Hello . . .my name is Bernadette Quiroga.  I’ve been with Cookie Lee since June 2003.  I first became a Hostess to help my friend who was new with the company. I enjoyed the Cookie Lee catalog and shared with others how beautiful and affordable the jewelry is. I wore it every day and found myself getting many compliments.   I was having so much fun wearing and sharing about the jewelry that when it was time for my Show I felt at ease helping my Consultant, despite the number of guests.  I had 45 guests come to my $2,000 Home Show (including my outside orders)! That night  I told my Consultant that I’d like to sign-up with Cookie Lee!  The the next morning I became her first Recruit.   This decision became an answer to my prayers.  I didn’t want to continue teaching during the summer because  I desired to spend more time with my two boys (now 20 and 14).   I planned to sell the jewelry in the summer and teach during the school year.  I continued  working my Cookie Lee business, even while teaching. Recruiting came naturally as a result.  Within six months I met my goal and became a Unit Manager II, while teaching full time.  I also earned each Dream-Get-Away Trip since I've been with Cookie Lee...to Cancun, Alaska, Bahamas, Arizona, Hawaii, Punta Cana and Europe. The next trip fpr 2012 is at a luxurious ocean-front resort in Gran Melia Puerto Rico.   After 18 years of teaching, I am happy to say I was a "stay-at-home-mom" for my two boys since 2004-2010, when I worked my Cookie Lee business full time and around my family's schedule.  I was also able to substitute teach part time because Cookie Lee afforded me the choice.      Currently , I am a Senior Team Manager with  Cookie Lee and a National Trainer for Cookie University. And now that my older son is a Junior in college on a football scholarship and my youngest is a Freshman in High School, I am back to teaching full time.  I work at a beautiful Christian School where I can also serve God, other children and their families.    Is your family top priority?  Would you like to set your own hours so you can spend more time with your family, as I am able to do with my loving husband  of 24 years and two wonderful sons? If so, being a Cookie Lee Consultant is just what you are looking for!  Call me today and let’s talk about starting your own business or hosting a jewelry show at home or work. (You can earn lots of free jewelry! )  I also do fundraisers for your cause or organization. Please call  or e-mail me today for more information: (909) 618-6715 or QueenBea87@aol.com.  I look forward to hearing from you . . .
