Make A Miracle...A Worthy Cause Operation Smile

A VERY worthy cause...


Everyone is invited to join in the Make a Miracle Challenge by helping raise funds to provide corrective surgeries for children around the world through Operation Smile®. It takes just $240 to sponsor a surgery and change a young life for the better. If you are unfamiliar with the Operation Smile organization, you can read more about it here.


Between January 1 and March 31, the Close To My Heart Consultant who raises the most in donations will have the opportunity to go on an Operation Smile international mission. What an incredible honor it would be to win this challenge and have the opportunity to go on an Operation Smile international medical mission. We will  work as part of the non-medical staff, alongside doctors and nurses, providing care for children, screening applicants, teaching parents, and assisting in every way in this important endeavor.


If you would like to make a donation, feel free to contact me or, you may donate online when you check out of the online shopping cart on my website here.


I am so proud to be associated with a company that supports such a worthy cause!

Wonderland

It was really cold today. Damp and very windy. Looks like winter has come. I hope it doesn't stay too long.  We have been blessed with warm weather so far. Hopefully, we will have an early spring.

Here is a layout using the Wonderland papers; following the instructions from the Workshop On the Go guide, just in case we get some of the white stuff.  Love those sparkles and tone on tone Twilight snowflakes.

New Year's Resolution

I hope everyone has had a great Holiday and my wishes for a safe and healthy new year. I got to thinking about my New Year's resolution and of course like everyone else, I want to lose a few pounds. And, like every year, 4 to 6 weeks into it, oops, there goes that resolution.

But, I hope I will be able to keep up with this resolution which is to try to post weekly on my blog. Hopefully, this will keep me inspired and more on track with my own scrapbooking and card making. So what are your resolutions for the year? I'd love to hear from you.

And, I want to thank you for your friendship, support and inspiration this past year and for many, many more years to come.

Happy New Year

I hope everyone is having a great holiday season. I want to wish each and everyone of you a very Happy and Healthy New Year. I want to take this time to thank everyone for your friendship and support as I grow my Close To My Heart business. Through this endeavor, I have been so blessed to meet and be inspired by such beautiful souls. Thank you all for sharing your passion with me.


Now, to update you on January's Special and the upcoming No Frills Crop.

Barb, the organizer of the Reisterstown No Frills Crop at the United Methodist Church on Main Street is having computer problems and has been unable to send out the schedule. She wanted me to let everyone know the Crop will be January 14, 2012, 10am to 8pm. The cost is $8. As she continues to experience technical difficulties, she would like for you to email me so I can let her know how many to expect. I will call and let her know how many tables to set up.

We will be using the Believe papers to make the layout as follows for $7



Close To My Heart will be offering 2 Specials for January.


First as a preview to the New Spring/Summer Idea Book, CTMH is offering the Rock the Block Set






Rock the Block


December–January Constant Campaign

When you place a minimum order of $25 from the Autumn/Winter 2011 Idea Book, you can get two valuable new products for just $15: the My Creations® Collage Cubes (a Spring/Summer 2012 sneak-peek product!) and the exclusive My Acrylix® Rock the Block E-size stamp set (available only during this promotion). This Rock the Block promotion represents a retail savings of almost $30! You're going to love the collage cubes and the Rock the Block stamp set, which work together for interactive, fashionable fun!

The Consultant preview period for this campaign is November 15 through December 19, in which you may participate according to campaign rules and get your stamp set and collage cubes early so you can create cute display art to showcase at your workshops and Home Gatherings.

Dates: Offer valid December 19, 2011–January 31, 2012.

For those of you who are Studio J members-Buy 9 layouts; get the 10th FREE!
