Hello all :)

I hope that you're all managing to stay warm and cozy inside these days (or maybe you're one of those lucky few that enjoy being out in the snow). Either way, I hope that you're managing to find a bit of time to scrap, make cards, or find ways to play with lots of pretty papers, stamps, ribbon, brads etc...etc...etc....

For February, CTMH is celebrating their anniversary. If you spend 31.25 on any acrylix stamps (the custom stamp and stamp of the month do not count towards this total), you receive a VERY VERY cute FREE stamp set -- its called "Good Times" and is a B sized stamp set with a retail value of 17.50$.

There is also a VERY sweet easter egg stamp set as this Stamp of the Month. Remember, you can get this set for 50% off with an order of 62.50, or even free with a larger order.

My personal special is -- place any order over 25$ with me in February, and you'll receive a package of 18 clear plastic shapes/charms. They're just a little something cute and fun to play with as my way of saying thank you.

I will be placing an order for the month on Feb. 15th -- which means it SHOULD be delivered during the last week in February. I wanted to thank you all for your business, and for all your kind emails/phone calls lately -- I appreciate them all :)

November Coming up FAST!!!

I hope everyone is enjoying this crisp fall weather (blah!!!!)

The date for my Christmas card class is going to be Saturday November 22 at 1pm. The cost will be 15$ and we'll be doing at least 5 cards.

If you'd like to attend, please give me a shout... email or phone, and I"ll book you in. I have 4 spots open right now (as of Oct. 21).

I can't wait to have you all come by and see all my latest CTMH products -- we all love new toys!!! lol

The specials for November are as follows:

- a 55.55$ order will allow you to purchase a special item for the month of November -- Dazzling Die-cuts. If you reach an order amount of 55.55$ -- you can order up to SIX packages of die-cuts (there are twelve - 12x12 sheets of lovely die-cuts in each package)... the only clincher being that you can only have 1 of each colour group (6 groups available). Now the price...... $6.75!!!!! That's it, not even 7 dollars!! I've gone into scrapbook stores and paid 3$ for ONE 12x12 sheet.

The stamp of the month for November is OOOOHH so cute -- Its a set called "All Decked Out" -- and if I could figure out how to attach a picture of it -- I would. Its a lovely set of snow"people" and accessories featuring some gorgeous flourishes!!! If you place a 55.55$ order -- you can get the stamp set for 1/2 price (12.75$).

AND.....

If you happen to place an order of 55.55$ or more, I will include a free dye-based ink pad in any colour you pick, FOR FREE!!!

These specials are only good for the month of November -- I already have a few ladies who have pre-ordered their goodies for November, and am putting in an order on Nov. 4th :)

Oh, and if you ever want to print out a wishlist for Christmas -- just email it to me, and let your significant others' know that they can just give me a call, and I can arrange one-stop Christmas shopping :)

Well, I have sold out of Autumn/Winter Idea books -- they have sold out across Canada!! I have several Summer Idea books coming in this week -- if you want one, let me know ASAP.

There are 3 Idea Books per year, plus a Product Review -- all of which can be seen here: http://www.closetomyheart.com/Ideabooks/index.aspx. All items in the books can be ordered throughout the entire calender year.

I will be setting a date, and posting pictures soon of my Christmas Card Class in November. If you look in the Autumn/Winter Book -- you'll find the Evensong paper collection. I will be featuring that collection with my cards :)

Some great specials coming up for November -- including the VERY cute Stamp of the Month "All Decked Out" -- adorable snowmen!!!! Also, some FABULOUS Die-cuts (cheap cheap cheap) more on this later.

I will be getting my starter kit delivered this week -- so if anyone wants to see the patterned paper or cardstock up close and personal.... just let me know :) OH, and I'll have my wonderful copy of "Originals" the CTMH cardmaking book/program -- it is AWESOME!!! I can't wait for you to see it in person!!!

October!!!

The October Stamp of the Month is "Annotations" -- its a lovely set of frames and sentiments that is versatile for both cards and scrapbooking pages.

For the month of October -- I'm offering a 10% discount on any CTMH album purchase as well as a 10% discount on the Reflections, Cherish, Imagine and Originals Program books.

First Day!!!

Hello,

Just a quick note to say that I've started up the Blog :) This is also my first day as a Close to My Heart Consultant.

I decided to take the plunge into this adventure because I love crafting.... okay I love shopping for crafts.... ALRIGHT I'm an addict and I love it all :)

I'm hoping to be able to communicate with everyone who is hoping to follow me along this little journey. I will be posting my newsletters through here, communicating specials and new items, as well as any classes or gatherings I might be holding.

Hopefully there will eventually be pictures as well!!!

Well, I'm glad to be here, and hope to talk to everyone soon,

Natasha
