Check out my Slide Show!

This Sunday we went to one of the local beaches.  Just wanted to share the pictures... I now carry a new skin color... its called.  Lobster Red... LOL you would think that after living here almost 1 year i wouldnt get sunburned even with sunblock.  Who knew.

Well, its been a somewhat strange week.  I feel like the week has dragged by.  I have not accomplished much this week.  Hoping that this coming week will be more productive.  I am working on a few Layouts and other little projects for my CTMH portfolio.  ( i guess that would be a good word for it) .  They sent me so many beautiful papers to work with in my kit.  I absolutely Love them.  Hopefully when i have a few more things done i will post them here.  In the meantime you could check out my CTMH website and you will find a couple of things under My Art.

Hopefully this Sunday we will take a trip to the beach so i can work on some new little techniques i learned with the camera.

Well i guess we will have to see if that is right. So far its been 3 days i think?

Well lets see, My daughter won tickets to see the Jonas Brothers off of the radio station. Shockingly enough my husband was telling her "oh honey dont get your hopes up do you know how hard it is to get through and actaully win?" and as he is finishing his sentence She gets through and was able to answer the questions the DJ had for her. Can you believe it? So We picked up the tickets on monday and they are good seats except like any 12 year old she is upset that they werent Floor seats. The concert is Friday and Im so not excited. To have to sit around thousands of screaming, crying Girls. It should be very interesting. I will Post pictures.

Well i have read and watched everything about CTMH. And i think im ready. I will hopefully have my Website up and running by the weekend. I doubt i will be making any money on this since i just about want everything in the catalog. LOL. So far there is very little that i dont want. Everything from Papers, to Stamps, to embellishments, to Storage stuff. (i am a big storage buff). I will somehow have to show some restraint since i convinced my husband that this was the business that i wanted and knew i could make work. LOL little did he know that one of the reasons i wanted to get into it was because of the consultant discount. :) sneaky, I know.

Well you all have a great day and enjoy your thursday it only comes once a week you know!

It's here!!!

Well its official! I am officially a Close To My Heart Consultant.  My kit came yesterday afternoon.  The poor UPS guy must think i am nuts.  I didn't even give him a chance to knock on the door.  I opened it up and spread it all out on the floor in front of me with such happiness you would of thought i have a million dollars spread out in its place. So today i am off to read and watch DVD's about my new business venture.  Hopefully i will have my website up and running in the next couple of days.  

You probably ask why CTMH?  Well the reason why is because i absolutely love there products.  There stamps are one of a kind.  And there paper is all high quality stuff.    My decision to join was my idea.  I wasn't at a party,  There was no one there to push me sign.  This is my story.  Back in August of 2007 i went to a crop about 6 hours from my house.  Where i met a bunch of wonderful women.  All excellent crafters.  I had one of the best weekends of my life.  At this crop 1 of the ladies is a CTMH consultant.  I had never stamped before this day and Nancy was so sweet and showed me how stamping worked.  Well, Nancy created a monster.  I know am hooked.  I don't use stamping as often as i would like because i have been out purchasing stamps so that when I'm ready to stamp i have everything i need.  Thats when i remembered CTMH and did some research online and decided why not sign on.  So I did it. I signed on and got my kit.  Maybe a bit impulsive.  But I'm sure i can thrive.  I was a sales person for a few years for a company that i didn't believe in and thrived.  Can you imagine selling a product/brand that you do believe in?  I almost cant wait to begin.

Well i am off to read and of course make room for my new stuff.   I want to create an area in my crop room just for CTMH.  I will eventually post pictures. :)

TTFN hugs to you all!

Check out my Slide Show!

WOW it still works!!

Didn't think my blog was still up since i had neglected it for so long.  Anyhoo. For all of you reading it. (which i think we are up to about 3 people).  I just signed on to the Close to my Heart banwagon.  Im so excited.  I absolutely love there product.  In NJ i had never heard of them but once i got to Florida instantly i met to gals that were consulting. and after a few months of Thinking about it and purchasing stuff i decided to Go for it.  I will post my website as soon as it is up and running (probably by the end of the week).  I will also be posting some pictures as soon as i get the Kids to sleep. (hopefully soon) .   I have made a whole bunch of LO's and also a couple of other little crafty items.  Now i will be starting the Mother's day Gifts for the Mom's of the kids i take care of.  I have a few things in mind but i still don't have anything concrete.  

TTFN i will be back in a few to add some pictures (hopefully i can figure it out)
