Dear Michele,
Thank you from the bottom of my heart!!! I know that she will be so touched through your kindness and so will her children!  I read your email to a friend and she too, had goosebumps! 
I have only been with your company for less than two months but from reading all your testimonials and about what you represent, I know that there is no other company like yours! 
Your talent is a God given gift.  I told my friend that I had emailed you regarding the party and what we hoped to do for her and she said, "God is going to bless this!!" 
I truly believe that there is a reason for everything and God is in control!
Thank you so much for personalizing these gifts!

Michele & family, Rita and MB Staf ~(Elves) Merry Christmas!
Thank you for making this business fun.

This season, I am wearing my B.F.F.’s picture in the “If we had never met, I would have wished you into being,” after loosing her on November 4th. The necklace is so darn special to me! I have been selling MB jewelry for about 4 years now and have been blessed by the ministry to women that it encourages.
One request I have this Christmas (other than good health & world peace) is for Michele to create a piece that symbols B.F.F……….. Something only we girls have. We look for it young---treasure it always and it empowers us in ways that nothing else can!!
God Bless.
With Love,

I just wanted to tell you how excited I am about being part of your company!! I also want to tell you how lucky I am to have been connected with such a WONDERFUL upline!! My recruiter is Kim Bosak and I am very blessed to have her encouragement and support! I know that not everyone is as fortunate as myself but I do think of how it has opened my mind and heart to be the BEST upline I can for my future team.
She has gone the "extra mile" to provide me with daily support and I just wanted you to know that your "PA. GIRLS ARE GOING FOR THE TOP!!! I can't thank you enough for making the connection! :)

“Hi Rita,
I just wanted to send you a note! I know you are extremely busy and you took the time to help me, as you do every time. In the world where there is so many tragedy’s happening I don’t think people take the time to say Thank you enough.

You are a complete asset to MB and us girls, you help more than you know and always do it happily!! I just wanted you to know that you are appreciated!! And one of these days I will meet you in person and be able to do so then as well.

Please pass this along to Michele I am positive she knows you are invaluable but I want her to know I (we) appreciate you and all you do for us!! My Michele Baratta experience has been nothing but positive. I hope to be selling her awesome jewelry for a long, long time.

Thanks for all you do!

“Hi Rita,
I just had to stop what I was doing to send you a quick note!! I just received my first order (MINE), and all I can say is OH MY GOD!!
I love everything I couldn’t wait to open everything!! I wanted to tell you what stood out to me the most, THE ABSOLUTE BEST PACKAGING EVER! It was fabulous with the tissue paper, cute bag and ties and you took the guess work out by having the customer invoices already in there for easy delivery! I think all my friends will flip when they see it, when they see the packaging they will be in for an even better surprise when they see their awesome jewelry they purchased. Michele thought of everything with making the packing so special. So thank her for that. I am going to personally hand write a thank you and stick it in each bag!!

Thank you again for everything!!! I LOVE MICHELE BARATTA!!!

Have a wonderful day!!

“Hi Nancy,
I really enjoyed speaking with you this afternoon! You gave me alot of really great info that I hadn't thought of yet. While driving to confirmation class with my son, (the 12 yr. old) I was thinking about the goal question you had asked me. It didn't take me very long to come up with an answer; I don't think it's about the amount of income I would like to generate monthly('cause that will come) my goal is a little bit bigger- 10 personally sponsored within 6 months, and another 10 within 6 months after that. If I learned anything from those days of trying different types of network marketing it's, width= income depth = security which also increases income!
I hope that answers your question.
Talk with you soon!

This is Emily Jillette (Penn Jillette's wife). It was nice to meet you at the Country Music Awards gift lounge. I'm looking forward to putting the pictures of my two babies in the necklace and giving it to my mother. She will love it.

I WISH that I would have gotten a Michele Baratta ANYTHING for a shower gift! But she wasn't doing jewelry then (16 years ago). I ended up buying myself some of her jewelry. I have since gotten to know their family and they are genuinely loving people with their hearts in the right place. (Andy, her husband is fun and warm, and her two children are very sweet. My son thinks that her daughter Lily is the nicest girl he knows.) Their personality comes across in Michele's jewelry. Her line of jewelry is beautiful and just looks beautiful on everyone and very unique! Love it! love it! Michele is as beautiful inside as she is outside and it would really make someone feel special to receive any of her pieces as a shower gift. Sometimes Mom gets overlooked in the baby shower process. This idea might even bring tears to Mom's eyes! ...

Dear Melani,
I have had the thought so many times to let you know how much my two children love the Michele Baratta necklaces. They have worn them every day, day and night, in the shower and pool, since I put them around their necks. The only time they come off is for Karate if the Sensei sees it on them. I think Michele should advertise them as necklaces a mother can give her child. They are so well crafted and such a simple design. My daughter has broken so many necklaces prior to this one and my son usually complains about how necklaces feel on him.
Hope all is going well with you. Perhaps I might see you at another party someday/night soon.

Take care,
~Karen, NY

Thank you so much for the beautiful necklace you sent me! I would like to thank Michele too. I just love the necklace! I can't wait to find just the right photos of my kids to put in it. I really love the designs in the catalogue too. Michele is so talented and unique. Please let her know I received her thoughtful gift and how much it meant to me. I will think of your thoughtfulness every time I wear the special necklace.

