Thanksgiving Weekend Special

Thanksgiving Weekend Special

Get more for your money!

I am getting right in there with the big guys and having a fun special during the Thanksgiving weekend. You can get more for your money when you shop Close to My Heart from me, for your Christmas projects and gifts.

  

Here’s the deal:

When you place a $99 order (before shipping and tax) with me between 6:00 AM Thursday November 24th and 11:00 PM Sunday, November 27th, you will get to choose $20 in additional product for free! And, you can also get the stamp of the month for $5. And, your name will be put in a drawing to receive half off one additional item or hostess bundle. All orders need to be placed through me by email or phone.

Need some ideas?

• Purchase the Art Philosophy Cricut cartridge for yourself or as a gift and choose $20 in stamp sets that have coordinating cartridge cuts or other product on your wish list.

• Gather $99 in orders from your friends and family, and you choose the $20 in “gifts” for yourself.

• Planning to “catch up” on some scrapbooking in the new year? Purchase a Studio J membership ($30 - $99) and then schedule a personal tutorial time with me to get started.

• Add some personalized stamp sets to your gift list. These run between $5.95 and $9.95 and come with a 1 x 3 1/2 inch block. You can choose from six different fonts, add an icon if you like and have up to 4 lines on the stamp. Paper crafters enjoy “signing” their creations with a “Handmade by…” stamp. Children like to have a name stamp and an address stamp is great for a family or individual. Choose their favorite color ink pad and you have a great stocking stuffer. 

• January is a great time to get organized. Purchase a Inks Organizer $69.95, Acrylix Stamp Set Organizer $12.95,and/or Accessories Case $12.95 and you will have what you need to start your organization in January.

Share this event with your friends. When your friend places an order, you and your friend get put in the drawing for a half price item or hostess bundle!  Start planning your Thanksgiving weekend purchases.  And just a reminder, all orders need to be place through me by phone or email.

I Am So Thankful

Sometimes I wonder why I am blessed with so much.  There are so many people who are much more deserving that I am and I just wanted to take a moment to share my gratitude today.
I have been bless with wonderful children who have become responsible adult citizens.  They are hard working and chose wonderful mates and have become wonderful parents to my 4 beautiful grandchildren.
I have been blessed with another wonderful husband who loves and cares for me.  He listens (even when I think he isn't) and is always doing kind and thoughtful things for me.  He never lets a day go by without showing his love for me.
I have been blessed with wonderful friends whom I love dearly and I have been blessed with having the Gospel of Jesus Christ in my life, that reminds me daily of why I am here and what my purpose on this earth is.
For the last two Christmases I have been giving DeWayne a bad time about not having Christmas lights.  DeWayne is afraid of heights and doesn't like to get up on the roof.  Every time we would go past someones house that had lights on it I would remind him that I didn't have Christmas lights.
Last night when I drove into our subdivision I almost drove right past our house, because it had Christmas lights on it and I didn't even recognize it.
Without my knowing it he and our good friend Ron Koller went and purchased lights and Ron helped DeWayne hang them.  I know this isn't such a big deal but it made me cry.  Not because of the lights but of the fact that he would do something that meant so much to me.
I am so grateful for all that I have been blessed with.  I couldn't let another day go by without sharing my gratitude.

Stamp of the Month Card

Life has been so crazy that I haven't had time to create anything.  I thought I would share a card made with the November SOTM that was created by my friend and fellow consultant Karen Pedersen.  Thanks Karen for your beautiful artwork.



CTMH November Stamp of the Month

  November Stamp of the Month:  As always, CTMH has created a wonderful stamp set for their Stamp of the Month program.  I love this one for so many reasons. It's great for birthday cards, anniversary cards, scrapbook layouts, and so much more.  I've included a little photo of the stamp set for you.  The actual size of the carrier sheet is 6" x 6".

I love that each of the months are represented and include a little bubble to stamp a date in!  Each month stamp coordinates beautifully with the ticket image on the CTMH Art Philosophy Cricut Collection too!
