Hello Ladies and Gentlemen! 
A friend from a Scrapbooking message board told me about this site, so thought I would come over and check it out! I have been on just a few days, but you all are AMAZING! What a wealth of information! I am sure I will be seeing more of you all, and will certainly be directing me team over here as well.
Not sure if you want to know anything about me, but here it goes anyhoo!
I am Kristin Cherwinski, from E. Tawas Michigan. I started this biz just over 3 years ago at a cooking show a gal from church was putting on. I was new to the area, and a new mom for the second time. I fell in love with the consultant and she asked me to join her team. Took the info home to my hubby who said, "not just no, but h*ll no!".
About 3 months after that show, Laurie came back up our way again, and did another show for another of the ladies from my new little church. I helped her tally orders (as there were like 35 people there!), mine included, which was $140... and I ordered the kit as well. Didnt tell my husband until the stuff came by UPS. My new philosophy.... "sometimes it is easier to ask for forgiveness than it is to ask for permission."
I got a great start to my business, and then in my third month, having all ready recruited a few gals, I started having health issues. My doc said, "Quit your job, you are having anxiety attacks like I have never seen before." I said NO WAY JOSE! I plugged away on drugs, only a year later to find out, my gall bladder needed to come out and wha~la... problem solved! Over the last three years in the biz, I have had a slew of medical issues, but so far everyone has been wonderful with it.
Last year, I earned TPC in recruiting and took my Husband on a 7 day Carribean Cruise. (CANNOT tell you how wonderful that was... I am not sure just how many times he thanked me and told me how proud he was, and I also cannot tell you how many times I said "I told you so!" ) Right after that trip, I was diagnosed with Bells Palsy (again from my doc~ The worst case he had seen) which rendered me partially blind and deaf! So I took it easy for a few months, and my team stepped up to bat and really lead by example. (I am so blessed it is unbelieveable to me!) Even when I was asked to do a tip at Nancy Jo Ryans exec banquet, my face was still paralized on the left side, and I looked horrible, but I felt like $1 million! My teammates, and others stood by my side and I am so grateful! Isnt this business amazing?!?
I really think this medical stuff started when I married my husband.. what do you all think?! Can I blame him?! Heheh. Actually, he too has been just amazing. Right now I am looking at a breast biopsy on the 22nd of this month, so I have been milking it a bit with him, telling him I want to do things he would have never gone for before. (Like me going to PA on the 25th to attend one of Don Funts shows!) LOL!
My team has grown, and shrunk over the last three years. Last year I joked I had the most fertile team on the planet having 9 consultants pregnant at the same time! Hey, dont look at me! It wasnt my fault!! I just feel like God must really love me bunches to put all these blessings in my life, and I dont take anything for granted! I love to share, and I play well with others..hehe. Oh, and I also have a wacky sense of humor too.
Outside of PC, I love to go riding with my husband (we own a Harley), though last year I couldnt because of the Bells Palsy thing, so watch out this summer... we are hittin the road! I love body art, and have several tattoos that I love, and some that I wish I had never gotten. I am a fairly new Christian having accepted Jesus into my life for good about 4 years ago. And I love to scrapbook... more of an altering fool that anything else. I tell my two boys (ages 13 & 3) that if they stop moving around too much, I may just try to mod podge some paper onto them and alter them up as well!
Hmmmm,,, Ok, I think that is all. Look forward to chatting with you all more!!
