Earlier this year, when Uppercase Living introduced our brand new Decorative Prints, I kind of scratched my head and wondered about them including a rooster set among the first few designs. Of all the possible choices, I thought, why start with something as random as roosters? Imagine my surprise when I opened my latest Pottery Barn catalog and saw a number of different items using, you guessed it, roosters! Once again, it seems that the UL designers were ahead of a trend by including those and all the other roosters in our catalog.
As it turns out, roosters are a symbol of luck and good fortune, and who doesn't want some of that good fortune represented in their home decor? Tuscan legend has it that one rooster's crow once saved an entire village from danger.
The tremendous variety in Pottery Barn's roosters lends them to lots of different decorating uses. From bright and whimsical, to understated folk art; from small details to large pieces, there's a way for everyone to include this cheerful trend in their decorating.
Whether you're ahead of the trends, have always loved roosters, or you'd like to add a little French Country flair to your home for the first time, Uppercase Living also has a choice for everyone. Of course, the most vivid are those original Rooster Decorative Prints. The artwork on these is beautiful and the feathers are so lifelike. The touches of red would tie in beautifully with any other red items in a room. You can use these guys as a set or scatter them throughout your kitchen, living room or entry. I think they would look really cute on a back splash or just hanging out right above the baseboard. They come in 3 sizes to give you lots of options.
The rooster motif is also available in our matte vinyl. This choice gives you almost unlimited versatility for not only are these two rooster styles available in all of our 40+ colors, but they also come in sizes ranging from 3 to 18 inches. The smaller sizes can be applied to individual tiles in a back splash, used to create a border or applied to our coasters to create a decorative accessory or gift for a rooster lover.
The larger size can be applied alone or in a grouping right to the wall. It can also go on a tile or board to create a decorative accent. Here, a rooster in Whipped Creme is shown on our new Punched Metal Tile in Berry. You can continue the French Country theme by looping a ribbon through the holes and hanging it from our new Fleur de Lis medallion.
A more subtle effect is achieved by applying the rooster embellishments in Etched Glass on a glass kitchen door or cabinet front. Another idea is to use the Welcome Rooster in the black square Frameworks, as shown here. This is another idea of a great piece for your own home or for a sweet gift. The red vinyl picks up the tones in the cabinetry without being a perfect match.
For something completely different, try our brand new Barnyard pack, part of the Erasables line. Also available in dry erase vinyl, this set lends true country charm and whimsy to a kitchen. But it's just as cute in a child's farm themed bedroom, playroom, or even a classroom.
I have to admit that even I've been surprised at the versatility of roosters in decorating. With a few accessories and a vinyl piece or two you can play with this fun trend without making any permanent changes or major investments. Sure, you could buy a $400 ceramic rooster, but you can spend much less on Uppercase Living roosters and have a lot left over to decorate the rest of your home too!

Late July Newsletter - All Kinds Of Updates!
I know you've all been waiting for all the latest updates from Uppercase Living. Our convention was earlier this month in St. Louis and it was an extravaganza with one exciting announcement after another! The new catalog has been live for about a week and everyone who has seen it has one thing to say: WOW!!! The new Hostess Center on my website is an invaluable tool for hostesses to send invitations, track RSVPs and watch their rewards add up. I have so much great news to share with you all so I'll jump right in!
New Catalog, New Products, New Accessories, New Colors and MORE!
There is so much to love about this great new catalog! If you haven't had a chance to see it yet, you can flip through it right on my website. Of course, there are plenty of new expressions for a variety of spaces and tons of new designs. If you know someone who loves Peace Signs (my daughter is currently obsessed) you will love all the different options incorporating them. There are also new products that you will love:

