It's OFFICIAL!! Alicia Day is FAMOUS!!! So, here's the story:

"M"om and I are standing in the Clip It Up booth at CHA in Rosemont, Illinois....visiting with "Renee" - the founder of the company "Simply Renee" (they make Clip It Up!).....visiting with her about how much we LLLOOOVVEEE her product, and how friendly they are and how quick they're turn around time is!! You know the usual "schmoozing"! And I'm talking to her about our Cropper Hopper Organizational class that ALICIA teaches, and how she had to RE-write her outline to incorporate the Clip It Up into her curriculum.....all of a sudden Renee SMILES real big and says - does she post on 2peas?? (YES!) is she a cute lil' thing with short hair? (YES!!) She digs through her promo book, that is laminated, and shows me ALICIA's post that she has!!!! Alicia posted on 2peas, her love of the Clip It Up, and Renee got a hold of it and included it in her press packet!!! I took her picture holding it and also of the post!!! She remembered "lil ol'" alicia day and her post!!! CONGRATULATIONS!!!
