Rescheduled the Idea Book Kickoff!

My mother was hospitalized earlier this week and I haven't had too much time to put together all I planned to for the Idea Book Kick Off Party. I have rescheduled this to the 9th of September here at my home in Spotsylvania. I hope to see more people here with this date change. Get the kiddos off to school or preschool and head over here to play with some of Close To My Heart's latest and greatest products! There is no purchase necessary but when you're done hopefully you will be inspired to preserve your memories. If you're new to scrapbooking I can help you with that as well.
