Congratulations Bethany!

Bethany is leaving us! She found out tonight that she is being promoted to store manager at Fashion Place! Most of you know that she has been vying for this position for the last few weeks.
It is always a process at AT and it's difficult to wait it out, but she did it! We are so excited for her. She has worked really hard and has put a lot of time into helping out 340 while they have been short-staffed. I know the team up there is really excited for her to be the big boss! Congratulations Bethany, we will miss you!

Tick Tock

So, one of the things I did over my weekend off was make a clock. I was really nervous about it.
One of my friends from high school hosted a clock party. She promised that no artistic ability was required, so I decided to give it a shot. I did everything but the base paint, which they had done for us previously. Just wanted to show it off! Also, I thought I would show you the pumpkins we carved the week of Halloween. Matt carved the cannibal pumpkin. We had a great time.

Welcome to our Blog!

Thanks to Chelsie for our name, we are up and running! It has been a busy day for us at AT. Wendy and I came into the store at 7 a.m. to set up for beauty. Wow, it was a lot more work than I thought it would be. I am actually a fan of the lotion. I haven't been able to sample all of them yet, but I have found a few I like so far. I think they are all have a citrus scent, which I like. Remember that we all get to buy 3 products (lotion, mist, or wash) for $5 this week. Our friends and family event is this Thursday through Saturday, so be sure to pick up coupons to give your gf's so that they can get 25% off. The nice thing about this coupon is that there is no minimum purchase.

So, just a bit of news: Brianne opened 6 credit cards in a 4 hour shift the other day! Is that a record? I challenge anyone to beat that! I tease her because I told her that I think the clients felt obligated to open a card after she talked about the benefits for 3 minutes straight before letting them respond. She honestly did not let them get a word in until after she had explained all the benefits. She was also really positive when offering the card which I know helped. Way to go Brianne!

I just got off the phone with Chelsie and she told me she got a dozen red roses today! They were left on her porch by her boy, Jordan. Apparently, he had been roaming around her dorm for a half hour trying to figure out how to get inside and put them on her bed without her knowing and couldn't get the right opportunity, so left them on her doorstep. He must have stuck around to make sure she got them, because as soon as he saw them disappear from the doorstep, he called her!

Well, ladies, I am super excited to start this blog so we can all keep up with what is going in each other's lives. I know I get to work with most of you every week, but some of you don't see each other except at our lovely quarterly meetings at midnight. Also, we decided at our meeting to start the blog so that we could each recognize each other for jobs well done in and outside of work. I think it will be a fun way to keep in touch and get to know each other better!
