Hello Friends~
It's APRIL FOOLS DAY! Do you play pranks on friends and family? Do you have family traditions on this day? Growing up, as best as I recall, we never really did anything out of the ordinary on April Fools Day, it was only the day before my sister's birthday. I'd love to hear your stories!
It's crazy how quickly our lives have been disrupted in just a few short weeks. How are you handling our "stay at home" orders? As many of you know, with dental offices being closed for non-emergency procedures, I've been home since March 19th. Ken has been home on "earned time off" since March 21st. Being an over-the-road truck driver, staying put for any length of time is very challenging for him. So yesterday, he wanted to jump in the corvette and go for a "Sunday drive" on a Tuesday! LOL We headed south to Pueblo, from there to La Junta where it was 78*, so we took the top off the car, absorbed some Vitamin D and cruised around, staying in the car except to get out and stretch. It was a beautiful day for a drive and being able to continue practice social distancing.
At CTMH, it's still business as usual, although that could change at a glance. I want to keep you informed of our monthly specials, and even though we can't meet in person, I will be focusing on Seas the Day paper suite for April. I was so excited to be able to use this paper for my Tahiti trip, which was scheduled for April 15th-23rd, and fortunately has been rescheduled for October 2020, and not completely cancelled altogether.
Now, more than ever, let's preserve this time in a scrapbook - it's something we've never experienced in our lifetime. I'm doing my best to journal every couple of days, and save some of the meme's that are continually shared on FB. I'm going to do a pocket scrapbook to preserve this time, since I actually have the time now, being at home, and it's a great distraction, even though I'm scrapbooking this crazy virus that is changing our lives. Want to join me, virtually of course?!
I'm going to do my best to offer virtual classes and some additional FB Lives in my VIP group to be able to connect with you during this time. I miss seeing all of you in person. We will get through this and I plan to have a POST-PANDEMIC CROP and we will be able to scrapbook together again!
Stay safe and well...love you all!
Julie

Please feel free to reach out with any questions you might have about any CTMH products offered here, I'm always happy to help. And I do looking forward to the days ahead where we can meet in person and craft together again!
During this time of social distancing and self isolation, I hope you are taking time for scrapbooking and card making. It is therapy! You never know who's spirits you may lift by sending them a heartfelt card and personal message. Looking back at a scrapbook where you've preserved some of your memories during this time, you'll be able to reflect on your strength and stamina to overcome the pandemic of our lifetime. Wishing you all well!
