August Sneak Peaks and Get Organized!

I'm so glad it's August because the anticipation of sharing some of the new things in the upcoming Annual Inspirations idea book was overwhelming!  Although it's not available until September 1st, Close To My Heart has released a few items in advance, all to give you a little teaser about what's in store in just one short month.

The following items are available to order right now!  Click on the underlined descriptions to open a new window that will show you everything in detail.

This is just the tip of the CTMH iceberg!  I know I say that each new idea book is the best yet and that's always been true.  This one speaks to me, though.  It's saying, "Caron, you want one of everything, don't you?"  Why, yes...yes, I do!

Life gets in the way...

Sometimes, life just gets in the way of your good intentions.  No new posts for months on end and no real reason for it.  Convention is less than a week away and I can't go :(  The new idea book launch has been pushed back to September 1st - which is great for a lot of reasons but patience is not my strong suit when it comes to new products so I'm really struggling!  I will be having a summer clearance sale in August.  I rearranged my studio and unearthed a whole bunch of stuff that I forgot I had.  Rather than store it away, never to be used, I decided to offer it to my customers at Grand Canyon deep prices.  That leaves several drawers and boxes empty that need to be filled with NEW items - yay!  Stick with me folks, I promise I'll be back.

MIA

So, yeah, I've pretty much been missing in action for two and a half months.  I really don't have much explanation beyond lack of enthusiasm.  Have you ever gone through a phase like that?  Where it seems that life has become routine and you lose that spark that usually keeps you going?  Well, I think that was it!  I'm hoping with the nicer weather and daylight savings time coming in a couple of weeks that I'll be back to my upbeat self very soon! 

I've changed up my monthly stamp classes.  Now, instead of just making three cards of my choosing, you have the option of selecting from a variety of designs on a card "buffet"!  Each card has all the pieces needed to create it in its own box.  You choose one, take it to your table and craft away.  When you're done, return it to the "buffet" line and take another.  No waiting for the stamps or inkpads to be passed around!  Not to worry if there are more than three that you want to make - these choices will stick around for at least two months depending on popularity so you can always make them the next time around.  Plus, there will always be new designs to choose from as well.  I've only had one so far but those who came said it really made things better.  Come check it out for yourself!
