Mary Kay Sale Friday, August 27

Hello Everyone!

As some of you know I started selling Mary Kay cosmetics to bring in some extra money during law school and because I already loved their products! Well, I have some exciting news for you...

I have been challenged, by my National Sales Director, to have $1,000 in retail sales in one day! Sounds like a lot, doesn't it? This is where YOU can benefit! Hopefully we will be able to help each other!

I am asking all of my customers to go to my website: www.marykay.com/JordanFaulkner and look around the website and through the e-Catalog, it contains all of our new, up-to-the-minute products.

Friday, August 27 is THE $1,000 day!

Orders received from 8am-12pm receive a 30% discount!
Orders received from 12pm-4pm receive a 20% discount!
Orders received from 4pm-6pm receive a 10% discount!

You just go onto my website during these times and place your order, it's that easy to get these huge discounts! If you have trouble with the website, or just prefer to place an order by phone or email, the same time discounts apply. The website is very self-explanatory. You will enter your debit/credit card information, and though the discount will not show up at this point, I will apply the appropriate discount when I run the cards that evening. I can deliver orders, put them in the mail, or you will be able to pick them up. I must have your order by 6:00 PM to qualify for the discounts, so let's BEAT THE CLOCK!

In return for your support, I will include a free eyeshadow, of your choice, with every order over $50.00. AND...When I reach my $1,000 goal, I will draw from the orders and one lucky customer will get THEIR ORDER FREE!!! For every $25 spent, you will have your name entered into the drawing an additional time.

Please feel free to tell any and all about this sale! For every friend of yours that places an order, you will get an extra 5% discount off your order (just send me an email, JordanLFaulkner@gmail.com, by 6:00 letting me know how many orders were from your friends, and you can use this to take your discount all the way to 50% off)!

If you want a new look, or to learn more about Mary Kay products, I would be happy to spend some time with you one-on-one, or invite 2-7 friends and YOU CAN EARN FREE PRODUCT AND HOSTESS INCENTIVES! If you book an appointment you will get one additional entry into the drawing on Friday!

I am so excited about this challenge! I appreciate you and THANK YOU for helping me achieve my goal!

I know this was a little long, so to sum it up:

Log onto my website, www.marykay.com/JordanFaulkner, this Friday, August 27, and place your order for exciting cosmetic and skin care products! You must place your order between 8am and 6pm to qualify for the discounts, but the earlier, the better! Pass this onto your friends, let me know they ordered, and earn 5% off for each friend's order. Every order puts your name into a drawing for your order to be free, for every $25 you spend your name goes in again, and if you book an appointment your name goes in again!

I will draw for the FREE ORDER Friday night, and let everyone know who the lucky winner is!

Sewing and Seashores

I had a baby shower to go to for my friend from Lexington, Bridgette, about two weekends ago. I have been wanting to learn how to quilt so I decided to take this opportunity and try a baby quilt, at least I knew that it would be smaller than a normal one! It really did not take that long, and I had to rip out a few stitches, but it turned out pretty well.

This is the finished quilt. I took four fabrics and pieced them together to make four blocks. Then I sewed the blocks together, layered the front, backing, and batting, stitched them together, and then hand stitched up the hole. Then I just top-stitched around the edge, and then did a criss-cross quilting stitch.

This picture shows the backing, it was pink with white polka dots. The fabrics ended up matching perfectly with the baby's nursery.

For my last week of summer, I did not have to work, and we were able to go to the beach with Will's family for almost an entire week. We had such a wonderful time. We were right on the beach which was great, but I think Grady was the one most happy about that.

Since it was the middle of the summer, dogs are not supposed to be on the beach until after 6 pm. So, every night right at 6 we opened up the door and there Grady went. Will and I loved playing in the ocean with him!

We had such a wonderful time with the Faulkners. It was a great vacation, and a perfect way to relax before school started back!

Hello Everyone!

Although no one may have missed me, lets face it, I have like two followers, I sure did miss ya'll! The last month has been filled with out of town trips, being without my computer, trying to soak up the last bit of summer laziness, and everything in between.

Well...on August 3rd our furry child, Grady, turned 1! We had a full night of doggy fun planned. We were meeting a few friends, and their dogs, at the dog park for a play date, and then we were going to have Frosty Paws, doggy ice cream, back at the house. Well, Wal-Mart apparently stopped carrying Frosty Paws and then it rained so we could not go to the dog park. But don't worry, it was still a great night for Grady!

It stayed dry long enough for Grady (the one laying down) and Gunner to play in the back yard. Gunner is one of our neighbors dog, and is a Golden Retriever as well, just about two months younger than Grady. Gunner actually was attacked by an alligator in our complex a few days before this, but besides a cut on his head, he came out unharmed!

I think Grady actually liked his birthday hat, he wore it without a fight almost all night.

In addition to new toys, Grady got a little vanilla ice cream. We had to go with regular ice cream since Wal-Mart was out of Frosty Paws. Overall, I think he had a pretty good birthday.