There is so much to love about this great new catalog! If you haven't had a chance to see it yet, you can flip through it right on my website. Of course, there are plenty of new expressions for a variety of spaces and tons of new designs. If you know someone who loves Peace Signs (my daughter is currently obsessed) you will love all the different options incorporating them. There are also new products that you will love:
- Not only are the very popular Chalk Walls back with lots of new designs, but they have a new name: Erasables. That's because now they're available in your choice of chalkboard or dry erase vinyl!!! Both dry erase and chalkboard pens are available to complete the package.
- A gorgeous new Double Frameworks is just one of the great new additions to our Foundations accessories. Frameworks now comes in chocolate brown and our Punched Metal and Vintage Metal Embossed Boards come in gorgeous new colors. We have a beautiful new Frameworks Photo Frame with plenty of room for you to embellish it with UL expressions. For those of you who love to hang our Foundations boards, frames and tiles on the wall, we have two new medallions, including a beautiful Fleur de Lis. Finally, our brand new Shimmer Effects lets you add a little glimmer to any off the wall project quickly and easily.
- New Grande Format and Decorative Print designs give you more decorative options than ever before. I love the 2-part choices and chandeliers in Grande Format and my favorite Decorative Prints are all the interactive choices for children's decor (check out Transportation Central, available in 3 colorways!).
- New clocks! Our clocks have been so popular that we've added 3 new designs. I'm having a hard time deciding which to get for my family room!
- New colors! Our brand new colors are very decorator friendly. You purple people are going to love Concord Grape. I personally think Wild Raspberry and Stone Cottage are both beautiful. And if you've been looking for a true blue, I think our Royal Blue will work nicely for you. We also have more Shimmer colors than ever before. I can't wait to use some of that Shimmer Orange for Halloween!
Of course, you can always view the catalog on my website. But you can get your own FREE copy in your hostess kit simply by contacting me to schedule your own party date. You'll be among the first to see all of the great new stuff and your friends will love having a girls' night out to see what's new and socialize while you earn FREE and HALF PRICE products.
Online Hostess Center Makes Hosting Parties Easier and More Rewarding Than Ever
You asked for it and now it's here: the new Hostess Center on my website gives hostesses a portal to invite their guests, track RSVPs and send reminders, and watch as online orders earn them more hostess rewards than ever before! The most exciting part is that your guests no longer need to live nearby to have their orders count toward your party total. Using the Hostess Center you can now invite guests to your party from anywhere in the U.S. or Canada. They can associate their orders to your party right on my website and have their products shipped directly to them. Meanwhile, you get credit for their orders just as if they were at your home party! There is no longer any sort of geographic limit on who you can invite to your Uppercase Living party. With so much to choose from in our new catalog, your guests are sure to find something that they'll love and you'll love checking off your Wish List as you earn FREE and HALF PRICE items.
I'm currently forming a Focus Group of hostesses who would like to have a party in July or August and use my Hostess Center. I'd love to get your opinions on how you enjoyed using the Hostess Center. If you would like to take part in this Focus Group and earn some bonus products for participating, please contact me to reserve a party date asap.
New Facebook Page
In order to reach more people and serve everyone better, I've created a new Facebook page. Come join me at http://www.facebook.com/ ultorreh for ideas, updates, photos and more. Among other things, I've posted the hostess and customer FREE monthly rewards for July, August and September. If you're planning on hosting a party, take a look and see which month's freebies you like best. It might just help you pick a date!
Complimentary Design Consultations
With an eye toward improving my service to my wonderful customers, I am now providing complimentary design consultations. You can make an appointment to have me come to your home to provide ideas and guidance for some unique ways to decorate using our products. You can also just send me a photo of your space and let me suggest some ways to transform it with Uppercase Living. Simply call or email me to find out more.
Aloha!!!!!!I will be spending some time in Honolulu in August and will have limited time to talk to people about joining my team or placing orders. If you'd like to get together while I'm there, please contact me ASAP so I can fit you into my calendar.
Looking Ahead
Not surprisingly, there will be lots of great ideas and products still to come from UL as we get closer to the fall and (gulp) winter holidays. I'm not going to give away all my secrets, but I promise that you will LOVE them. I will be holding my annual Open House at my home in September and its not too early to start planning your fall parties. If this year is anything like last year, my calendar will start filling up early and I would hate to see anyone miss out on sharing our great products with their family and friends and earning tons for free. I've come back from Convention with tons of new ideas that I plan to put in place in the coming months. Look for more updates to come in the next few issues.
I hope you all enjoy browsing my new catalog either online or in person. I'd love to hear from you and find out your favorite new expressions, colors and products. Looking forward to hearing from you!

