Spring has arrived with a flurry of activity!

Wow, May 1st. Summer's around the corner and there's so much to do to get ready for it. It's the last push at school for the kids; extra-curricular activities have sprouted all over the calendar; the house, lawn and garden all look like they need a good shake & a brisk cleaning. Inside work, outside work, laundry on the clothesline (mmmmm, smells so good), and the hours on tech support trying to get the highspeed connection to the internet. **sigh** That was a tough one, but as of this morning, it seems to be working!!! YAY! enough of that dial-up!

With the weather turning milder, our thoughts turn to projects and home improvements. We inspect our homes to see what didn't survive the winter, and start drafting our 'to do' list. (or for some, a 'honey do' list!)

When considering materials and supplies, don't forget to review your tools. See if any are missing, or in need of replacement. Maybe it's time to invest in some new hand tools, or a power tool to get the job done.

Tomboy Tools has had a busy winter. The green catalogue has been replaced by a blue version that includes information for customers, hostesses, and potential consultants. Most of the information in the green catalogue is still valid - please check with your Home Consultant for updates.


After much research and testing, there are new tools and combination kits available.
The PINK BODY POCKET now comes in 2 varieties, one with the Torpedo Level, the other with the Ratcheting Screwdriver. Our line-up now includes a SPEED SQUARE, a FOLDING SAW, a PINK GARDEN BUCKET, a CSA-approved PINK HARDHAT, and la piece de resistance..... an 8v PINK LITHIUM-ION IMPACT DRIVER! This is the first pink power tool around, ever!

Our line-up of tools just keeps getting better and better. You've got to try them, to get the full impact of their ergonomic design, superior quality, and the simple fact that they've been designed with WOMEN in mind. Working with a good tool makes it easier on our body, and when we're not distracted by trying to handle an over-sized, over-powered, or over-weighted tool, we can have a lot of fun!

Please refer to my calendar (web.295.ca/events) and call me to book a time for YOUR tool party, and let's get you off to a great start. It's a fun way to learn about using tools safely, compare stories, pick up tips and tricks, and visit with other interesting women in a relaxed, low-pressure environment.

Turn the place you LIVE into the place you LOVE!
