A Life Well Crafted

Kolette Hall

(Kolette) Who is ready for a year of crafternoons? This is Kolette Hall (and I'm Jason Hall) and we want you to join us for "A Life Well Crafted" in 2009. We are really excited about this new opportunity and have been planning and looking forward to it for months.

So, what will you get if you decide to join us? Here are just a few of the things we have in store for you: we will share lessons that we have learned about various life principles through interactive audio files and slide presentations, we have meaningful projects and layouts that relate to each principle that you'll get color instructions for. As always, you'll get lots of exclusive downloads designed by me especially for you. We'll offer live chats each month and a whole list of other exciting things. That's why Kayce created the chart on the workshop registration page - so we can all see exactly what fabulous things will be offered every week during the year.

Now, this workshop is different than any other Big Picture Scrapbooking experience that you have ever had. First of all, Jason will be joining me all along the way during the audio messages, the message board and the monthly chats. (Jason: Which, that can only be good for everyone!) Exactly.

Second of all, for those of you who have taken "The Art of Choosing Joy" or "The Art of Becoming More," you know that the audio portion of our workshops are the foundation for the whole experience (Jason: And include my winning sense of humor!). That, too! This year-long workshop will be no different except for one thing - for the first time, BPS is offering an Audio-Only version of this workshop! We know that a lot of you want to share your experience with others that may not be as into scrapbooking as you are - this Audio-Only version is for them! It could be your mom or your friend, your spouse or your child. Whoever you think would be enriched by listening to the monthly audios, receiving the downloadable quotes and participating in the message board is welcome to be a part of this experience (Jason: A husband would be a perfect choice. Not a big scrapbooker myself!) So take a look at all the great stuff that the "Audio-Only" people will get each week throughout the year and then spread the word! Everyone is welcome.

(Jason) Everyone. And we want everyone to have the opportunity to be a part of this class and not have to miss out because of the price. We're feeling the pinch at the pump like everyone else. Last week it cost me $90…$90 to fill up my handicap-accessible van. It makes me sick just to say it! We wanted this to be an experience that everyone could both have and afford so, here's the deal. The price of the year long class is less than two tanks of gas in my van. Now, later you're going to have the option to do a month-to-month pay plan. That's going to cost you 20% more. In times like these everyone's looking for ways to save some money and if you sign up for the year long class, you save 20% right off the bat. We feel like this is not only a good deal for you but a good deal for your life.

(Kolette) Now, some of you may be wondering if you can commit to a whole year. I want you to know that we have thought long and hard about the structure of this workshop and have designed it so that you will have plenty of inspiration each week of the year but at the same time, there is time to get things done or take a breather, too. I don't like feeling behind all of the time so we planned for you to have some wiggle room along the way with some less-intense weeks each month. This will allow you to work at your own pace better but still have something new to look forward to receiving every single week of the year.

(Jason) Now you may be wondering why I'm involved in the workshop at all. Other than my winning sense of humor, we're both teachers. Kolette's the designer and scrapbooker and has the masters degree in education and I'm a professional speaker and corporate trainer.

At fifteen years old I was in a diving accident causing me to become a quadriplegic, paralyzed from the chest down. Kolette and I met at Brigham Young University, I was the student body president of the nation's largest private university. And afterwards I went to work at an insurance and investment firm. On my way to see a client my front-left tire blew and sent me across all the lanes of traffic and put me in the hospital for 13 months. We've had over 10 years of in and out of hospitals and over 30 surgeries.

Since then I have become a motivational speaker for corporations and groups around the world. Through the years, Kolette and I have learned a lot about life and being happy in spite of our circumstances. We've also learned that we are good as individuals but we are even better as a team. That's why we've decided to approach this year long workshop together - we'll give you both of our perspectives as we talk about the things we have learned and experienced in our lives. Then Kolette will handle the crafty stuff - she's a crafty one, that Kolette!

(Kolette) That's right. We have had great reviews when we approach Big Picture as a team so we thought, why not do it for a whole year! This is a primary reason why the Audio-Only version of this workshop will be a great thing for anyone in your life to be a part of - you'll be getting both the masculine (Jason: That's me!) and the feminine (Jason: That's her!) perspective of each message so it will be more universal to those who are important to you. And let's face it, Jason does this for a living - what could be more expert than that?

(Jason) So, join us.

(Kolette) Share 2009 with us as we motivate and learn from each other while we create "A Life Well Crafted." It's the ultimate crafting project - YOU! Take a look at the chart that Kayce has created for you outlining what you get in both the Full Version and the Audio-Only Version and decide which is right for you.

(Together) We can't wait to see you in class!
