Strawberries!!!!

The new Expressions 2 features some lovely strawberries!

I decided to make some of these - there is a "recipe" using the cricut cutting machine.  I used some Paper Fundamentals, cardstock and glue dots.

Here are mine

Well, in the end I cut out over 200 for the local Kidz Conference last month and if you would like to make these attend one of my workshops!!  Kinda fun!!!  They come pre-cut and I have simplified the instructions (for kids) and you will have me as an instructor!!

April

April is "grab a bag" with "Deal of the Day".......

So during the month of April, you have the opportunity to score a deal every day with Close To My Heart! What deals are we talking about? Each day during April, while supplies last, there will feature a random grab bag filled with current and retired Close To My Heart products available for purchase at a major discount. To grab your bag, simply place any current, full-priced item in your online shopping cart through your Online Business Address and you will be eligible to purchase as many grab bags as you wish (while supplies last)! Grab bags will be featured at five different price points throughout the month, ranging from $75 to $250. Some grab bags will contain product with more than DOUBLE the retail value of the price you pay!  Grab bags are only available while supplies last—so visit often and early! Remember that grab bag tiers will be featured on a random schedule throughout the month, so seize the opportunity to purchase from the grab bag tier you’re interested in when it becomes available because it might not come around again! 

BUT, as an "added" bonus there will be a "WaiKnot Exchange".  Close to My Heart have given us a great deal (especially if you are new to papercrafting), but, for the rest of us sometimes we can end up with some items we don't want.  So, we will have, at a later stage, a chance where you will bag up what you don't want and have a chance to "resell" or "exchange" with others at an event.  This will suit you if you live locally.  So, you will get something back making it an even sweeter purchase!!!  There will be more info on this at a later stage.....  but get sorted now and grab your deal.  

Questions:

What is in the bag?  It is a mystery BUT, Close to My Heart are placing both current stock and retired items.  There is bound to be something you will like/need.

Is there postage?  Yes $11.50 for $180 and under, and everything over $23.50.  You are purchasing directly from Close to My Heart USA.

Can I purchase more than one grab bag?  Yes, as many as you like as often as you like.

Is there a minimum order?  Yes, but it is only one item - any full price item ie can be a refill for your adhesive and you are in!

Any more questions or want to place an order contact me.

March

This month's promotion is to join my team - I am seriously looking for some people who would like to join my team and it is the perfect month.  At the top the Join my team is more information for you to view but first check this out.  Superfantastic promo this month.



Nice eh!!  I am quite jealous as I would LOVE the rolling tote but, I would support you to earn yours.



Great storage solution.  Here is an update - a video on these two products.



So, if you are a scrapbooker - this is what would be in your initial sign up package - $160 (with a value of $615).  Let's face it.  When starting to do your own scrap-booking you would spend at least this much to start - but this way you will get heaps more.  Plus as you order you can "earn" your own supplies.

February

Hi, I am back from China, and of course, have a million photos to scrapbook!!  Do you have heaps to do too.  I have put up my workshop dates - go to the the workshop tag to see the February dates!
So, for February, the promotion is for the beautiful albums that have recently come out - see below.  Apparently, these will have a set amount so first in first served.  So I hope to do an order early in the month - please let me know if these tempt you as it is a good deal!

Also, if you are a scrapbooker check out the scrapbooking tag - it has some tips on taking photos!

Thought you may like to see some of our time in China, above was taken on "the Bund" at Shanghai.

The Great Wall a few hours out of Beijing!

These two were taken in Yangshou in the Guilin area.  My favourite place!  Sunrise overlooking the millions of "peaks" and Bronwyn brush painting her own fan!

In a tuk tuk on the motorway - craziness!!!  Notice they got off as it is reasonably steep uphill!  The next one is driving - our driver didn't seem to mind hovering over the white line - even as other cars went passed - I had to close my eyes many times!

Below if you can see - people have plugged their "e-bikes" into power a number of stories up!

And at the silk factory - helping make the duvets by stretching out the silk worm cocoons.

Bronwyn at work - the kids are doing their facial exercises which some adults told me they also did when they were kids - every day!

Loved our time - it went so quick, so many memories to scrapbook!  See you!
