Yes its true-our great incentive for the winter will end on the 28Th of February---contact me if you are still wanting to get in on the Keepsake Hands Starter "Kit", or the discounted starter kits for joining Uppercase Living.
But with this will bring March which will bring SPRING!! Yippee.
Now I don't know for the rest of you, but here in MN that can/and usually means about 3-4 more blizzards... But there is always the chance (slim that it is) that the white dirt will melt and the green will sprout. I always look for the flowers on the south side of my home-crocus, hyacinths, and daffodils.
Hope you are all ready for the next season...

Happy Thanksgiving!

2008-11-25T19:48:00.000-08:00

Hope you all enjoy your Thanksgiving. Keeping it low key here. Celebrating with the kids and Scott's parents.
I have been real busy with Uppercase this month. Have two more holiday events schedule yet. One this Sat in Downer and then the following Sat in Barnesville. In between we are going to be in Laughlin for a little relaxation. Scott will probably have some corn left to harvest-but we have already rescheduled once.
We always look forward to this, getting some golf, a little sunshine, maybe a little "slot"time. And Dad and Ellie always have been able to run up from Mesa to see us for a few days. This year we will also be celebrating Scotts "50Th" b-day.
If you haven't checked out my Uppercase Living website please do. If you are wanting to order something for a guaranteed Christmas gift you need to order by Dec 4Th. So don't delay. Now with the option of ordering right from my website you don't even need to contact me.
We have also received our discontinued list--these items will no longer be able to ordered after Jan 4Th:
The following colors:

Emerald Green...9061
Sunflower Gold..9020
Violet Bouquet..9040

Please contact me to see which expressions are to be discoutinued.
Take care all!

Snow has arrived!!

2008-10-26T11:05:00.001-07:00

Yes its official-winter is here (or just around the corner)! This is what we woke up to today. I think this brings out the kid in alot of us to see this.
Were not to happy considering Scott still has plenty to harvest yet. We cant seem to turn off the moisture up here. Rain and clouding seems to have been the outlook for October. And now this white stuff. We will be crossing out fingers(and toes) for some much needed sunny drying days in the next few weeks so the fields can dryout and we can get the beets out of the ground and the corn harvested.

New Annoucement!!!

2008-10-14T08:35:00.000-07:00

UPDATED:Its official---Now anyone can place an Individual order right from my website. No waiting for an open house or need to contact me. And your order still counts toward your double up reward--so you can hold your own Open House and get rewarded.Check it out....

Just wanted to let you all know I believe you will now be able to put in an order for your expressions yourself. A new annoucement is pending today... so exciting. Will know more by the end of the day. If you havent had a chance to check out my new website please do http://christy.uppercaseliving.net

School started-officially fall now!

2008-09-09T03:41:00.000-07:00

Kids going back to school doesn't really effect us anymore with all of ours out of high school. No need to worry about getting their supplies, clothes, and wondering about teachers, classmates, etc. But still the weather changes and we mentally start to prepare for the coming season.
Myself I look forward to volleyball, football, and the changing colors of the leaves. Fall can be so beautiful. With Scott he needs to prepare for getting his fall crops off(beets, corn, and soybeans), equipment ready and working, and working the ground for next seasons crop. Throw in a few holidays and birthdays and winter is smack in our face.
I am also planning on trying to do a make-n-take workshop for Uppercase Living in early October. With all the great things they have in the fall catalog I thought this might be fun. I just have to be sure it doesn't interfere with my "topping beets". If your interested in what I am planning (I will try and post when I have something definite) just give me a call or drop me a note.
Hope you all enjoy September.

Their Here!!

2008-07-10T16:40:00.000-07:00

The new fall catalog is out. Be sure to go check it out online. www.uppercaseliving.com

Had a great time in Mpls. Uppercase did a great job of showing us what has happened in the last year with them, what is happening right now, and whats happening in the future.
It was to bad Sharon wasn't able to join me. Hopefully next year.

We also have some new colors-be sure to check them out.