Great News For Hostesses....Get More FREE Rewards Than Ever Before
Whenever Uppercase Living makes a BIG announcement, as they did last week at Convention, it takes me a little while to post about it. I love telling you all about new colors and new products, but when something comes up that completely changes the way we do business and interact with our customers and hostesses, I have to wrap my mind around it for a few days before I can coherently share my thoughts with you. Now that I've sufficiently mulled it over for over a week, I'm happy to some announce new changes that will help our hostesses earn more rewards than ever before by.
Until now, complete party orders have gone to the hostess, who delivered them to her guests. Unfortunately, only guests who were local could have their purchases count toward the hostess's party total and determine the amount of FREE and half price she earns. With the new Hostess Center on my website, my hostesses can invite both local and out of town guests using the electronic invitations provided. Guests can RSVP, then shop online if they can't make it to the party. As long as they associate their order with their friend's party, the hostess gets credit toward her own UL shopping spree!
As a hostess, you will get your own personalized password to the Hostess Center, where you can send invitations and reminders, track RSVPs and check to see who has already placed an order. Best of all, you can track the guests' orders and watch your rewards add up. You no longer have to wait until your party to find out how much you'll earn in free hostess rewards. As soon as you send your electronic invitation, your friends can place their orders and help you get FREE products.
I'd like to get some feedback on how my hostesses like the now Hostess Center and online Hostess Tools. I thought the best way to do this was to create an informal Focus Group with 2-4 hostesses who can have parties in July or August, include some out of town guests as well as local ones to their parties, then share their thoughts on the experience with me. To thank you for helping with the Focus Group, you will receive additional hostess rewards and some bonus products.
Whether you decide to join my Focus Group or just want to have a party and finally include your family and friends who don't live nearby, there are a lot of great products from Uppercase Living that you will love sharing. Our new catalog is one of our best yet and the Hostess Tools will help you earn more rewards than were ever possible. It doesn't matter if you have just one room to decorate or your whole house. Schedule a fun night with your friends and let me help you make the most of all the FREE rewards that are yours for being one of my wonderful hostesses.

Comings and Goings...New Catalog Is Almost Here!
I'm just back from a wonderful and exciting Convention in St. Louis and, honestly, I'm having a hard time coming down from my excitement.

Summer Splash: 5 Hours To Go And One Last Photo
Here it is: the last Photo A Day (although it's been more like 2 a day) of Summer Splash. It's the final day of the big promotion and we demonstrators are madly trying to enter those last minute orders and help all of our new team members get signed in before tonight's deadline. Although it's available for just a few more day, you can still get this expression and Buy One, Get One FREE if you act within the next few hours.
I love thinking of the everyday miracles that we are surrounded by. Looking at my kids running around is enough to remind me each day. Sometimes the miracle is the traffic light that stays green when you're running late for preschool pickup, and sometimes it's the doctor that catches unseen problems and acts quickly to prevent their devastating consequences. I've been on the receiving end of both of those types of miracles and many more.
This sweet, soothing photo is a stark contrast to all of the activity going on in with UL right now. Not only are we ending Summer Splash, but tomorrow is our annual convention where our latest catalog and all of the new products it contains will be announced. In 13 hours, I'll be flying off to St. Louis to meet up with friends and pretty much marinate in all things UL for four days. I will definitely need a miracle or two to get myself and all my stuff on that plane before it takes off. Instead of thinking of the 3 to-do lists standing before me and Convention, I'll just think calming thoughts of miracles. I believe.

Well, here we are, the last day of Summer Splash. The Buy One, Get One FREE promotion, 20% off all accessories and FREE Starter Kit special will be gone tonight. If you still haven't taken advantage of all that Summer Splash offers, you may be tempted by this expression, the penultimate Photo of The Day this go round (I'm trying to improve my vocabulary. How is it working?). As a mommy to two boys, I can definitely relate to this photo. We spend a lot of days digging in dirt, playing with cars and always end with hugs for Mom. What a great gift for a household full of boys! This, too, will be retired soon so if you love it, snatch it up.
The deadline for all of the great Summer Splash deals is tonight at 11:00 p.m. Pacific Time. I'll be available by email and cell phone to help with orders today, so don't hesitate to call me if you have any questions.

