Tips for Spring 02/17/2012
 
It is that time of year again! Spring, ah yes...fresh flowers, sunshine, and ooohh wow, look at those windows! Yuck! It is time to clear the cobwebs, wash the windows and freshen up the place. Here are a few tips to get you going:

1. Pay attention to the draft coming through your windows. If your hair is blowing in the wind, it may be time to get an estimate for new windows. Also check the wood trim for cracks, leaks, etc. Oftem times we don't even know there's a probem because we never stop to look behind the curtains.
2. Speaking of curtains. How old are they? Are the linings yellowed? Are the fabrics still vibrant and hanging nicely? If not, consider an updo. It is possible we could change the lining, maybe add a fringe or an accent fabric and create a new look.
3. Accessories! If you haven't taken down Christmas yet, let's do that now. If you have spring accessories that you've stored during winter, it's time to bring them out again. If you don't have any, or need to purchase new, consider pillows, vases, spring flowers, pots, new picture frames, greenery etc.  
4. We can't forget maintenance items such as furnace filters, vents, ceiling fans, light fixtures, the top of cabinetry etc. These places collect dust after only a short period of time so don't forget to have them cleaned.
5. Check the condition of your carpet. If it is fairly new, simply hiring a great carpet cleaning company should suffice. It its been 10 years or more, it may be time to consider replacing it. Not just because of wear and tear and old traffic patterns but also for an update.
6. There are many other simple things to consider like new shower curtains, fresh new hand towels, kitchen and entry rugs, etc.
7. Not ready to buy new but want a fresh look?? Call Creative Design and say, " I need a ROOM MAKEOVER!" We love to do it. We simply remove the items from your room(unless of course they're really heavy) and we place them back, often times in new locations.
8. ORGANIZING!! How do those closets look? Junk drawer in the kitchen? How about the pantry? With all the cool baskets and racks and storage savers out there, there just isn't a reason to be disorganized anymore. Call us if you just can't bear it and we'll take care of it.

Creative Design today and we'll help you get "Spring Ready!"

Would you like to be one? If you already think you are one, you
may want to be a part of a new group.  

Definition: A women that takes  charge of her life and designs it the way she wants to. She figures out how to  balance her career, her family and her health. She doesn’t make excuses or fly  off the handle when things don’t go her way; she creates the path she wants to  travel on.

 A Woman
that Rocks can be a domestic engineer or the CEO
of a corporation or a small business owner.  Whatever  she does, she does it with the utmost integrity and passion. She doesn’t settle  for second best nor is she perfect at everything. She realizes her strengths and  knows when to lean on others for support. 


A Woman
that Rocks has a certain influence and draw to
her that is sometimes unexplainable yet you know somehow you want to know her.
She is someone that others desire to be like. The great thing about this type of
woman is she is happy to share her secrets, her passion, and her style with
anyone.  She isn’t selfish or rude but is absolutely self-confident and reliable. 

The world needs Women that Rock because they believe in things
and they fight for them. They create businesses, they launch new products, they
make things, they mold and support their family, and they build life into their
children, and are a great friend when you need one. 

If you are wondering who you know that is a Woman that Rock s
consider these examples:

Mother  Theresa… A woman of notoriety that loved those less fortunate. She showed us
all how to love and care for one another. 

Susan B Anthony…She fought for 50 years for women’s  rights.

Clara Barton…She founded the Red Cross.


Harriet Tubman…This woman started the Underground Railroad and brought slaves to
freedom.


Oprah  Winfrey…She came from a very poor family and lived in times when people
treated colored people very poorly. She rose above her circumstances and gives
back in big ways to others.


Whether or not you agree with everything these women did or
  shared is irrelevant. The point is they believed in themselves and created
  change. They saw a problem and they solved it. They had a passion and they
  followed it.


I’m not saying that the only way to be an incredible woman you
need to create something massive or be a TV show host, but know that you are a
leader; of your home, your children, your relationship with others. We need
leaders. We need people with passion, strength, integrity. We need people that
care about relationships. We need moms that want their children to grow up in a
world that is safe, caring, responsible, with rights like freedom, job security,
home ownership, fulfilling careers, etc. 

A Woman that  Rocks takes her place in the world and accepts the
challenge to make it better because she believe she can and accepts the
responsibility of bringing her gifts and abilities to serve others. 

If you’re ready to Rock on with us, please visit our Facebook

and ask for an add.

because you want to be this person but aren’t sure what your unique
contribution is, email Donna for a free 15 minute consultation about how to
become a Woman That Rocks!!!
