BOO! A Note from the Editor of The Happy News: It's almost Halloween and I'm doing a little reorganization here at "The Happy News". This week I learned that some of my readers were only reading the first page (you know who you are!) So I thought maybe I should limit myself to just one page. But I have so much to say and share with you dear readers (and getting more all the time-I've had to work hard to keep it at 2 pgs) I decided that was not the answer. So my idea was to move things around so that you'll have to search through both pages to find your favorite sections! Trick or Treat............ Joyce

A special Thank You to Kelli Bartsch of ChicConnect who works so hard on behalf of our members . She did a bang up job with the “Ladies' Night Out” Benefit for Breast Cancer Awareness. If you didn't make it you missed out on a treat. Fabulous door prizes and free food. Need I say more. Check out www.chicconnect.org to find out about this great networking group.

The Happy News is…when you clean the clutter out of your life you will feel liberated and have more time for fun! I bring up clutter (again) because as the holidays are approaching (fast) we have lots of extra activities and if we have a lot of clutter in our homes we will not be able to enjoy the festivities as much as we would like. Now I'm not talking about perfection here. I'm talking about so many piles on the desk you can't find a place to address an envelope to send a holiday card. Or a kitchen drawer so full of gadgets that the thought of trying to find a measuring spoon so you can bake a favorite holiday treat makes you want to take a tranquilizer and lie down until Ground Hogs Day. If you have such clutter (and many of us do) cleaning it all up will be a mammoth undertaking. However, if you take one flat surface or one drawer at a time you can reduce or eliminate you excess clutter in no time. You will feel the weight on your shoulders and in your mind lift considerably. You will be able to enjoy the holidays with less stress, less mess, less fuss and with a lighter heart. Don't forget to check out FlyLady.net for more detailed help in getting rid of your clutter and preparing for stress free holidays.

Other Happy News You Can Use!

How much time do you spend (waste) looking for your keys? It's one of my daily frustrations and I found the SOLUTION! It's called The Chic Magnet. You put the magnet on the inside of your purse and a cute charm attaches on the outside. Just toss your keys in you purse and they stick. See a demonstration at www.thechicmagnet.com. If you want one, call me. (712) 256-2633. I have an Iowa connection with the owner/inventor Christina Rees. (and we can save the shipping!!!) I got a pineapple and I love it! See this month's Freebies to see how you can try one for Free! Every woman you know will want yours so you better buy at least 2.

The Happy News is…You can brighten your world with candles.

“Many of you have candles sitting on tables in your houses collecting dust. To add sparkle to your life, dust off those candles and light those wicks. The soft glow and soothing smell will make any room cozier. Not just for holidays (or special celebrations), the flickering flames can inspire fun everyday!” When I was teaching “The Girls” about manners and fine dining we had a whole drawer full of candles and candle holders along with the cloth napkins and napkin holders that we used to brighten our weeknight table. Any dinner, any night became special and the memory of their little faces glowing in the candle light will melt my heart forever! Lighting candles not only makes any day special, they can make you feel special too! Pamper yourself with a candle lit bath. So...”Embrace the wide wonderful world of candles. Set their wicks on fire and bask in the glow. Strike up some fun for yourself today. Light a candle.”

Currently Available from Avon: Hot Apple Pie Candle in a Jar, Harvest Candle Tins in Cinnamon or Maple And Breakfast Cinnamon Bun Candle all on pg. 97 of C-21 . And Frosted Leaf Candle Set, Candle Dish and Flocked Leaf Candleholder with votive on pgs-164-65 of C-20. New for C-22 pg 22 Stained Glass Gift Boxes with flameless tea lights.

***Joyce's C-22 Picks***

The Avon Holiday Store is Open

And there are so many great Avon Products to help you with all your holiday shopping. It's hard for me to select picks for this campaign so I would just encourage you to get a Sharpie pen and your C-22 brochure the get comfy in your favorite chair, put your feet up and slowly peruse the C-22 offerings. Write names by the jewelry and gift sets you want to order for those on your gift list-- don't forget your kids teachers and your stylist. Then mark the holiday decorations that you'd like to add to your family's holiday traditions (pg. 14 or 15 would be great ideas) . Next pick out somethings you'd like for yourself (after you place your C-22 order be sure to leave the brochure somewhere Santa will find it with a note suggesting how happy you will be with something lovely from Avon for Christmas ( anything from pgs 52-67 would be lovely under your tree)

Finally don't forget stocking stuffers and little gifties to attach to the bows of your small gifts that will turn them into a “big deal”.

Now for the really good part. If it all adds up to more than you can spend right now... I am a privileged Avon Lady who can get your entire order for you on a “Lay Away” Plan! Just pay ¼ of your total every 2 wks and by December 7^th your Christmas shopping will be finished and paid for!!!

No trips to the mall, no crowds, no overpriced products. Just great gifts, holiday cheer, and personal service from ME! Your Avon Lady.

The Happy News Vol.2 Issue 9

September 25,2007

The Happy News is…declare a “Do-Nothing” Day. I met an old friend last week in Lenox, Iowa. As we were catching up on each other's lives and lamenting about the lack of time to stay in touch, she said, “why do we think we have to be so busy all the time?' “Yes”, I thought, “why do we?” I'm sure that when we're gone, the world will continue so I'll bet it won't stop if we just drop out of the rat race for a day. Even though there are times when we are apparently doing nothing (nothing constructive anyway) we are still thinking about work or chores we feel should be doing or feeling guilty about the work or chores we're not doing. To have a true “do-nothing” day you must first repeat out loud, “I am not in charge of the universe. I have the right to just BE. The world will continue to spin without me.” Then proceed to spend a day doing exactly nothing: no thinking about work or chores and no guilt about work or chores. Get a days worth of movies or music and assume the prone position on the sofa. A “do-nothing” day can be a good transition between seasons or after a particularly busy time at home or work. It will refresh you and you'll be ready to plunge back into the fray. There is the added benefit of teaching you how to enjoy just being....being still to watch an entire sunset, or swing in a hammock, or listen to children's chatter. To be able to really enjoy doing nothing, repeat frequently the following statement: “I am a human being, not a human doing.”

Avon Lady Saves Life With EyeBrow Pencil

Edna just returned home from a 3 week vacation and calls her Avon lady in a panic! “I have an appointment tomorrow and I'm out of my favorite Avon eyebrow pencil. I bought one at
Wal------ and it looks just awful!” “Don't worry” said the heroic Avon Lady. “I think I have one on my shelf. It's not your favorite but I think it will work well enough until the next order comes in. I have an errand on your side of town this afternoon. I'll bring it over and you can decide.” A couple hours later the resourceful Avon Lady is ringing Edna's doorbell with a light brown eyeliner pencil in hand. “This is great,” Edna declared, “I didn't know what I was going to do tomorrow! You saved my life!”

If you have a cosmetic emergency call this Avon Lady! (1-800-319-4950). She just might be able to save your life! She most always has shampoo, deodorant, shower gel and body lotion on hand just for you!
