Found in the Mail

Look at the cute card Karen Pedersen sent to me.  It made me smile so I had to share.  Thanks Karen!

What Am I doing these days you ask........

I have become a Girl Scout Leader, Troop Cookie Manager, All around -crazy- having too much Fun mom.  Really, anybody want some?  I will gladly share.  Tonight was our Valentine Party at Girl Scouts we had Chocolate covered Strawberries, the girls made Flower bouqets with suckers and we played Jingo.  We had a blast.  Good thing you can never be too old to be a Girl Scout.

My darling niece lived with us for a while, she was so photogenic.

Hearts for Haiti

Hearts for Haiti


Our hearts go out to the victims of the earthquake in Haiti, and like so many of you, we’re eager to help. We’re excited to announce Close To My Heart’s February Constant Campaign, Hearts for Haiti—where customers can get a great deal while doing great good for those affected by the devastation in Haiti.
From February 1-28, 2010, our 12” x 12” textured cardstock combo packs are buy one, get one FREE—and with every offer purchased, Close To My Heart will donate $2 US to Operation Smile’s Haiti relief efforts.
Operation Smile is always a fantastic charitable partner—offering free facial reconstruction surgeries to needy children throughout the world. They’ve currently marshaled their medical teams and resources to provide emergency relief in Haiti, and the donations given as part of Hearts for Haiti will be used exclusively for Operation Smile’s efforts in Haiti. For more information on their on-the-ground response, you can visit www.operationsmile.org/haiti.

Play Group Information

I am so excited about my monthly scrapbook classes. I call them Play Groups. Each month we use one of the 'to die for' Level 2 paper packs and My Stickease, as well as other accessories to create three two page 12" x 12" layouts, or you can opt to create a 2 Page layout and 6 Cards! You'll love it!

There are two ways to attend:
1. You can watch my monthly emails (please email me at stampwithheart@yahoo.com to be added to this list) or posts on my blog about Play Group to see what we are doing the next month and to call and order your kit and sign up for a specific date and time. There are always at least 3 times to choose from each month.

2. You can join Play Group for a 10 month commitment. You still get to choose a month to be the hostess. The difference is that when you join you will get a chance to get a FREE CLOSE TO MY HEART SHOPPING SPREE in one of your 10 months.

Either way you choose to attend, the following information is pertinent:

*You are required to purchase the Basic Kit, but are welcome to upgrade to the Better or Best Kits, or just to pick and choose things from them to add to your Basic Kit. Basic Kits are usually between $20-$28 (before shipping and tax). You purchase the month before for the following month and then your kits are here waiting for you when you come. For instance, you would buy your February kit in Janruary.

*You are always welcome to purchase additional items from the Idea Book, but are not obligated to in any way.

*If you sign up and for some reason can't attend, you will still get your packet and cutting guide and there will be pictures on my website that you can look at to complete your layout on your own.

A few Benefits to joining Play Group:

*You will have the option to host your own gathering with your friends during your Shopping Spree month if you would like to. This will help you get an even bigger free shopping spree.

*You will get each new Idea Book one month before everyone else.

*You will never miss out on hearing about a Close To My Heart special.

*You will have the opportunity and excuse to have at least one evening or morning out per month with your girlfriends.
