Hello Friends!
HAPPY NOVEMBER!!! Wow, this is the beginning of the busy holiday season, and I have so much to share with you! I'm going to combine both November and December classes into this newsletter, to allow you ample time to plan your purchases through the end of the year, and remember...the Holiday Expressions catalog will retire on December 31st! If you have any MUST HAVE's still on your wish list, I encourage you to get them NOW, as we get closer to end of the catalog cycle, many products will start appearing on the out of stock list.
As many of you know, I was in the Dallas/Ft. Worth area last weekend, for a team retreat with my CTMH Western Hearts team of consultants. We had a BLAST, and were totally pampered with gifts, fine meals and beautiful fall weather. So many laughs, the energy was truly magical, and getting to know these gals better was priceless. I'm already looking forward to next year!
FYI-JUST ANNOUNCED...If you didn't get a chance to get your Holiday Sparkle card making kit (featuring the shaker cards) in October, there are just a few kits left, and are available again on my website! Search "Holiday Sparkle" and the Bundle, Cut Above card kit and the exclusive stamp set (Love with All the Trimmings) will show up while supplies last! I'm addicted to the shaker card idea, and I have even more ideas coming using the Shaker Window Kits!
I always appreciate your continued support, and most importantly, I cherish the friendships we have grown together. I'm so thankful that CTMH has brought us together...all because of our love for making and preserving memories! Thank you from the bottom of my heart! May your Thanksgiving holiday be full of togetherness and blessings with friends and family. YOU are a blessing to me!
Let's preserve the memories that matter most ~ YOURS!
