Although the catalog design shown here [dream plus hummingbird] is under the category of teen bedrooms, I really think this would also be ideal for master bedrooms. The color pictured in the photo here is a UL exclusive color - Tea Green.

The CPSIA does not just affect toys--it regulates all products for children under 12. Clothing, school supplies, cloth diapers, car seats, boy scout patches, bicycles, sippy cups--everything. Congress in its wisdom decided that a problem caused by irresponsible mass-market toymakers should be solved with a one-size-fits-all solution for dozens of industries totally unrelated to toys.
The Handmade Toy Alliance supports the parallel efforts of other industries to gain relief from the onerous enforcement mechanisms imposed by the CPSIA. Although we have proposed our own ideas that would help small toymakers, we believe that the following reforms of the CPSIA would be fair, just, and appropriate to all affected industries:
I'm not an extremist about anything really, but I do try to be as environmentally responsible as I possibly can. One of my major "hang-ups" is wasting paper or having everything printed out on paper. And this is a major reason for this blog - an attempt to minimize waste.
In a Direct Sales business, especially the one I'm in, I have catalogs, lots of flyers, FAQs, Tips, Font Lists, etc. An absolute TON of documents to be printed out. To waste such a high volume of paper and printer ink to disseminate information and sales flyers drives me absolutely bananas. The sales are temporary, new catalogs come out and then you have new updated Order Forms, Invitations, etc., etc. These are all necessary I know, but why not try to reduce the volume of paper going into the landfill and save money at the same time?
About a year ago, I gave one of our beautiful catalogs to my Dentist's office. And gave him an adorable expression for his office - "You don't have to brush all your teeth, just the ones you want to keep!". Since all the girls in the office were interested in looking at the catalog, I left it there. About a month later at another appointment, I asked if they had finished looking through the catalog & if they had any questions. Then the lady at the front desk told me that she had thrown out the catalog!! I was so shocked! For one, Uppercase Living catalogs are so beautiful - how could you even think of throwing it away, and it was a current catalog! To me this was like a slap in the face and was such a senseless waste! After that, I ended up finding another Dentist!
In an effort to cut down on senseless waste, I have documents and flyers posted here that would normally be printed out. This is why I love Scribd so much. You can "show" documents without wasting paper. And if someone wants to print the documents, they can do that too. It's at least an attempt to reduce waste.
I wish Direct Sales
companies and retail businesses would be more conscious about this and
make more of an effort to reduce waste. The catalog needs to be seen on
the web in such a way that a person can "flip through" the pages like
you can do with scribd documents. This is just a common sense way to
deal with the paper volume and save money at the same time.

I don't want to come across weird, but I just have a strong feeling that the people I'm looking for can be found on Social Media. If you're reading this blog post and you found me through Twitter or Facebook, there's a chance we may be a business "match". There's no eHarmony for business alliances, but I just know that I'm meant to find team members to work with me that are like-minded and can help me create a powerful business synergy in this particular niche business. More than just making money - a truely meaningful business with real connections with each other. I really believe there can be "chemistry" or synergy in business. I've read about it with tremendous fascination, but I've only experienced a hint of it. Just enough to cause me to realize I want more - much more. Not just more money, although I need that, but more meaning, more connection, and awesome synergy. And as a natural organic result, income will follow.
I'm in a meaningful business. I just need a team of connected, meaningful people to go with me. I cannot reach my dreams until I find & encourage this synergenic group of poeple that I believe in my heart can be found - in social media. If you have not heard of Uppercase Living, I guarantee you will. I'm here to find my "matches" before someone else does. Recently a mom blogger commented to me - "been there, done that, not interested in selling anything". I realized that she had no clue what this business is about. It's not just about selling just another type of product - it's about changing people's lives with the power of words. Watch this video from Guy Kawaski - this is exactly what is in my heart:
Words are, of course, the most powerful drug used by mankind" Rudyard Kipling (1865 - 1936), English Author

This is one of my very favorite blogs,

good recipes, and is like my "chicken soup for my soul". I would like

struggling too, but I want to support her as best I can. Please help
me in standing with her and making a donation. Visit the wonderfully
