A Complete Transformation
I've not been around much this weekend I have been very busy with family and today I embarked on a transformation with a dynamic team of 3 other ladies, the end result blew me away and I was so honoured to be part of it.
Santa came early
My daughters school held their annual Christmas Fair a community event and one of their fundraisers. As chairperson I had ran this event the last 2 years.
However this year I was asked to help create the Santa's Grotto Experience. I was thrilled as these ladies are so very talented and I was only too happy to get involved.
Team Effort
We started from early at 9am so that we could be ready for when Santa arrived at 2.30pm - there were times throughout when I thought we wouldn't make it, but we kept at it and the end result was nothing short of amazing. A real show stopper and it completely wowed the children and a good few adults too.
Below are some photos of the sequence of events that transformed a Montessorri school room in the parish centre into Santa's Grotto within 5 hours and after a 3 hour marathon run entertaining and delighting all the children it was dismantled within 50mins!
This whole experience got me thinking of how I have transformed my own life since joining WA a little over 3 months ago.
I had an ambition to create a website and blog about a niche I am passionate about. I joined Wealthy Affiliate Team and with all the training, help, support and encouragement I have the makings of a great website and although the end result is far from sight, I know it will bring it's own Wow Factor for my audience.
I guess the TEAM effort that is so readily available to one and all here at WA really is the catalyst for success and we should all embrace that unwavering support from our fellow WA family.
I am going to bed tonight one lucky lady who got to sit with Santa today and make a wish for MY future!

From a bare space to a wonderland! What a transformation! you could make it all if you have a team! it is like ...I entered a worm in a WA University for online business and will come out as a butterfly. The transformation is ongoing. I can't wait to be a butterfly of online business! How about you?
Well, your family and community are soooo important to your well-being. I laughed at the pics. I played Santa many times, once in an orphanage. I will never forget it. Some of the younger are frightened by Santa and one pissed on me, the older kids don't believe and pull my beard and there is a group that loved me. Playing Santa at private parties is the best. Big tips. Anyway, you made an impression on so many kids and there is nothing as wonderful than that. Dr. Jeffrey
Ahh that must have been pretty special Jeffrey, I'm sure the good ones far outweighed the bad, and I bet you were privy to a lot of secrets ;-)

That is awesome Jules! Y'all did a fantastic job. For some strange reason, it's always quicker to dismantle than to put it up. Yes team work is very important in any project no matter how big or small. We are a team here. Each of us uses their talent of knowledge to help another member. Let us all remember to remain a member of the team. While, I am not very far into the training so as to advise someone instructions on how to do something, I am a good encourager and that is an important role to play too.
Have a blessed time

I hear you sister - I'm the very same, not a techie in any way, but learning loads from the training and more than happy to help a member out - or learn with them along the way ;-)
