You are worth every penny you charge. Every single person I talked to afterward said the same thing.  You give so much pertinent information and we are desperate for it.  I was in marketing for  years and you two are definitely on the pulse of the industry.  The information we needed was exactly what you were out gathering. Your classes and books answered so many of my questions.  I was profoundly grateful for your enthusiasm, your ability to know what is important in this burgeoning industry and your ability to communicate that to us. 

"And Michael, we obviously need to hear more from  you.  We're glad you are joining Sue as one of our teachers. You make a great team and both  have information we just have to get at!

"Great great great seminars! I was not sure what to expect but I would highly recommend Scrapbook Business University to all retailers, consultants, and anyone connected to scrapbook businesses.

If you have the chance I can't recommend Sue's seminar more highly. She is fabulous."  - Debbie, Time Passages
