Going, Going, almost GONE!

Hello! I've been out of town this week doing some FUN things. I took my daughter, Kori and granddaughter, Daci down to Cedar City to visit Easton and Daysha for a few days and we went to see Daysha perform at Tuachan on Tuesday night (Cha Cha in Grease) and Wednesay night (Arista in Little Mermaid). It was so much fun! I'll be sharing some photos from our trip in the next couple of days. I have some serious downloading of photos to do!

In the meantime, I really wanted to be sure that you knew there are many items that are being retired by Close To My Heart at midnight on July 31. Below you'll see a list and a few links to help you quickly make your purchases for anything that is going, going, almost gone that you just MUST have before it's gone. You can click on the links below to see the actual products, and you can order them 24/7, until midnight on July 31, on my website.

IN with the old, and IN with the new

Every year, as much as it kills me, I join many other Close To My Heart enthusiasts in saying good bye to some dear old friends. In order to bring us lots of brand new popular and stylish designs in 2010 that keep our hearts a-flutter, CTMH must retire some old favorites to make room. Sob! But, looking on the bright side, that does mean we will be seeing some NEW favorites coming very soon.

As we get into the heart of Stampaganza (November 3-30....buy 2 stamp sets and get one free. Click here for more details), what better way to use this wonderful special than to get a few of those stamp sets that you just can't live without but that will soon be gone forever?

To assist you, I have given you a link here that will take you to the stamp sets that will be retiring as of December 31, 2009 (or when supplies run out, whichever comes first). After doing that, if there are any you just HAVE to have, that you can't possibly let retire before they enter your collection, make a list then click here to go to the home page of my website. Once there click 'shop online' and you can purchase any of these sets there and buy two and get one free (as many times as you want all in one order). Pretty nifty way to keep all of your old friends and still be able to anticipate the new ones you'll meet in January, I'd say!
