Just 7 days to go before the FAB event that will Cuddle Your Soul!

This is exactly how I feel.. and it appears I'm not alone!  

Thank you so much to everyone who's been in touch to say they are really excited about the Cuddle My Soul event next Saturday - it makes my heart sing!

Thank you to everyone who's been involved in the event - John Howie for creating a beautiful advertising banner and Michelle Howie for hosting the banner in a prime position on the Meet and Mingle website for weeks on end!   

To those of you who have been tweeting out the event and posting updates on Facebook - You know who you are and this event will be a rip-roaring success because of your efforts - my heartfelt thanks to you.

I'm so excited about meeting all the lovely people that I have been talking to through the Gossip Girls groups, the stall holders and those that are delivering presentations.  It's lovely to be able to put a face to a name and finally, be able to say 'Hello' and show my appreciation.

My family are being just wonderful, Katie is helping me with posters, Max is helping on the day.  Nick (Max's dad) is coming up from Devon to run the Cafe with my partner Mark - it's a real family affair.

I've chosen the SeeSaw Charity to be the beneficiary of this event, as I witnessed first hand the grief and suffering that children and their families go through when a parent dies.  The work of SeeSaw is just outstanding and I know that you will be blown away when you meet the ladies from SeeSaw at the event.

My whole body tingles at the thought of OxBox coming to film the event - it will be a incredible support and promotion of the wonderful stall holders, as well as more exposure for SeeSaw.

As for SWISHING - if you haven't done it before - you are in for a real treat!  Isn't it wonderful that you can bring an item of clothing, or a pair of shoes or bag that you no longer want and swap it for something you do want?  I'm bringing a few things - don't forget to bring yours! 

I really am so excited about this event and I thank you all from the bottom of my heart for your love, encouragement and networking!

Please continue to support the event by letting everyone know about it and let's have it be an amazing day to remember, for everyone concerned!

Key Info:  Doors open10am - 4pm   £2.50 entrance

With love, gratitude and many thanks..

Need a new profile picture for your social media?

Max Daymond

I am thrilled that Max Daymond will be at the Cuddle My Soul event, taking profile shots of people for their social media.

Katie Knott

Max will be setting up his studio, complete with lights and background, offering you the chance to have a fantastic, new high resolution profile 'head shot' which you can use on your social media profiles or in your business.

Don't worry about making sure your hair is OK, there will be a mobile hairdresser and make up artist at the event to make sure you are looking your best.

Max will also create a QR Code (quick response) for you and your business.  QR codes are appearing everywhere, you may have seen them in the shops, on people's websites and in magazines.  QR codes are all the rage in America and as people become more familiar with them, they will become so here too.

QR codes are easily scanned into your iphone or mobile device, you just need to download the relevant QR code reader app for your phone.

When you have a QR code, you can use it anywhere and instead of people having to manually enter data and information into your phone - you just scan the QR code!
Not long to go now - Saturday 22nd October, 10am to 4pm £2.50 entrance (for charity).

Here's your invitiation to SWISH...

I am so looking forward to the Cuddle My Soul SWISH!

Have you been to a swishing event yet?  They're all the rage in London.

The racks and rails are ready to be adorned with all the lovely items of clothing, shoes and bags that you bring along to the event to swap and exchange - exciting isn't it?

If you are wondering what to bring to the Swish - here's 2 suggestions
Items that you haven't worn for a few months (or ages!)
Things that no longer fit (and you know that they probably never will again).

For those of you who haven't been to a Swish before - the process is really simple - when you arrive at the event, you'll be given tickets for your swishing items.  You then hang your swishing clothes on the relevant rails (they will be marked up by size)  same with shoes - just put them onto the racks under the appropriate size and bags can go onto the table.

Then you can go off and have a wander around the stalls, maybe have a therapy taster session, tarot reading or listen to one of the many speakers.  The Swishing room will be open the whole time - for you to claim the item/s you want - It's all very organised and great fun and you can pick up some great stuff.

I look forward to seeing you there!
