Fall/Winter Sneak Peak and Who Does NOT love Convention???

   Yes, once again, I have been absent. We have had an extremely cray first half of the year.... My oldest, Jacob is doing great.. Still has a few 'dizzy' spells.. But, has been all cleared from the concussion. We bought a house and while moving at the same time.. Celebrated my oldest, Jacob, graduating from High School... I am OK though, seeing as how he will be staying home doing his first two years of college here locally.

   Sooooo... I just got back from Dallas, TX.. Where CTMH held their National Convention. And, YES!!!! There are WONDERFUL things coming our way, beginning August 1st. From the NEW CTMH Cricut Cartidge, Artiste.. to alcohol markers, pigment inks and SO MUCH MORE!!!!! Close To My Heart has out done themselves with this new catalog. If you would like a copy of the new catalog or have any questions, please contact me right away. I would LOVE to help you with your crafty needs.

   Now, On to the 'Sneak Peak'.. First our beautiful new Catalog that goes live August 1st.

Within these pages you are going to find new alcohol markers, pigment inks, 62 NEW Stamp Sets, 10 to coordinate with the Cricut Art Philosphy cartidge and 15 to accompany the new Cricut Artiste Collection, New bulk ribbon, additions to our already wonderful My Creations Line... To include a wonderful Craft Cubby, Star, Bracket Frame and so MUCH MORE!!!!  

Please, visit back everyday, as I will be posting sneaks of new items everyday until August 1st.

Today's SNEAK is of the WONDERFUL NEW Cricut Artiste Collection. I will be taking pre-orders for this collection that will be submitted on August 1st. You really do not want to hold off too long. When our Art Philosophy Collection launched last year, Close To My Heart went through an ENTIRE years worth of stock in just 3 WEEKS. Now, we do not want to be one of those left waiting for a restocking, now DO WE?

same as last year, The Cricut Artiste Collection is just $99 and comes with THREE exclusive coordinating stamp sets, and three coordinating 12x9  Dimensional Elements Sheets (Awards, Quotes, Album Pages). This is a $125 value. Anyone who places a preorder with me before August 1st, will receive a monogram stamp set of their choice from me. Please, contact me for details.

Now, onto some Convention excitement..... I had a GREAT time seeing old friends, meeting new ones and having a GREAT time with wonderful people.... I hope you enjoy some of the following...

I would be the one in Black, and my friend, Pam, is holding one of the cupcakes I made.. I am holding the last of 8 cupcakes I made for my room mates and a few very good friends...

SEVEN of the 8 that I made.. I kept the last one for myself... :-)

Having some good crafting/scrapping time at the end of convention.
