Only 4 More Days!

May 1 is only 4 days away. In fact it is THIS FRIDAY! There are LOTS of exciting things happening beginning on this first day of May. Here are just a few:

*New Summer 2009 Close To My Heart Catalog and Idea Book are live and you will be able to view it right here on my blog. The photo of the Idea Book is on the left of my blog (the green one with the amazing hiking layout on front) and on May 1 it will link to a virtual catalog that you can view page by page. SO EXCITING. I have also included a photo right here with this post. You are going to absolutely LOVE it. Every time I look at it I begin to drool. OK, not literally, but you get the picture.

Speaking of pictures, you can click on any of the ones posted here to see them larger.

*Karen's May Special: Place an order on my website (www.leavealegacy.myctmh.com) between May 1 and May 15 and receive a set of 3 handstamped cards from me in the mail to use as you wish.

I thought I'd end this message today with a little 'let's do the math' segment, courtesy of me (I'm not the world's greatest mathemetician, but even I can figure this one out!)

• Spend $60 on stamp sets and get the Tickled Pink Promotion FREE ($41.65 value)
• Purchase the Crystal Blue Stamp Pad (Z2117), Sweet Leaf (Z2153) and Hollyhock Stamp Pads (Z2128) ($5.25 each for a total of $15.75 together. Add this to your $60 in stamp sets and you are now at $75.75 before shipping and tax with $41.65 free (over 50% of the value of what you are purchasing). You'll use these stamp pads to create your Tickled Pink projects.
  
• Add the 3" x 3" Acrylic Block (Y1006 - $8.50) and the 2" x 6.5" Acrylic Block (Y1010 - $9.95) and the 2" x 2" Acrylic Block (YY1003 - $6.50) to your order for a total of $100.70 (before shipping and tax). Now you qualify for the May Stamp of the Month FREE ($22.95 value). If you choose this idea, you will be spending $100.70 before shipping and tax and receiving $64.60 in free products. That's approximately 65% of the value of what you purchased. WOO HOO! Of course there may be other products you choose to purchase than the ones I suggested, but you get the picture, right?
• If you do all of this on my website (here), you will also get the handstamped 3 card set from me in the mail. Priceless (smile!).
