It's Monday Morning again ....did you have a good week-end? I hope everyone got their batteries charged for the week. Many of us worked over the week-end, and many enjoyed time with Family and Friends.....but whatever we did, the week-end is over and time to move on with a new week :)
***Today I want to give the gifts of Appreciation and Recognition***
How many times have we run across someone that has really touched us in some way, or someone that has really made our life a little better by their attitude, but we never really tell them how much they mean to us. So today I want to publicly thank someone I have been working with for over 4 years now, someone that has always been supportive of my Business.

Joe Jefferies from Sign of the Times in Florida. I found Joe about 4 years ago when I wanted a magnetic sign for my car. Everyone in town was too expensive, and limited the color they would do, so I went to the Internet and found Joe.
That first year there was a big Hurricane in Florida and Joe couldn't work for a few days, which of course was a great story for me..... as we don't have Hurricanes in California :)
Anyway, Joe designed my car signs, and sent a proof quite quickly via e-mail....another plus for me that we could communicate back and forth with e-mail.
Over the past 4 years Joe has made all my Real Estate Signs, my Business Cards, and my Office Stationary. I think what I like best about Joe is that his Customer Service is top notch......he stands behind his products, and has always treated all of us with nothing but the utmost respect, and he mails the product out fairly quickly....he can even do RUSH jobs. I have recommended him to several people, and even Agents that used him at my first Brokerage are again using him with their new one.
So.....I want to say Thank You to Joe Jeffries of Sign of the Times for the great customer service, and quality Products that have kept me coming back time and time again.......thanks Joe. And if any of you need Real Estate Signs, Banners, Car Signs, or anything similar....go ahead and give him a call....... I don't think you'll be disappointed!!!
Joes email is joe@signsfla.com and his Phone Number is 866-558-3649. Go ahead and let him know that you saw his name on a Blog :)
OK, now to 2 more Monday Gifts.....I thought since today was Appreciation and Recognition day that I would give you 2 Active Rain Members that I think most of us would agree are very much Appreciated:
Gift #1 marti garaughty who runs the Art of Marketing You Group . If you haven't been to this group....then you are really missing something. And if you haven't seen marti's Abstract Art, again you are missing out. Every week marti does a Group Week in Review, and for the past 2 weeks he has been telling everyone how to use the new Blog Customizer Brad made. This week marti also made several headers that you can use.....they're already sized right and everything :) :)
Gift# 2 Neal Bloom runs the Week in Review Group. Every week for over a year Neal either finds a volunteer to go through the hundreds, sometimes thousands of Posts that have been Posted during the Week. If no one volunteers then Neal does it himself. Besides this Neal started Groups for top Point getters (and just this past week he now has a group of 1.....for the all time top Blogger on Active Rain.....Lenn Harley :)
To both Neal and marti I would like to personally say thanks for everything you do for us,
and I am sure that most of us feel the same way....
THANK YOU!!!!!

Good Monday morning Kathy - Joe I'm not familiar with, but Marti and Neal are both awesome!
Marti's art is just fabulous! One of these days I'll be able to afford some of it, but I love the way it moves and how it's just perfect.
Neal...I just don't know how he finds the time to do all things he does! And, on top of all he does, he finds the time to be a husband and father. Keeping up with the week in review would be job enough. One of these days I'm going to find the courage to do one for him.
I'll have to check Joe out! I love finding creative people.
This is the most wonderful post! Have a wonderful week Kathy!
