DECEMBER Classes, Specials and More!

Hello Friends~

It's hard to believe, this week is Thanksgiving, Happy Thanksgiving y'all!  I know if you're like me, you need to make the most of your time...so I'm getting December's newsletter out a little early to remind you of fun classes coming up in the next couple of months.  This photo is of my team during our Home Office tour at Convention last June, sharing our Mission at CTMH - "We show you how to celebrate relationships through discovering your creativity, to preserve and share the moments that matter most."  I love the relationships I share with each of you!

One friendly reminder I want to mention, as December comes to an end, so do the products in the Holiday Expressions catalog.  Holiday Expressions is retiring December 31st! Plan ahead and make sure your wish list is checked off.  You'll see the Beary Christmas layouts (at the end of this post) I'm planning to host in January 2018, so if you're interested, you'll need to get your supplies in December.  Out with the old in December, can only mean making room for the new in January!  WooHoo!

Word is out, CTMH is also planning something for Black Friday and Cyber Monday!  When I know, you'll know...watch for details on my Facebook Business Page.  Be sure to LIKE and FOLLOW my business page so you'll be notified too!

Please share this blog post with your friends who love to stamp, scrapbook and paper-craft.  I always appreciate your referrals...and I love to reward you too, with a Referral Reward (any ONE item at 22% savings).  I appreciate your continued friendship and support for what I do with CTMH!  Thank you from the bottom of my heart!  Happy Holidays!

SEPTEMBER Classes, Specials and More!

Hello Friends!

Happy September, ya'll!  It's my FAVORITE time of year, I adore the Fall season, especially in Colorado with the crisp mornings, warm days and cool nights!  I'm looking forward to seeing the colors change too. What's your favorite season?

I'm sharing another fun, memorable photo from Convention.  For the first time ever, CTMH offered Home Office Tours to Convention attendees.  It was so fun seeing where all the magic happens!  We were able to see the beautiful Lobby, Art Studio, Jeanette's office, Executive Board Room, but none of the production of our acrylic stamps...I was hoping to see that process.  Still, it was great fun to share this experience with my team!

The holidays are coming up on us too, have you seen all the fabulous new product in the NEW Holiday Expressions?!?  Its filled with so many wonderful new products, papers, embellishments, stamp sets and thin cuts...oh my!  My wish list is LONG on this one!

Inside you'll find new Cut Above kits (scrapbooking, card making and tags!), Cats & Bats, Falling for You, Beary Christmas and Silver & Gold.  Grab your favorite beverage, sit back and enjoy all the creativity inside the new Holiday Expressions.   If you need your copy of either the new Annual Inspirations or the Holiday Expressions, please contact me...let's get them in your hands!

This month of September is full, I've got so much going on in other aspects of life.  So, thankfully, I can work CTMH around my crazy schedule.  My workshops for September will be coming later in the month, as I have my nephews wedding this weekend, my 35 year high school class reunion, Vegas next week for a dental convention, our 20th wedding anniversary...somewhere amidst of all of the fun, I will be squeezing in new workshops too!

Feel free to share this blog post with your friends who LOVE to stamp, scrapbook and paper-craft.  I always appreciate your referrals...and I love to reward YOU too!  I sincerely thank you for your continued friendship and support...I truly appreciate YOU!
