Happy New Year, 2019!!!

  
Happy 2019!!!!  I am really quite happy to be able to say that.

SO much has happened since I last popped in to my blog.  Maybe I will get into it sometime, maybe not, but suffice it to say that I have been a bit preoccupied and decidedly UN-crafty since we last saw each other.  The week before Christmas I finally had back surgery to relieve the symptoms of a herniated disc that had been causing me grief for over a year.  I won't know exactly how much relief this will bring for a few months yet, so I will hopefully have some wonderful reports to give soon.  In the meantime, I'm recovering for a bit longer before school starts again next week.  I am happy to say that each day gets a little bit better, so my positivity is improving rapidly!  ;)

Check out this little beauty!  Close to my heart is celebrating 35 years with a beautiful new Seasonal Expressions Catalog!  New products are available HERE on my website now!

Live Beautifully with Happy Heart

I've been super busy working to get things all squared away for my traveling workshop this week.  Here is one of my new additions to the card buffet!

Close to My Heart is SOOOOOOOO good to its consultants.  This is a card designed by one of the many talented consultants that is provided to us to use for our own workshops!  I just adore the banners along with the Heart Thin Cut Die!  I just changed up the sentiment to this one from Happy Heart to provide my ladies with options and added some bling!  :)

This sentiment is from the Happy Heart My Acrylix from Close to My Heart.

This Live Beautifully paper was actually only available during one special month, but it is now back in the "Going Soon!" category on my website, so it isn't too late to get your hands on it!  :)

PLEEEEEEASE, don't forget that the MAIN IDEA BOOK, called Annual Inspirations, is retiring at the end of July.  Sea Glass in all forms, except the D-Ring and Post bound Albums, will be GONE!  (Glitter paper is already sold out I'm afraid.)

If you have your heart set on anything in this book then grab it soon.

Only a few more days!

Only this month!