I am having so much fun sharing this jewelry with everyone. It’s so easy to sell because everyone flips out over it, and I have met so many incredible women and made so many new friends doing this that I never would have met otherwise.

Thank you, thank you!

Just wanted to drop you a brief note and let you know how much my daughter and I love our products that I purchased from you.
 
I purchased my daughter the "tokens" necklace and she said that everyone notices!  Was a little unsure if she would like the necklace for her birthday and I definitely made the right choice.  Grandma here got a pendant and I have had more compliments or "Who is around your neck?"
 
 Thanks again for a wonderful product.
 Sincerely,
 ~Connie

Thank you for everything this year. As all roles that we play in our life, it is typically a thankless one but I truly want to thank you both for the support that you have given me and my consultants this year. The extra money that I've made in the small investment in time has been such a big help. Glad to be a part of the MB family. Wishing you and yours a wonderful holiday season.

Please extend my congratulations to the family& friends for the hard work and a lot of heart that is evident in this business. The jewelry is endearing and in a world of "too much" stuff it brings unique personalization to a passion of mine, The Self-Esteem of women. I encourage Inner beauty as our Lord designed us and calls us to be, and encourage women to celebrate this in an Outer way~ the jewelry is an adorable expression of this!! Please pass this along to your staff and know that their hard work is two-fold here in Indiana! … We are hopeful for many successes monetary and/or of the heart and I wanted to extend that to you all as well!
Best Wishes,

Dear Michele Baratta and Staff,
Thank you for the loads of stuffed animals you sent for the “Hurricane Katrina” evacuees here in Shreveport, Louisiana. I also want to thank you for the awareness you raised with our consultants across the country. Their generosity was overwhelming - sending stuffed animals, books and clothing. It made me even more proud to be part of the Michele Baratta team. I know that all of our gifts have made these children have hope at a time when their future is extremely uncertain. Thank you again for your gifts of hope and love.
Sincerely,

~Teri Noble, LA

Hi there Michele,
I am a big fan! I am totally show-off-your-kids kinda mom and love your jewelry. Jill Adkins introduced me to it! I know Jill talked about how personable you are and so I thought I would write and ask you about thinking of a new piece. My hubby and I adopt special needs children. Our oldest son died two years ago...he was almost seven. He knew he was 'going to live with Jesus" vs dying...and we talked about our spirits for the months before his death. We talked about how our spirits would live together forever...and Andrew, would always add "forever in our hearts". So when I saw your trio pendant that says forever in my heart, I HAD to have it! We had three children so it was perfect and I wore it just about every day...until...we adopted a fourth child this January. My dream would be to have a pendant with four openings...maybe two by two, side by side. That said forever in our hearts...so if you do special commissions, that would be great. I imagine it might be too expensive for me, but if you do, I would love to know about it. I wondered if you had a plan to do a piece that had four openings?
Thanks for listening!
~Deb

Hello Deb:
"I am sitting here with tears running down my face and thinking what a wonderful family you have! And how lucky "Andrew" was to be a part of your family and how lucky you were to have his spirit light up your home even if though it was a short time. There must be a greater plan for him! I do what I do because of the hearts I touch such as yours. I will be doing some designing in a few months and I will definitely add your request to my list. I would be honored to do design a piece with "Andrew" as my inspiration. You are truly an inspiration! Congratulations to your family’s new addition to your family."
Warmly, Michele Baratta

I received my "Basket of Love" earrings and I love them! They are exactly what I've been looking for. They are a little edgy and a little 'rock' (to me anyway!). I know that probably isn't what you intended... but that is how they come across to me!
I wanted to send you a “thank you” for the coffee mug and messenger bag. I have used the mug every day for my tea!
The bag will be so great for my supplies that seem to be scattered around my car on most days.
I really enjoy working for your company and the freedoms it gives me as a stay-at-home mother. I am very excited to see the new designs and share them with my customer’s.
Thank you for thinking of me and treating me to a special gift.
Sincerely,

Hey Guys,
I’ve gotten everyone at work hooked on the picture frame necklace. To my surprise, there is now a single catalog floating around the building. I love it!! I need one too!!! It is beautiful, and I’ve already picked out several on my Christmas presents. …I’ve ordered from you several times and would love to get some of the new things. All the moms here at work love the necklaces. However, I am a little sad that I no longer have a one of a kind. Everyone wants them now. Good for you!!! You have a great product. Thanks for making so many moms and grandmothers so happy and proud to show off our kids.

~Sally,

Michele, hi it's so nice to meet you, via e-mail. Thank you so much for the return e-mail. I also would love to take this opportunity to let you know personally how much I love being a consultant for your jewelry/company. I not just enjoy making some extra money, but it's the product alone, I truly love it. You have an unbelievable talent and everyone down there at MB atHome are fantastic. So thank you for letting me be a part of your world. Oh I just realized I didn't send one to Rita, of all people, shame on me. It's on the way

I lost my Mom last year to breast cancer. A dear friend gave me one of Michele Baratta’s heart shaped picture frame necklaces with the words “Cherish” inscribed on it. She put a photo of my Mom in it. How perfect! I love it! I don’t go a day without it.

I just wanted to let you know how much this necklace means to me.

Thank you,