Lots of new things coming in the next few weeks. Just wanted to drop a short note.

T/C All

Hoping everyone has a nice 4th!!!

2008-06-30T10:25:00.000-07:00

Yes hard to believe but another month has come and gone. I survived getting a year older (barely) and sharons big day is tomorrow--wish her a happy one. She is taking the week off and I am sure she will get in lots of golfing.
I am heading down to Mpls next week for our big conference. I am so excited to see what and how they present everything. We will also be getting our first look at the NEW Fall Catalog. It always exciting to see what new things they come out with. Be sure to check it out.
Hope you all enjoy your 4th.

Get ready for summer!!!

2008-06-03T23:24:00.000-07:00

OK pull out the sunscreen and mosquito spray. Summer has officially arrived. Yes it hit 80 above here on Sunday. What a great weekend. Middle bro Mike came home to help celebrate big bro's 50th on Saturday. And what a great weekend. Family, Sun, Golf, and of course a new baby niece from baby bro Tim-McKenzie Grace.
Big news in the Uppercase world today is the announcement of their new Summer Splash kick-off to summer. Great incentives for gals who are thinking about becoming demonstrators, and for those of you who are kicking around the idea of hosting a party (can you say TRIPLE REWARDS). Give us a call to get you set up with these great incentives. But dont wait to long--they only go through the end of July--which will be here quicker then the new crop of mosquitos....
Not sure what Uppercase is???-check out this great site- http://www.bhg.com/bettertv/?lid=687029621&tid=1390022495&ci
d=713448048

Happy May Day Everyone!

2008-05-01T06:10:00.000-07:00

I haven't checked my front door yet-but I am sure I have a couple of baskets sitting out there-lol. The snow may not all be gone----but at least its not snowing (yet). Really looking forward to getting some Spring time here.
They are still working on our kitchen/flooring project. Hopefully be done by the middle of next week-I can't wait to see the finished project.
Maybe I will do an Open House for Uppercase in the middle of May to show it all off. This would give gals time to get those special expressions for Fathers Day, Graduations, Weddings, etc. and allow me to "show-off" the remodeling.
Hope you all enjoy the day.

Uppercase makes the News

2008-04-27T19:48:00.001-07:00

I found a great little story about uppercase on a local Oregon news program.
Check it out---http://www.kptv.com/video_legacy/15155655/index.html
I also found a great video on applying our expressions. I will try and post it here once I get it figured out. If your interested, you can always email me.
Yes, we did survive our latest 12 inches or so of snow-yes thats SNOW - winter is never going to end here in MN.
T/C all

Bring on the Spring!

2008-04-21T20:06:00.000-07:00

Well now that tax time has finally come and gone, I can get back to updating our blog. Scott and I are also having some new flooring installed in our home-and with that we also decided to change our kitchen/livingroom area a little (moved a wall). Boy it makes for a mess around here - but I am sure we will be happy once it all gets done.
Uppercase has annouced some new start-up incentives. Anyone siging up now will get some additional "start-up" help. If interested please drop Sharon or I an email or phone call.
The company is also gearing up for their conference in Mpls. It sounds like it will be interesting and fun. I know we are both hoping on attending. Uppercase continues to excite us with their different monthly incentives. I am really looking forward to being able to get back to spending more time with our new business.
T/C all.

Bienvenidos!

2008-02-17T13:24:00.000-08:00

Just wanted to post a quick note that we are back from Mexico in one piece. Besides all of us sisters/spouses going, we were able to meet up with my brother Mike and his wife Tammy. Gave her one of our catalogs to look through. She is a interior decorater -----so one never knows.
The weather was overall very nice. We had one day that it rained most of the day but we were able to take in a few Mayan Ruins-awesome doesnt even touch how one feels looking at them.On another day we did some 4-wheelin and took a dive in a cenote(not sure of spelling) -it is considered somekind of Mayan spirtual place-here again real cool. We also took one day to go to Conzumel-unfortunatly didnt get any snorkeling in. Of course time flys too fast and back to brrrr MN-haha.
Beautiful place-sharon has thought up quite a few jobs she is going to take up (one of course being decorating with Uppercase in all the beautiful homes and hotels) when she moves there. Be sure to ask her about it-lol.
Just a reminder out there to anyone who is still thinking to get a party in before the extra incentives go away that we will need to close the party by the last day of this month (Feb) so dont delay.

