When you sell $300 in your first month CTMH gives you $25 and when you sell $1800 in your first three months they will give you an additional $125. That's a total of $150 of FREE products!!! And guess what! I just need to sell $187.69 more to get my FREE $150 total!!! :o) It is so exciting. I can't believe on how easy it is to sell their wonderful products. It truly sells itself.

Fall & Winter Pictures of My Girl

These pictures were taken one day after another. I heard that it was going to snow so I hurried up and took pictures of her in the leaves. I wanted her to lay down flat on her belly and her head up but instead she posed like this and it was sooo cute. (My husband covered her up with leaves) This was on Monday and when I woke up on Tuesday it didn't snow like the weather guy said it was going to. Then all of a sudden I looked out the window again a couple of hours later and it was really coming down. The snow was beautiful and my girl LOVED playing in it and eating the snow. Like most kids like to do.

Operation Smile

Close To My Heart would like to invite you to join us in supporting Operation Smile, a non-profit organization whose medical volunteers travel the globe correcting facial deformities in thousands of children.

A portion of every stamp set you purchase will be donated to Operation Smile. However, I would also like to encourage you to round up your Close To My Heart purchases to the nearest whole dollar each time you make a purchase on my website at www.leapinforstamps.myctmh.com

It only takes $240 for one operation to help a child. It's very easy for some of us to spend $240 at one store, but for a child with this facial deformity, it can mean so much!

To learn more please visit Operation Smile today at...
www.operationsmile.org

I GOT IT!!!!

I got my new consultant kit on Tuesday!!! :o) I was excited to see the UPS guy delivering my box. It was like Christmas in September!!! There is a LOT of fun things in it. I did get a bonus for signing up this month, since it is National Stamp Month. Every new consultant that signs up for the month of September gets a free Just Because card kit. The kit comes with a full set of Just Because stamps, 16 cards that you can make & the accessories to go with it. I made one card and it was very simple. CTMH put a booklet in the box to tell you how to create the perfect card. It was FUN!!!
