Wow! It has been way too long....but I think I'm finally ready to show you what is new and exciting at Close to my Heart!
It is Open House time!!!....Scheduled for Saturday Oct. 6th from 5-9 at my house, it promises to be the biggest and best Open House and Idea Book Party ever!! We will be "touring" the Fall/Winter Idea book, checking out new product, doing demo's of the new Studio J Essentials product and the new Artiste Cricut cartridge. Make and takes will be available for your creative side and deeply discounted retired product for your thrifty side!
Also there will be registration for some upcoming workshops and classes this fall with info on a new monthly "club" starting in January. Start off the new year nurturing your crafty side and making time for you! Lot's of input from members as to what you want to do each month, so come and check it out!
Feel free to bring your friends and neighbors too, the more the merrier....Contact me for directions if you haven't been here before, or can't remember how to get here. Please drop me an e-mail to let me know you are coming so I can have enough food and fun to share with everyone!
Can't make it? There is a link to the party through my Close to my Heart website here. Order by clicking the "Open House Party" link on the right and you can be part of the fun. Just order and your product will be sent directly to your home and there are some great "while supplies last" items only available there as well! In addition, I will send you a gift for "attending" even if it was online!
See you soon....

Missing my sweet mother-in-law these days. Barbara passed away on August 14th at 7:58pm at home with her loved ones surrounding her. We brought her home to Arizona to bury her along side her beloved parents and baby sister. She will be missed until we see her again in heaven.
Sorry friends for my absence...back from the cruise, back to work, back to school and now waiting sadly for updates on my MIL Barbara as her cancer has progressed and she is in hospice now and we are waiting to hear about arranging our trips back to Tulsa for our good byes : (
While the cruise was wonderful and our time together precious....it seems way to fast.....
I will be back as soon as I can to update and share some dates for CTMH events that I will have to put on the back burner for a few weeks...Sorry
Be back as soon as I can, and thanks for understanding....

Convention is getting so close, I can taste it! One of my favorite things recently has been getting the opportunity to go to Close to my Hearts annual convention. 4 whole days of creative bliss, time to reconnect with old friends, make some new ones and play with paper to my hearts content!
This year I will be attending with my good friend and downline, Cathy and we are headed to Dallas! Yes, deep in the heart of Texas, we will be creating up a storm. One of our favorite activities is getting to hear about all the new products and progams offered by CTMH and get our hot little hands on the new Fall/Winter Catalog and Idea Book. Every year it just gets better! Close to my Heart does such a good job keeping "on trend" and "innovative." Looking forward to it!
On Sunday the 15th, I will be picked up at our hotel by my fun SIL and BIL along with my sweet MIL to head out to Galveston to sail away on the Carnival Magic!! Yep, it is finally time to celebrate Barbara's big birthday with a cruise. A little delayed, but very much anticipated by all of us. I love these people and can't wait to relax and reconnect with them. Bryan will also get to test out his Scuba Diving skills finally with two dives, one in Roatan and one in Belize....Me? I'll be laying low and relaxing with Larry and Barb on a beach somewhere!! Lot's of pics to share upon my return....
Also will have info on my New Catalog Reveal and Open House. I have been purging and collecting all sorts of fun things to sell and share with my friends as I recently moved my Studio back into a smaller, more usable space. You will all be invited for a tour and some fun creative time soon!
Love ya,
Terrie
Are you ready for some stampin? It's time once again for Stampaganza with CTMH! Order any two stamp sets and get a third stamp set (of equal or lesser value) for FREE! This applies to any A,B,C,D or E size set. (only custom and SOTM are excluded)
Keep in mind you can also get the Stamp of the Month, for only $5 with a $50 order, so that even sweetens the deal. Especially since this month's SOTM is a cute, and very trendy, birdy stamp called "Life Is Tweet." Make sure you head to my website here to start shopping...
To make this month even "tweeter", if you order $35 in product, (before S/H and tax), I will let you choose any stamp set out of my large collection for free!! (If you bump up your order just $15 more, you will get the SOTM for $5 too!!) To get this great deal, contact me directly through my e-mail, found here and I will place your order directly....(If you are out of town, I will even include shipping to you!!!)
It's a great offer, I look forward to hearing from you soon!!! This order will go in on the 15th of June, so start shopping!!! If you need a catalog, let me know!!

Sorry about the delay getting back....Our workshop we had originally planned for this Saturday had to be rescheduled as our venue became unavailable : (
We hope to still have the workshop, but probably in late June. I will include some pictures of the cute card box I made with CTMH's "Dotty for You" National Scrapbooking Month special. This fun, easy project is very economical too...when you spend just $35 before shipping and handling, you can get the kit for just $5. It is a great savings with a retail value of over $19! Head on over to my website to order, or leave a comment and I will get back with you and add it to an upcoming order!! If you order a paper pack through me directly, I will provide your card box for free! Yay, another $5 value!
Talk to you soon!!
What do you have planned this Saturday? Why not spend a little time getting you "Scrap" on! It's "National Scrapbooking Day" and I for one plan on spending part of the day in my craft room creating something fabulous!
I am working out the final details for a workshop/class featuring Close to my Heart's National Scrapbooking Kit "Dotty for You" so check back in the next day or two for dates, prices and options for you to order these kits online or come to a class held locally in the North Valley.
On a very sad note, I lost my camera at a recent scrapbooking trip to Greer, so I do plan on having pictures of the cute Note Card Set I created with our "Dotty" paper soon, but will have to purchase a new camera first.....
Don't worry though, it will be worth the wait!!!
Can't wait to share with you all.
In the meantime, make sure you send me a copy of what you create on National Scrapbook Day and I will post them on my blog for all to see.....If I get several pictures, I will have my CTMH team vote for a winner and I will send you an awesome prize package! You are welcome to enter more than one project and in case you don't get to create on May 5th, I will leave the contest open till the 15th because surely everyone will have time to create by then!!! Best of luck to you all and get busy creating!