Super Bowl Sunday

2008-01-30T12:32:00.000-08:00

Go Patriots!
Boy where did January go? At least it makes it that much closer to spring right!
Hope you've all had to chance to check out our new catalog. Be sure to let Sharon or I know what you think of it. We have had a couple of orders this month and the nice thing is Uppercase seems to really have sped up their shipping process. The extra incentives run through Feb and they really do benefit the hostesses. If your still thinking you want to have a party this winter you might want to get it in by then. Be sure to get in touch with us soon -we are planning a little trip down Mexico way to warm up our old bones. We will be gone for about 9 days over Valentines Day drinking margaritas and soaking up sunshine. The new flower they have is so cute-and be sure to try it out in the new lime green, or honey wheat. Sharon has put a couple on a stained glass and ----you will love it. And don't forget the bygo 1/2 off on pages 84-89. I will try and update our picture show here real soon (once again i will need the expertise of Brittany).

New embellishment library

2008-01-13T19:16:00.000-08:00

UL has come out with a new library of all of the embellishments that are available. Over 30 pages of them. Basically, if they ever had it listed in their catalog your allowed to order it. Be sure to check it out on their web site. I think some of you will find that this will allow you to put some finishing touches to your own designs, or just to place by themselves to perk up a spot.
We did get our copy of the new colors-lime green, warm stone, and honey wheat. I think these are going to be well liked also.
Hope your enjoying the new year-cold here today --6 below right now. And if you haven't checked out the new catalog, do it.
Stay warm & take care,
Christy & Sharon

2008 Incentives for Jan and Feb!

2008-01-01T12:54:00.000-08:00

OK Gals Uppercase has come through with some great incentives for you to hostess a party and for your guests for the months of January and February. If you were thinking about hostessing, don't delay. Hope to hear from you soon.
Please read an insert from a letter posted on our website today:

2008 inspirations incentive
1. Just when you thought Buy One / Get One Half Off was
just for shoes! During the Inspirations Incentive, your
customers can get half off any item on pages 84-89
(2008 Spring/Summer Idea Catalog) when an item of
equal or greater value from these same pages is purchased.
Pages 84-89 are full of holiday and special occasion
expressions that are sure to be loved by your
customers. There is no limit to the number of half off
items your customers can get! (These items are
available to order beginning January 10Th.)
Here’s how it works:
• Let each customer know about the half-off incentive.
• As your customer completes her order, identify
expressions that come from pages 84-89.
• Place these items in order from highest value to
lowest value. (You can do this on a scratch piece
of paper–they do not have to be listed on the
Customer Order Form in this order.)
• Reduce the price of every other item on this list by
50%, beginning with the second item on the list.
2. Hostesses are the heart of your business. Treat them
to something special during the Inspirations Incentive
by bumping them up one Hostess Rewards level above
the one they actually earn for their Open House.
(This bump is in addition to the one your Hostess may
receive from her Double-Up amount.)
Example:
If your Hostess’ Open House totals $599, she would
normally be entitled to:
• $70 in free product
• Two (2) half-off catalog items
During the Inspirations Incentive, she would be
able to jump to the next rewards level and receive:
• $100 in free product
• Three (3) half-off catalog items

With the beginning of each new year, everyone is inspired to make life just a little more wonderful—and what better
way than by surrounding yourself and others with inspiring and motivating decorative expressions. The 2008
Inspirations Incentive allows you to do just that! From January 1st to February 29th, your Hostesses, and your
customers can get a little extra inspiration with each order placed.
Because this incentive period is for a limited time,
all 2008 Inspirations Incentive orders must be
submitted on or before February 29th (11:59:59 p.m.
MST).

