Day 1 It’s Sunday Nov. 1 of icraft Bootcamp.
Good morning Bootcampers!
Well its 5 am Sunday morning in Vancouver Canada and I am here with 2 little munchkins (grandchildren with leftover Halloween faces) beside me posting your first Bootcamp message.
Normally on Saturdays and Sundays there are no new assignments but today is special. Today is a roll call day and a “meet your leaders and mentors “ day.
While this is our 3rd Bootcamp I realized how little I know about so many of the friends and buddies I have made in previous programs. “Getting personal” with each other is so important because it is these relationships that keep us going when we need encouragement, praise, information and guidance.
I am an ordinary person (well sort of) that is relatively new in the online selling world. Although it has been almost a year since I have started there is sooooo much that I have to learn and therefore I am so grateful for all of you around me.
I am especially grateful for Linda at
https://icraftgifts.com/gallerialinda and Wendy at
https://icraftgifts.com/winged-heart-studio that have pitched in to help get everything organized, and there are more Bootcamp elves (introduce yourselves please). By the way, we, your program leaders and mentors are all volunteers for icraft with a passion for handmade and a compassion for fellow artisans.
So today, because it is Sunday, we are easing you into the program with roll call. Your assignment is to GET PERSONAL or as much as you feel comfortable with. Tomorrow, I want you to GET PROFESSIONAL. I will show you what I mean in a minute by introducing myself.
You Day 1’s assignment is this, introduce yourself, and then as you read about each other, go right away and click on their shop. Have a look around at what they have and how they present it. You will see some amazing stuff and some very good marketing ideas. Good luck everyone… I am so excited that you are all here and revved up to “fly at it”.
Remember, I am just an email away, as are your other program mentors too. So your every question is important. Please start your Day 1 assignment posting with your intro … as I have …in the subject line … so it is highlighted in the Twitter Feed messages.
Cheers Christine
IT’S ALL ABOUT ME Christine at
https://icraftgifts.com/pillowthrowdecorI’m retired from a 26 year career in real estate which includes sales, ownership, university instructor, trainer, Board President and a whole bunch of other cerebral boring stuff.
Since I am still very, very young
I get to turn my lifelong passion of sewing into a business. I have a drapery and upholstery workroom where I create fantabulous stuff and play with my pillows. (Have I mentioned my talking pillows and flying fairies…? Hmmm? )
After spending most of my life in suits and heels, I now make my fashion statement in PJ’s and sweat socks. I’m a night owl and also an early riser so you’ll see me online anytime day or night. After 32 years apart, I recently married my high school sweetheart. Some days I’m an idiot, a genius, a maniac, a mother of 2, grandmother of 6 wee ones, wife to Laurence, sister to 4, daughter to my Mom, and more… but everyday I’m always a friend for you and an amazing pillow creator for everyone who comes by to visit my store at PillowThrowDecor.
