2010 IS STARTING OFF JUST GREAT!

I was asked to be on the advisory board for Cierra Ashley, ya it put me in happy shock! So this week Sadie and I took an airplane ride to SLC. My Mom and Andrea spoiled Sadie while I went to meetings. It was a jam pack trip That was INCREDIBLE!!! For 2009 I was #2 in the company for most customers...love that. Of course Heidi was #1 for recruitting and #2 for sales. She leads by example. To also add to the happiness shock level...I am now a Gold Advisor, I skipped silver

wow-za! I am trying to build a team that will take over the world ha ha! If anyone is looking for a great opportunity talk to me! Seriously I feel like I am living my dreams. Life is Great.

Christmas in Canada

We went to Canada for Christmas, can I just say how amazing Dave's family is!!! WE were blessed with good roads. Some of the highlights were games at G-pa & G-ma's, FOOD FOOD FOOD, we went to Calgary to see Paul, Melanie and Rhys, they spoiled us rotten. We went shopping and we also went to the Calgary Zoo lights, that was awesome BUT oh so cold. We let Sadie get to cold and she flipped out, I felt bad. The tradition of running outside around the

house with no socks or shoes on was re-lived with Dave, Madison, Hope and Talon.

Canada was COLD, I mean COLD to the bone!

Dave's dad health is not good. He has Cancer which he has done amazing with, but he is on his second round of chemo and he got swine flu on top of the chemo, he was hospitilized and recovering when we got home, he has lost a lot of weight, he was in rough shape. Such a choice man! He was doing better every day that we there. We love him. I love visiting Canada! So glad we went!!!

A Christmas Ornament from 20ish years ago

Well Tis the Season, Merry Christmas, warmest wishes, etc. etc. etc.

This year as I got the ornaments out to put on the tree, I ran into this sweet reminder. 20 ish years ago on Christmas Eve my cousin Heidi cross stiched this for me. C for Chelsey H for Heidi, FF friends forever (wow this was before texting was even around:) I remember at the time thinking, wow I wish I was talented enough to cross stitch, I loved it A LOT! I have packed this ornament to Canada, Kansas, Utah and now here in Washington. It makes me smile every year. My cousine has shared all the up's and down's of life with me. I have known her since the womb, we have done everything together.

She means everything to me, makes me laugh, let's me cry, fixes everything with care, defends when needed (seriously she could be an attorney) She is a hottie, always up on the latest greatest, she loves her man, well actually I think she has the biggest heart around, she has been the crutch that I have needed these last couple of years, I don't know how it works in the pre-exsistance but I know we pinky promised to help each other through thick and thin, and let me tell you, she has kept her promise. Love yah Heidi ...Oh how I have needed you and appreciated you, YOU have made a difference in my life, a HUGE difference. Coke is it!!! LOVE YAH!

No Heat No Flame No Wax

Well I have been a Cierra Ashley Advisor for about 3 months now....let's just say I have caught the bug! I have met some super fun people, and I have taken 20 steps out of my comfort zone. My cousin AKA "super woman" introduced me Cierra Ashely and the rest is history...today she called me, she is a gold advisor already, 2nd in the company to achieve this!!!!

My best of best friends Josi also is an advisor and is blowing me away with

her AWESOME-NESS! The thing that makes it easy to sell is that is such a great product that works. Seriously no heat no flame no wax! I have my scents at Bella Scrapbook store in Yakima, say hi to Juile and enjoy our cranberry scent in her delightful store. Soon I will be in a Spa in Yakima. I am the ONLY WA/OR consultant so the potential for this company and me is huge! Wish me luck...I would love to do a open house for you, as a hostess you can really get some great discounts! If anyone has some ideas on how I can introduce some Seattle folks this great product please let me know!

But for now enjoy and trust me this product ROCKS! www.cierraashley.com/chelseysmith For my local friends I have some $5 diffusers with scent and reeds in a cute clear bag, already to go.

Sadie Bug... Twinkles... Poodles...SADE...Sadie lady

These are just a few names that we call Sadie. My good friend Kelly took pictures of Sadie... she is amazing, and I am so grateful that she will share her time and talents and her wicked awesome camera with us!

HALLOWEEN FUN!

This year was a no stress day on Halloween. Hudson went to girls choice, Madison was with her buddy Kendyl they went to a surprise b-day party. Talon was an Archer and Shad was a Ninja, Sadie was a butterfly. I use to work and worry about all the details. This year was simple and I enjoyed it the most! We went to Trick or Trunk at the church. It was so fun!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY ANDREA

This is a little birthday shout out to my sister Andrea! Happy birthday Sista!

I had to wait 14 long years for her to enter this world, I had pretty much given up on getting a sister, (5 brothers in a row will do that to you:) I thought that the man upstairs was punishing me for some reason. BUT October 28th the clouds parted and the heaven's opened and the sun began to shine. I remember coming home from school and holding her for hours on the couch. It was like I couldn't let her go. I love her life, it is totally different than mine.

She is single, she is a college student, she works full time, she works for Provo Craft and hates scrap booking(how does that happen????), she writes songs, she is smart, she is blond, she has perfect teeth and a great smile! SHE UPDATES AND UNDERSTANDS MY SILLY I-POD, She is magical with photo shop, she is LOVED by all my kids, for fun she gets me a years subscription of Rachel's Rays magazine, she is giving....For my birthday she wrote a song about me....I wish I was poetic and clever to do the same for her. BUT that is not one of my gifts!

One thing I know for sure, she is not only my sister BUT my friend! I love you sis!
