2010 Goals

I am so excited for this new year. I hope that you had a wonderful Christmas and Great New Year! I enjoyed spending time with my family and contemplating what I can do to make 2010 the best year ever. Here are three of my goals that I want to share with whoever reads this so I will be more accountable.

1. I want to send birthday cards to all of our immediate family members. Now, for those of you who don't know our family, we have lots of birthdays between brothers, sisters, husbands, wives, and neices and nephews. Last night we counted and there is almost 60 birthdays! Don't you worry though. I have already made all of the cards for January birthdays (unless we forgot someone).

2. I want to go to CTMH Convention in Washington DC in July. I am saving up my money so I can pay my way. Every time I sell a CTMH product I will be that much closer. I need $650 to get there. So far I have $120. I think I can make it by July.

3. I want to scrapbook Mark's mission. I won't do all of the pictures, but I think I will do 20 two page layouts. I want to be able to give it to him for Christmas so I have plenty of time and I want to do a few layouts a month.

To make this fun for you too I would like to have a contest. I would love to hear what some of your goals are. Tell me one of your goals for the year. Comment by January 15. I will randomly pick one person to give a free gift to. I will post who won on January 16. Thanks and have fun stamping!

December Incentives

Hi Everyone! As December brings more shopping than any of us can handle here are a few incentives that Close To My Heart has happening right now to make your shopping fast, simple and easy.
The first great help is the Holiday Clearance Sale. It ends on the 17 so hurry over to

http://www.carolinemiller.myctmh.com

to see what all is on sale. Some things are up to 80% off! My favorite item is the grab bag. It is a mystery bag full of $100 in products that is on sale for $30. There are stamp sets for as little as $2! Don't miss out on this great opportunity to save some money.

The next thing is the Stamp of the Month. This is a stamp set that is only offered during the month of December. If you spend $25 get 25% off, $50 get 50% off, $75 get 75% off, and if you spend $100 get the set FREE!!! Holiday Heyday sales do not count toward this offer but it is a great opportunity to get a free stamp set (worth $22.95).

Lastly is the National Papercrafting Month Campaign. The Felicity Collection features decorative die-cut paper, three gorgeous color schemes, and a D-size stamp set that include flowers, flourishes, argyle, birds, and an entire alphabet!
This collection has a retail value of $34.95 US/ $40.95 CAN. You can buy it outright, or get it free!
There are two great ways to get this packet for free:
Purchase a minimum of $60 US / $70 CAN in full-retail priced stamp sets (A, B, C, D, and E-size). (Excludes Stamp of the Month, Art & Soul®, Workshops on the Go™, and customizable (K) stamp sets.)
Place an order of $125/$145 CAN or more in full-retail priced Close To My Heart products.

It is that EASY! Thanks and happy shopping!

Jeanette Lynton

This is a picture of Jeanette Lynton, Founder of Close To My Heart and myself at Portland Regionals. I just loved meeting her and getting to know her. One of my favorite moments was during a question answer session with Jeanette. I asked her what her favorite holiday is. She responded Independence Day. She only cries about three things: her children, her consultants, and her country. Wow! She is an imspiration to me. Thanks Jeanette!
