DECEMBER 2016 CTMH Workshops & Specials

Hello Friends~
This new format for my monthly newsletters seems to be working well with everyone - I appreciate all of your feedback!  Thank you!

As we close out November, it seemed I blinked and it was gone! It was a busy month for me, as I'm sure, no exception for you.  These months before the holidays are often challenging, trying to fit everything you need to do, and everything you want to do into your schedule.  I've been scheduling additional hygiene shifts at work in November and again in December, as we search for another team member.  I should be back to my "normal" routine in January, fingers crossed!

I do hope you'll be able to make some time to join me for a workshop in December.  If my dates don't work for you, I will be hosting my All Day Crops again in 2017, so purchase your workshop supplies now and complete the projects at a crop.  As a friendly reminder, the products in the Holiday Expressions catalog will be retiring at the end of December, and products now are available while supplies last.  Thumb through, one more time...make sure you have what your heart desires...if not, I advise to shop sooner than later.

I'm flying out to Boise for the weekend, for CTMH's Seasonal Expressions 1 Launch for consultants.  I'm looking forward to a weekend of PLAY (with new products!) after all these extra days of WORK.  Ken and I decided with all the work we've been doing this year on the basement, the extra miles he's driven this year, and the extra shifts I've taken on...we need more time for play.  Unfortunately, he's staying home with the animals, its a vacation for him too!

Feel free to share this blog link with your friends who LOVE to stamp, scrapbook and paper-craft!  I always appreciate your referrals...and I'm happy to reward YOU too!!  Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your continued friendships and support...I do appreciate YOU!!!

Helping you preserve the memories that matter most,
Julie

NOVEMBER 2016 CTMH Workshops & Specials

Hello Everyone!
I'm trying a new format for my monthly newsletters, my apologies to those who haven't received my newsletters for the last couple of months.  I have been sending out monthly newsletters, and for some reason, several of you were receiving multiple emails and some received none at all.  Mastering communication through technology isn't my strong suit.  Please realize, I am always available to keep you up to date on monthly specials, workshops, and anything else CTMH, please contact me if in doubt.

For those of you new to my blog, feel free to browse around.  You'll find a Stamp of the Month tab, a Monthly Specials tab, and a Join My Team tab across the menu bar on the home page.  It is my goal to keep these up to date.  You'll notice, it's been over 2 years since I've posted anything on my blog (sadly, I had to put it on the back burner, not enough time in the day!)...I hope you find this an easier way to stay connected!!!

A few quick honorable mentions - Love our Thin Cuts?  Then you're going to LOVE this news...we now have more Thin Cuts available to purchase!  The following thin cuts are not listed in the Annual Inspirations Idea Book:

Planners Gonna Plan - That's right, our 2017 planner pages are IN STOCK now!  Discover your inner artist while staying on top of your schedule with our new 2017 planner system.  Featuring seasonal designs you can color by hand, this exclusive planner system combines the worlds of work and play to give you a planner you can truly make your own.  Choose a bundle with either the Everyday Life Sea Glass or stripes album, or purchase just the planner pages if you already have an album - the choice is up to you!

CC1178 - Everyday Life Stripes Album & Planner Pages Bundle - $31.90

Feel free to share this blog link with your friends who LOVE to stamp, scrap and paper-craft!  I always appreciate your referrals...and I'm happy to reward YOU (with one item at my cost) for sharing my business with your friends!  Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your continued friendships and support...I appreciate YOU!!!
