Dear Margit,
Hi there,
Can you believe it is already 2015 - time just flies!
As the new
year begins it seems many people try to make new resolutions or set
goals. For myself, I always reflect over the last year and see how much
of what I wanted to accomplish has been done and try build on that.
Goals work much better for me than anything else. I have to commit them
to paper. I am still working on mine.
Over the next little bit, I will share some of my goals with you in my blog and on my facebook page. So, stay tuned.
In the meantime ...
Here are some great links for you to check out at any time to see some great tutorials, videos and other hints and tips!
I
keep updating it on a regular basis, follow me, share it with your
friends! My life is still going nuts, but I have figured out - being
creative helps :)
If you like facebook more, you may want to consider checking my facebook page on
facebook business page
I
am starting to add some of the images here under "Virtual Yard Sale" of
the items I have available for sale in my facebook page! So, keep
checking!
Like my page, share it, pin what you like - you may even want to check out my Pinterest page.
Hope to see you around!

You can change the life of a child with just one stamp set.
When you purchase the C-size You're the Bomb stamp
set at full retail price, $13.95, anytime between now through March
2015, Close To My Heart will donate $3 of the proceeds to Operation
Smile.
Operation
Smile was founded in 1982 and has performed over 220,000 surgical
procedures to correct facial deformities in children. It only takes an
hour for volunteer medical teams to perform these life altering
surgeries that will give children confidence for a lifetime.

January
is the time of savings! Get together with a few friends and designate
one for the hostess - get to $350 and divide the extra free hostess

Upcoming Events
These were a couple of
projects we made at my last workshop. We had a wonderful time making
Christmas cards again. We even had visitors from out of town who joined
in on the card workshop - I always welcome visitors!
At our next workshop we will
be making Valentine projects! Yeah! I have already ordered the
materials. I will be using the Heartstrings Cardmaking Kit. If you
cannot make it - you can always order it on your own and still join us
long distance! We are having fun!
Check out my blog for the details about the cards and the class.
We will have our next class on January 16. If you live close by me, we would love to have you join us! Keep checking my blog and facebook page for updates!
Right
now I have my classes in the evening, but I already have requests for
classes in the morning. So, I will schedule one in the morning.
Do
you like to scrapbook and would like to me add a night or day for
scrapbooking? Please let me know with your preference. This way I can
start putting that in my calendar as well. If you have friends who would
like to get together - I would love to schedule a class for you!
If
you miss one, but would love to make them at home or you live too far -
its as easy as ordering the kits. Just go to my blog and order the kit!
