANT ONE! Email me with my total with shipping so I can send my money on it's way!!! Congratulations, Tracey ~ here's to you, your fabulous ideas and the beginning of a series of "How to Live Beautifully!"
xxoo, Dawn

I don't think you realize how much you inspire us to achieve more than we may have, if we had not been watching your example.
Best,
Kathy

Tracey - The notebook looks like a dream! I can't wait to receive one. I'll email you now. When you get farther down the road with Toastmasters you'll be ready for the big screen! ~Adrienne~

Good for you! I hope this project more than exceeds your expectations. I so enjoyed your class in person, and I'm sure others will enjoy this just as much.