Some Examples

2008-01-01T10:48:00.001-08:00

Not a creature was stirring!

2007-12-23T05:33:00.000-08:00

Merry Christmas to All.

Yes the NEW CATALOGS ARE HERE and filled with new great things. Even though we are going to miss alot of the designs that are leaving - I dont know if its because it is still so new to us, or if it is just that we like some of the sayings so much-the new book is exciting.

They have some new colors-Honey Wheat, Warm Stone, and an Electric Lime. Here again we think you are really going to like these colors. They also have a new Glossy White specifically formulated for outside use-such as auto windows, mailboxes, and storefront windows. Sounds interesting even though I have had no problem with the decal that came with our kit that I put on the outside of my car. They have some new fonts when your designing your own statement. Should be fun to go in and play around with these to see what they look like. Also in the new catalog they have listed some tips for designing your own projects, a chart of what colors go together,new embellishments, etc. I could go on and on, lets just say be sure to check it out and let us know if you want to have a catalog for your very own.

Hope you all enjoy your christmas and we'll catch up after the big day. We have taken some pictures of some of our designs we are going to post here. Just got to get Britt to show me how to do it-hopefully by the new year. We are looking forward to showing off the new stuff so let us know if/when you want to host a party.

Here is the Discontinued List for 2007! Be sure to check it out.

Let it snow!

2007-12-01T17:26:00.000-08:00

Hope you all had a great turkey day. I had a little trip to Laughlin for golfing, etc. with Scott and some friends for a few days over the weekend. Nice little getaway before winter sets in. Sharon is gone this weekend to Vegas for a little relaxation, etc.
Had our Holiday Open House in West Fargo today and of course the forecast was for heavy snows and high winds (I think Scott even said they had put our area in a blizzard warning). And snow it did. I had no problem getting up there but I am sure some people felt it safer to just snuggle it at home. Can't blame them as that first significant snowfall always makes you cautious. Don't know for sure how much we got, but I would say there was at least a foot on my car when I left to drive home. Fortunately, some gals did venture out to keep us somewhat busy. They had Mary Kay, Creative Memories, Pampered Chef, Tastefully Simple, Discovery Toys, and us - Uppercase Living. There was to be a couple of more but I think they had gotten the flu bug or something. Nice meeting all the ladies. Hope the weather is more cooperative for our Barnesville Holiday Open House next Saturday. If your in the area be sure to stop in at St James Church.

Uppercase did come out with their discontinued sheet of items today, won't know the additions until the end of the month. Drop me a line if your interested. I haven't gone thru the entire list yet( 7 pages long), but did notice most of the boy items were off-good thing is that means all new sayings. EXCITING. If there is a saying you really know you want, be sure to check with us if its going to be discontinued. We can order it thru Jan 9th. Wouldn't want you to miss out.

Hope you all enjoy the snow.

Happy Thanksgiving to all!

2007-11-17T18:47:00.000-08:00

Ok, we have been at this for about 6 weeks now and loving it. Sharon stumbled onto one of their catalogs at her work and felt this would be something good for both us to get involved with. I think we were both suffering a midlife crisis since neither one of us have ever did any home party plan or public speaking before. Being both cautious and brave, we decided to go into it together (strength in numbers right). Well I think it is safe to say we are both just loving it, and spend most of our extra time working with it . Have had about a half dozen parties so far and learning lots along the way.

The company has also just announced that come January there will be new incentives available for customers. I am sure this is going to go over great. Along with the new catalog that comes out then, I am sure we will stay busy.

If you haven't checked this out yet, go to the following-
uppercaseliving.com. Follow the registration process and enter ID # 227990 and token vanwechel. I would also strongly suggest seeing it in person as I don't think you get the full picture through a catalog. Sharon has also did some qreat things in her house with their product of which I am sure she would love to show you. Wish us luck.