Photo A Day #10 - The Perfect Gift. and Getting Down To The Wire
Isn't it wonderful when you find the perfect gift? Something personal, reasonably priced and unique? And isn't it even more wonderful when you find a perfect gift that is perfect for so many people? I think this expression fits that description beautifully. Already inexpensive, it's even more so as part of our Buy One, Get One FREE Summer Splash promotion. It can be easily personalized for each recipient and is versatile enough for so many different people: from the newlyweds who are setting up their first home to the recent college graduate moving out for the first time to a couple celebrating an anniversary and more.
My suggestion is to buy several of these expressions in a few neutral colors: Chocolate Brown, Whipped Creme, Warm Stone, Matte Black, etc. Order in even numbers because they are Buy One, Get One FREE! Pick up some Foundations MDF Boards and Toolbox Paint or Punched Metal Tiles, because they are 20% OFF. In fact, get some coordinating Trimmings Ribbon, too. If you already know who you'd like to give them to, custom design the dates to add to each expression. But if you don't, just put them away and wait until you need a perfect gift. At that point, you can order the numbers to make your gift a one-of-a-kind keepsake that will be treasured.
The expression in this design isn't available on my website, so call or email me to order it. But don't wait too long because Buy One, Get One FREE ends tomorrow night and the expression itself will be retired July 19. You'll save so much money that you'll definitely want to pick one up for yourself too!

Photo A Day #9
Another day, another photo of one of our soon-to-be retired expressions. This one is lovely for an entry, family room, living room or anywhere your family gathers. It would also look terrific with a grouping of family photos spanning several generations. This classic expression will be retired very soon, but is available now as party of our Buy One, Get One FREE Summer Splash promotion. Don't forget, Summer Splash ends tomorrow night...don't wait to get your great deal on this and so many other expression.

Photo A Day #8...Counting Down to End of Summer Splash
And now, for something completely different...
Isn't this piece gorgeous?!
I love this combination of colors, textures and fonts. This two-part expression is pictured here on a square Foundations MDF board which has been dry brushed with some paint. As it is, it's a lovely table top item, especially since the board is 20% off right now. But wouldn't it be dramatic in a larger size for the wall of a master bedroom? Lucky you, you can get both because they're Buy One, Get One FREE! But sadly, this is also one of our retiring expressions and it won't be available much longer. You can get it until July 19, but this is the last weekend for Summer Splash and the Buy One, Get One FREE sale. The great deals will end Monday night, so don't miss out!

I am told there are certain people out there who, though they may be skilled in many areas, could not find a hamper if it was on fire and dancing. I'm also told that, when introducing a new concept to someone who may be unfamiliar with it, it is best to use clear and concise instructions. So one could say that the expression seen here is an educational tool as well as a charming piece of decor.
I do love this expression and am sad that it's being retired later this month. Its narrow size makes it well suited to often-small laundry spaces. The great thing is the orientation of the finger can be changed to have it point in whichever direction you'd like.
Although it's being retired, you can still get this expression as part of our Buy One, Get One FREE Summer Splash special, but only for a couple more days. After you get it on your wall, you might find that certain people may continue to miss the hamper as they take their daily "Underwear Basketball" practice, but they'll never again be able to say that you didn't tell them where to drop their drawers.

Photo A Day #6
Who among us doesn't know the a little girl whose room this expression would be perfect in? Whether it's to add to a grouping of girly girl photos on a wall or decorate a nursery or child's room, the scalloped edges of this expression make it extra sweet. Here, it's been adorned with some of our Dress Ups Gems for some extra sparkle. After all, Princesses must have bling. It would also be pretty with Mini Blooms. Since the Mini Blooms come in 3 colors, you'll be sure to find one that complements the color of your expression. And since all of our accessories are 20% off for just a few more days, you'll even save some money on the Blooms or Gems. Make sure to pick out an extra expression if you're buying this one because all of our expressions are Buy One, Get One FREE! So who's the lucky little Princess in your life who's going to be getting this expression?

