You just won't believe your eyes...fabulous things are happening with Thirty-One!!

What did you say? $461.30 in FREE Thirty-One Goodies!!

It's true folks...it's true. My last hostess, AKA Teri (one of my many wonderful sister in laws), held the most AmAzInG party!! Her party totaled a whopping $2306.50!!! She now holds the record for my biggest party!! She truly is the "Hostess with the Mostess." She earned so many free goodies that she didn't know what to do with herself!! I think she got ALL of her holiday shopping taken care of!! (expect for a boy here and there)

She earned 20% in FREE goodies ($461.30), 5 half price items, FREE shipping and the Large Utility Tote for only $5!! She truly got some amazing, personalized gifts!! Family, friends, teachers...you name it, they will now be receiving a phenomenal personalized gift from Thirty-One!!

However, I do want to acknowledge my other recent hostesses who have also given very successful parties (patry sales in parentheses)!! Jackie Guynes ($1000.50), Susan Gillespie ($513.00), Linda Martinez ($801.00), Kathy Hunt ($547.00), Julie Morrow ($364.00), Barbara Clary ($888.50) and last but not least, another wonderful Sister in Law, Betsy Brininstool Nethery($847.50). All of these women earned a TON of free and half price product...and nearly all of them earned FREE shipping!!

Last but not least, I would like to recognize my wonderful team!! First off, let me tell you how easy it has been to recruit fellow consultants...everyone I meet simply LOVES the products, so they have just wanted to jump on board!! Personally, I know have 6 consultants that I have directly recruited!! When Melanie and Tiffany qualified I became promoted to Senior Consultant. Last month, Sarah and Gina became qualified, which puts me in qualification status to become promoted to Director!! I am beyond excited about my success with Thirty-One and this upcoming promotion. I will officially be a Director as of the end of October! I began my Thirty-One career on May 1st...nearly 6 months later, November 1st I am receiving a huge promotion!

In addition, I want to welcome Betsy and Cassie to my team!! I would also like to congratulate all of my recruits...on their recruits!! As a team we have SIXTEEN wonderful women (from Texas (San Antonio, West Texas and the Panhandle), New York and Maine!! Way to go ladies!! This is awesome for a team that is only 5 and a half months old!! I am looking forward to working with each of you on a more personal level and my new role with Thirty-One.

I truly feel completely blessed that I found Thirty-One. There are so many things that I love about it...Christian based, the CUTE items we sell, personalized/monogrammed, the people I have met (who work for the company and at parties), my financial success, being able to be a stay at home Mom and be there for my daughter, running my own business...and so much more!! If you are interested in making Thirty-One a part of your life, I would love to chat with you and help you get started!! I would love to answer any questions, help you brainstorm on monogramming, business ideas and more! It is honestly the best investment I have made...for so many reasons!!

New Business Cards!!

Just wanted to share my new fancy smancy business cards (or I think so)!! I decided that my cards needed to convey what I sell! I think they are gorgeous and feature our new fall Chocolate Blossom and Chocolate Spot patterns! Keep your eyes open...one might just land in your hot little hands!!

Write this down...New Website!!

When I initially signed up for Thirty-One I tried to make my Thirty-One website with just Kristen...but no luck, it was taken. I then tried KristenB...no luck, also taken. Therefor, I settled on KristenBrininstool...my very long name. I have since learned that Kristen has become available...so I immediately snatched it up!! I think it will be much easier on my customers (because lets face it...I don't have the simplest last name).

Here it is...from now on, please visit:

Her husband appreciates her and can praise her to his associates and friends because she is worthy of praise. Is this attainable for the average Christian woman? Absolutely! All things are possible through Christ...we can all be "Proverbs 31 women."

Customer Special Alert...The Julie Tote!!

Thirty-One loves to reward their customers!! During the month of May, when you spend $20 or more in product (not including monogramming) you will have the opportunity to order a Julie Tote for only $10!! The Julie tote is regularly $26...talk about huge savings!! The Julie Tote is named for our Vice President! Julie chose this easy-going bag because she likes to travel light with a bag that looks great! Includes magnetic closure and two internal pockets!

Choose from these patterns for $10.00 (a savings of $16 off the original price!): Black Floral Dot with Black Lining, Brown with Burgundy Stripe Lining, Pink with Julie Stripe Lining or Animal Print with Black Lining.

Choose from these patterns for $12.50 (a savings of $13.50 off the original price!): Lime Stripe with Pink Lining (no pockets), Black with Grey Plaid Lining or Green Damask with White Lining.

Want to know a fun feature about the Julie Tote?? It’s REVERSIBLE!! Its magnetic closure allows you to turn it inside-out and still have a cute bag!! If you choose to reverse your bag, your pockets will be on the outside...how handy is that?!? Monogramming the Julie Tote will prevent you from being able to reverse the bag, but you can add a cute initial appliqué and still reverse your bag!

After you have purchased $20.00 in product, enter item #3062 to take advantage of this special price! Visit http://www.MyThirtyOne.com/KristenBrininstool and click on "place an order" to view these and other great products from Thirty-One Gifts. The Julie Tote is 14"L x 14.5"H.

My Thirty-One Kit

My Thirty-One kit arrived yesterday...and I LOVE everything in it! They truly send such a great array of product that it will be so easy to start! I already have five, yes FIVE parties booked...and can't wait to get started!! The products are simply so cute and fantastic...they will sell themselves!

Here is what I received from Thirty-One (plus catalogs and information galore!):

I will be hosting an Open House Launch Party at my house on Sunday, May 24th from 1:00 - 5:00 p.m. Feel free to drop by to see all these wonderful products in person! Bring your Mom, sister, neighbor, out of town guests...or whoever your heart desires! Everyone who stops by will have the opportunity to enter a drawing for a FREE Thermal Zipper Tote!! Who can resist? If you are unable to come during that time, just let me know. You can make special arrangements to stop by prior to the party and still be eligible for the drawing! Can't wait to see you!!
