CHA was a great success for Bella Blvd, and I want to take one more day to say a huge *T.H.A.N.K.Y.O.U* to everyone involved in the prep-work, set-up days, pre-planning and executing for the big Winter Show.....most of all, I need to thank my CHA team:
1. Angela Smith/Customer Service Representative. Even though she's my sister, she's a great asset to Bella Blvd. Many of you have been so sympathetic to her story and offered her hugs, prayers, cards, and gifts while we were at the show. It was her first time traveling away from home since last fall's accident, and I am incredibly thankful for her strength, dedication and hard work at CHA.
2. Robin Huber/Director of Operations & Finance. Many of you may not know this, but Robin was the first person I called when I wanted to start this company. She always has my back, and Bella's best interest at heart. At the end of each day when I count my blessings, I am always so thankful for our relationship and the business she has helped me grow.
3. Therese Hennessy/Retail Shop Owner/Make-N-Take Queen. While I've known Therese for a couple years now, this is the first trip she has made to CHA as part of the Bella team. Therese planned and prepared *all* our booth's make-n-takes! She is super organized, such a hard worker and very efficient....and she knows how to have a good time too ;)Thank you girls for being a part of my dream, and traveling and representing Bella Blvd. Together, we make a great team!
We will begin blogging regularly again this week, bringing you loads of inspiration with our newest releases!
Looks like you have some awesome co-workers. thanks for sharing