Photo A Day #5 - Another Favorite
This saying has always been a favorite of mine. In fact, when my husband and I got married, we gave a framed hand painted version of it to my parents as a gift. I love the idea of the family of an ever-growing circle of strength and love. I find this design particularly beautiful and think it would be a timeless piece of decor, especially in the home of parents with grown children and/or grandchildren. It would also be a lovely gift for a child who is getting married. Sadly, this special expression is also being retired. However, you still have a few days to purchase it. Using our Buy One, Get One FREE promotion, you will also get to choose another expression for FREE! Whether for your own home, as a gift, or even in a church or synagogue, the message of this beautiful expression is one that will resonate for many years to come.

Photo A Day - #4
I am just so sad that this beautiful growth chart is being retired. This show stopper has long been a favorite with my customers and party guests. Invariably I hear gasps and lots of exclamations when they see this photo in a catalog.
What you can't see in this photo is the word "bloom" hidden behind the adorable model. What a sweet sentiment on a growth chart. We moms love seeing our babies bloom into big kids and are always incredulous at how quickly it happens.
Now that this growth chart is on our Retired List, it's your last chance to get it before it's gone. Although it's already priced very reasonably, it's even a better deal now with Buy One, Get One FREE. So if you're picking one up for yourself, you can add one as a gift for free. Whether for you, or as a gift, this is one decorative piece that will be enjoyed for many years to come.

Axicom Computer Club
Christa is an old friend, fellow Cub Scout and school mom, and co-owner of AXICOM, a local computer support and service company. Knowing that it wouldn't be easy to keep her two active sons busy this summer, she came up with the brilliant idea of using her company's facilities and expertise and starting a kids' Computer Camp.
To dress up her white walls, Christa ordered custom Uppercase Living lettering in the fun Kid Print font using different bright colors. The look is perfect for the newly created classroom. When the space is needed for a different use, the lettering will easily come off, allowing AXICOM to revamp the classroom all over again.
You can visit AXICOM online or on Facebook. There may still be space available for this summer's Computer Camp sessions. Off to pick up my little camper from his first day now!

Photo A Day #3 - Playing Catch Up!
Were you wondering what happened to all those photos I promised you?
I went away for a few days and my best-laid plans of posting ahead of time went awry. I'll make it up to you, though, with tons of pictures and ideas in the next few days. You see, so many of our gorgeous expressions are being retired that I just have to share the photos with you...and warn you of an impending deadlines if you've been planning on getting a couple.
Those of you with kids will be able to relate to this expression:
I can't count how many times a day I have to tell my kids to WASH THEIR HANDS. Is it so hard to remember? Is their schedule so full that they don't have the 30 seconds it takes to just wash up? What can possibly be so urgent that it just can't wait? Maybe it's just my kids who need the constant reminder. Do me a favor and reassure me that it's not (even if that isn't entirely true).
If you're tired of telling your kids to wash their hands, too, pick up this cute expression in a color that coordinates with your bathroom. When you do, pick out something else too, because it's Buy One, Get One FREE! But do it quickly because this, and all the other expressions on our Retired List will not be available for much longer.

Photo A Day - Day 2
Here's a no-brainer gift (my favorite kind) for a wedding shower or housewarming party. This is another expression you won't find on my website, so I need to hear from you directly if you'd like to order it. When you do, make sure you pick up a little something for yourself. Can't let Buy One, Get One FREE go to waste now, can we?
A Little Summer Treat from Me!
As you know, the Uppercase Living retired list has been released and it contains some really popular expressions that my customers have loved. I would be really sad that these great items are going away, but I know that our designers have been hard at work to produce some beautiful new expressions that you'll all be able to see in a few short weeks.
I know how you all love photos of our expressions, so for the next 12 days, you can visit me and feast your eyes on a new one each day. Of course, the 12th day, i.e. July 12th, is the last day to get these expressions as part of our Buy One Get One FREE promotion, but you can still order them until the 19th. After that, they're gone for good!
Here's today's photo (actually yesterday's since I haven't been to bed yet and am pretending it's still the 1st):
I love the message this expression conveys. We can all use a little confidence when chasing our dreams. I particularly love this for a teenager or college student's room. This stealthy expression cannot be viewed on my website, so if you'd like to order it, just shoot me an email or leave a comment here. Don't forget to pick something else to fulfill your Buy One Get One Free benefit. And come back tomorrow (or even later today) to see what else is going away.