Fast forward to August 6...our friends Zac and Alicia got engaged!!!!!!

Zac Rich is one of Will's best friends, and was a groomsman in our wedding. He is from Lexington and grew up going to school with Will and me. He and Will played basketball together growing up, and I know Will cherishes their friendship so much. Zac went to USC Upstate to play basketball in college, which is where he met Alicia Donald, his fiance! Alicia is a nurse down here in Charleston and is one of the sweetest people you will ever meet! They are such a wonderful couple and Will and I wish them nothing but the very best!

Here is the beautiful couple after coming back to Alicia's house. A few of us were at her house to congratulate them after Zac proposed. Zac had planned on proposing on the beach, but pretty much the worst storm ever hit that night, so he ended up proposing on the Battery in Charleston in the pouring down rain, which is actually pretty romantic!

Alicia showing off her BEAUTIFUL ring! It is a princess cut solitaire, and looks so good on her hand!

Will and Zac's friend Jeremy and his fiance, Brittany, were able to come down from Lexington for the engagement celebration as well! We are so excited for Brittany and Jeremy as well!

It was such a fun night, and we cannot wait until... August 6, 2011 for the wedding!!

I will have to catch you up on everything else later...it is getting pretty late and I have got to get used to going to bed early again, since I start school back on Thursday!

To My Friends...

While at PC I was so blessed to make amazing friends. These girls became my sisters and will always have a special place in my heart. I wanted them to know how much they mean to me, and to show my love I wanted to share a few of their best pictures to show you just how wonderful they are.

I hope this shows you how wonderful and classy my PC girls are! (Believe me, this is just the tip of the ice burg.) Sorry some were blurry. Ya'll have a great night!

Summer Times

I am sorry that this is going to be a long post, I have been a little slack lately and so I have a few things to catch up on. This summer has been so much fun, and is going by way too fast!

For the last month or so, Matt, Alyssa, and their dog Tiger have been living with us while their house was being finished. Well last week they closed on their new house, and are official home owners! Their home is absolutely beautiful, and they have already made it look amazing with their decorations.

This is Matt and Alyssa walking into their new home as home owners!

We tried to help over there at the end of last week and over the weekend. We painted, moved furniture, and just tried to help Matt and Alyssa organize all of their new things. By Sunday, they had gotten a lot done, so we relaxed for the 4th of July.

Matt grilling out for the 4th on his new grill. We had all the great foods, played cornhole and went to the pool in their neighborhood for our celebration! It was great to relax with Matt, Alyssa, Will, and my dad on Sunday, especially after such a busy week and weekend.

Will and I in their new kitchen on Sunday.

Alyssa in the kitchen with Tiger. I will say, in this new house, Tiger fits in, and does not look near as massive! I think he is loving it as much as Matt and Alyssa are. Alyssa made homemade peach ice cream on Sunday and it was delicious! We had such a great 4th!


Will and I both grew up Atlanta Braves fans. I love pulling for the Braves, don't get me wrong, but I am not the most dedicated fan, unlike my friend Erin who has an obsession and will talk Braves with my dad for hours. I just have a hard time sitting down and watching a game on television, but if you are going to Turner Field, count me in! We were able to go two weekends ago, and it did not disappoint; so much fun!

This is Will and me in front of the stadium. This was actually Will's first time at Turner Field, he had not seen the Braves play since they moved into the new stadium.

Random story: When Will and I were in the eighth grade he went to New York with his family to visit his grandmother and I was on a trip to New York at the same time with my mom's students. Well, we actually both ended up at the Mets vs. Braves game the same night. I tried to find Will in the stadium, and got lost! I mean lost to the point that my mom had asked the security guards if they had seen me, and wanted to put my picture up on the big screen. Finally I found my seats again, and there was Will, he had come looking for me too! Little did the two of us know then that 10 years later we would be married!

Here are the boys (Matt, my dad, and Will) at the stadium. It was so hot that day, and even though we had awesome seats, they were right in the sun! It was all worth it though, to see Chipper Jones hit a 3 run homer in the 7th inning that won the game.

When I was little, my favorite Braves player was #27 Fred McGriff. I know that now many of you are laughing and rolling your eyes at me because I do not even know that much about him. I think I just really liked his nickname, "The Crimedog". But, either way, I could not resist taking a picture with this when I saw it in the hall at the stadium.


Here is me and my dad after the game. We were so excited to see the Braves win, especially since we knew that it would probably be the last time we saw the Braves play with Bobby Cox or Chipper Jones. We had so much fun in Atlanta, hopefully we will be back sooner this time.


I talked about being in Ocean Isle for a few days, but I never posted any pictures. I was terrible and only took a couple. We had a lot of fun, and it was so wonderful to get to see family members.
This is me and my Aunt Dotte and my cousin Grace. Grace is about to start high school and I cannot believe how much older she has gotten in just the year since she was in our wedding.

Me and my cousin William. He is starting at UT in the fall!

Ok ya'll, sorry for such a long post. I will do better! Hope everyone is having a great week!
