Hostess Club!

A new round of Hostess Club will start in April.

Details for Hostess Club:

• Each Club has 6 members. All the members commit to spending at least $25 in product (before tax and shipping). As a result each member will take turns being the Hostess and reaping the Hostess Rewards.
• All Hostess Club orders are due by the 3rd Saturday of each month to ensure that the Hostess has time to sort out what she would like to order.
• You may schedule a party or workshop with me to help boost your rewards but if you don't want to that's okay too.
• Hostess Club members will receive The Idea Book (catalog) 2 weeks before it goes live for FREE!
• Hostess Club members are also given preference for all limited access Workshops and Events.

If you or someone you know would like to sign up for a Hostess Club please contact me today! Thanks!


I want to clarify that the March 27th All Day crop has been canceled. I haven't been able to get a hold of the venue to verify the event. I have scheduled an All Day Crop for April 17th at the Red Cross in Fredericksburg to replace the cancelled crop. Please email me to let me know you plan to attend the April 17th Crop to ensure that you get all updates and reminders.

Sad to announce!

I'm sad to say that I didn't receive enough participants to have our Retreat in September. I will be planning another one  for Spring 2011.

Almost here!

The deadline for the September Retreat is almost here. If you haven't already signed up and paid your deposit you need to have it in by Friday the 12th. I only have 5 spaces left. If these don't get filled we wont be able to have our retreat  :( So to make sure we go, talk to your friends and family and see if they are interested! If they have any questions they can contact me via email.

“Hearts for Haiti” Campaign is our February Constant Campaign

Our hearts go out to the victims of the earthquake in Haiti, and like so many of you, we’re eager to help. We’re excited to announce Close To My Heart’s February Constant Campaign, Hearts for Haiti—where customers can get a great deal while doing great good for those affected by the devastation in Haiti.

From February 1-28, 2010, our 12” x 12” textured cardstock combo packs are buy one, get one FREE—and with every offer purchased, Close To My Heart will donate $2 US to Operation Smile’s Haiti relief efforts.

Operation Smile is always a fantastic charitable partner—offering free facial reconstruction surgeries to needy children throughout the world. They’ve currently marshaled their medical teams and resources to provide emergency relief in Haiti, and the donations given as part of Hearts for Haiti will be used exclusively for Operation Smile’s efforts in Haiti. For more information on their on-the-ground response, you can visit www.operationsmile.org/haiti.

That means that for $14.95/$17.50 CAN, you get two packs of textured cardstock (a great deal at about $.30/$.36 per sheet!),  and Operation Smile will receive $2 to benefit this urgent, important cause. Stock up on every color combination: Basic, Spring Harmony, Summer Celebration, Autumn Harvest, and Winter Cozy packs are available.

On February 1, you can read more about Hearts for Haiti at http://www.closetomyheart.com > Campaigns & Promotions > Hearts for Haiti.
