MERRY CHRISTMAS

Hi Everyone,

Halloween & Thanksgiving are over, but Christmas is almost here.  Is everybody ready?  I love Christmas time, the decorations, music, special TV shows, SANTA CLAUS!!, watching the kids open their presents.  I could listen to Christmas music all year long.  I guess I'm a big kid at heart.

There is still time to order your last minute Christmas stamps, paper, washi tape & embellishments along with other products from Close to my Heart.

Wishing you a Joyous Holiday Season and Peace, Prosperity and Happiness in the New Year
Christmas cards were made with the Frosted paper pack using the Christmas Village, Classy Dolly, Yuletide Greetings & Polar Bear Holiday stamp sets. The Workshops on the Go Frosted Cardmaking Kit was also used.  These will all be going away soon, so order now.  Also, check out the Close to my Heart Holiday catalog, a lot of great products. This month for every $100 you spend you get an item for free.




Thanksgiving cards using the Huntington paper pack and Count your Blessings & Perfect Fit-Thanksgiving acrylix stamp sets. The Cricut Artiste Cartridge was also used for the turkey & circular decoration in the third card.  Paper pack & stamp sets will be going away soon, so if you want them order soon.

                                                        HELLO EVERYONE

I'm back from the Close to My Heart Convention with lots of new products and ideas.

First of all we had lots of fun going to creative sessions learning hands on about new products.  One day we had an Extravaganza in the exhibit hall where artistic instruction and cutting-edge crafting techniques from cream-of-the crop creative consultants.

Some of the girls started their morning off doing Zumba where some of us just slept in.

Mickey and Minnie, Donald, Pluto and Goofy were available for photo shoots which we all took advantage of.  Other Disney characters were there to entertain us during the Thursday morning opening session.  That was two hours of fun and games.  They entertained us during the Awards Banquet and also the Closing Session on Saturday.

Next year's convention will be at Disney Land in California.  Hope to see you there.
