It’s August! There is a lot to talk about…

August is a month of change for my family with my only daughter headed off to college. She’s excited that in less than two weeks she’ll officially be a Missouri S&T Minor. I’m excited for her, but also know that I’ll miss her a lot!

I’ve been procrastinating. It’s already August 5 and I’m just now getting my “first of the month” blog post up. Occasionally, I get this opening post late because life is busy and I just don’t get it done. But this time, it was because I had serious writer’s block!

There are three Close To My Heart specials (one for purchases, one for hostesses and another for new consultants). As usual, I have a Collection of the Month bonus and I’ve created bundles with the new Cricut cartridges. Plus there is the  August Stamp of the Month. All together 6 great deals to tell you about today.

Year End Bonus Time: Stamping Surprise!

For the second week of Year End Bonuses, I’m giving away stamp sets! When you order a stamp set, I’ll send you a bonus set of the same size!

If you like surprises, you’ll love this giveaway! I have a large selection of brand new stamp sets that I’ll randomly choose from to match all stamps ordered. Many are retired, so this is your chance to add some rare sets to your collection.

How does this work? Simply go to myClose To My Heart website, pick out your favorite stampsets and join the “Year End Bonus” gathering before you check out. That’s all there is to it! Add as many stamp sets as you’d like to your order. I’ll match each one! We currently have stamps for all occasions, so you have plenty to choose from: 

Your bonus stamp set(s) will be the same “size” as the one(s) you order. Our stamp sets come in 6 sizes: M, A, B, C, D and E. You can determine the size of a stamp set from the first letter of the item number.

The “mini” M stamp sets fit on a 2″ x 2″ block and are packaged in a 3″ x 3″ plastic envelope. All of the others are packaged in a 6″ x 6″ plastic envelope which is really handy for storage, but the size of the carrier sheet with the stamp varies from 3″ x 3″ for size A stamps to 6″ x 6″ for size D. The E size stamp sets have two 6″ x 6″ carrier sheets making them twice the size of a D. 

This special includes the current Stamp of the Month, Thoughtful Flowers. Order this stamp set and you’ll get a prior, unused Stamp of the Month from my stash! It doesn’t matter whether you pay full price or get it at a discount — I’ll match it!

This special starts today and runs for seven day, so you’ll need to get your order in by Thursday, December 22. When you place your order, you are welcome to add any other products including the current specials. You can see all by clicking on the links below the images below.

Be sure to check back on Friday, December 23 for the next Year End Bonus! 

Save on adorable mini album bundles!

Puerto Vallarta or bust!

Each year, Close To My Heart gives each of the consultant a chance to earn an amazing trip to exotic destinations. This year, I find myself less than a month from the deadline and for the first time ever within reach of making it!!!

I’m so excited about the opportunity to travel to lovely Puerto Vallarta!  But with this amazing company, you don’t just earn a trip for yourself. You get to bring a guest! I’d love to give this trip to my husband for all the support he has shown me over the years!

Although I am within reach, it is definitely a stretch goal! I’ll need to have my best month ever in sales, parties and recruiting. But it is POSSIBLE!

So, what does this mean for you?

To achieve this goal, I’m offering a number of special deals to my customers — current and new! I’ll be posting some of them on this blog, but I’ll also be sharing exclusive specials on my Facebook page, through my newsletter, at live events and even in one-on-one conversations. Most of these will be limited time “Flash Sales” where you’ll need to act before the time runs out. How can you find out about the best deals? By keeping your eyes on each of these avenues. 

Click here to sign up for my newsletter>>

Click here to visit and like my Facebook page>>

Come to my “Retirement Party”>>

However, keep in mind that I’m posting specials based on what I think people want. Of course, I don’t know what is on your personal wish list.  If there is a Close To My Heart product or two you have been dreaming of, drop me an email and tell me about it.  I’ll get back to you with the best offer that works for me and meets the requirements of the Close To My Heart consultant agreement. Hopefully, we can find a way to get that item into your hands while helping me earn the trip!

So email me your WISH LIST and let’s talk!!

Wait, did you say you want to go too?

It may be a little late for the Puerto Vallarta trip, but if working when you want to work for yourself, earning cash and scrapbooking product, plus being given the chance to take an amazing trips like this appeals to you, we need to talk! You would be perfect for my team. I’m really excited about the next incentive trip to Thailand. The earning period starts October 1, so now is the time to start!
