Here are pics of new Items in the Autumn Winter 2013 Idea book.

First off how about the New Idea book cover?

And the New "Artbooking" Cricut cartridge. Yes you heard me right, we have a NEW Cricut Cartridge.  They've done it again, packed it full of AWESOME images to cut.  I'm taking Pre-Orders now. Just send me an email.
Look at this little mini book, isn't it cute?
Yeah more shapes.
It's themed again and has at least 10 Mini Books.  It still comes as a bundle with 3 - D sized stamp sets and 3 - chipboard packs.  Again it is $99.00. 

My Crush books are new, CTMH's version of Smash books.  They fit right into your purse so they are easy to carry with you.  Only $12.95 each.

 There are 60 10" x 7" printed cardstock pages. We have assortments for $4.95 each  and stamps that match the Crush books, for just $9.95.  Look for 6 crush books total.
 There's a new Photo Frame. 
This is Awesome, and yes this is new paper, called Pro Player.  I already love this paper and the stamps that match.  
It's going to be perfect for my  Grandsons' pages.


Baby Cakes is another paper pack.  I'll show more paper later.

We now have our own line of Jewelry.  It is the Base and you get to design or add anything you want and make it the way you like it.  I'm sure I'll have to play with that.


We now have Designed Decor


We also have Hostess Rewards now too.  

This was the first day of Convention and they have already blown me away with all this new COOL stuff.  I can't wait to see what the unveil today.

I will be placing an order on August 1, 2013, for those wishing to pre-order any of the new items, just send me an email with the list and information to contact you.  

Until tomorrow!!!

Happy Scrappin',

My New Facebook Page

I have started a new Business Facebook page and would love for you all to go check it out and give me some feedback, maybe even "like" my page if you wish.  I started working on it in December but just recently changed some things about it.  Please click on the link below and let me know what you think.

https://www.facebook.com/janicewilsonCTMH?ref=hl

This is the profile pic I chose to use on both Facebook and Pintrest.

I plan on posting there as often as possible.  Sharing everything that I do with Close To My Heart.   As you know CTMH Convention starts in just 2 days and I will be posting everything that I see coming from convention.  I'm not going to convention but I have lots of friends who are and they will be sharing everything.  All the new products and supplies.  I am excited about the new products, I don't know what they are yet, but I know they will be great.  There are so many products on the retired list that CTMH just brought out in the last two Idea books that what ever they have in store for us is going to AWESOME.  Watch for my posts to my blog and to my new Facebook page.

I am also converting my Pinterest sight over to a business page so watch for changes there too.  Here is a link to my pinterest page.  http://pinterest.com/janicewilson64/boards/

If you like what you see on my Facebook and Pinterest pages please pass on the links to your friends so that they can check the pages out too.

Thanks in advance.

New Baby Chicks AGAIN!!!

I went out to make sure that Ebony, my black banty hen had put her babies to bed, she's been taking them out during the day and hunkering down outside at night, but with all the rain we've been having I make her move them inside.  These three were hatched on June 11th.
When my grandchildren and Great neices and Nephew come over and want to hold the chicks I have to pick up Ebony so that she doesn't peck them.  She doesn't seem to mind too much, just sits in my arm until they start squawking, then she tries to get loose.  I want the kids to handle them so that they are mellow when they grow up.  The more we handle them the more mellow they seem to be.  I like that because I have to pick them up sometimes and I don't like chasing them.

So when I made her move the babies inside I decided to check for eggs and heard a chick cheeping on the upper level of the coop.  I knew I had Josephine brooding, but didn't expect new chicks yet.
 If you look really close you can see a tiny face peeking out at the end of her wing feathers, right where the fluff lightens.  There is a broken shell on the floor behind her too. So I picked up her wing and sure enough this is what I found hiding under her.
 It is mostly black, but I could see feathers on it's legs.  It is a tiny one too, so most likely it is a banty.  I checked to see if there were any more and there is one more egg that I could see.  Hopefully by morning it will hatch too.  Josephine isn't as cranky as Ebony was.  Josephine scooted around until the chick came out where I could see it.  Just like her momma Sara Svati did when Josephine hatched.

I love watching the babies grow.  Can you tell I'm excited.

Happy Scrappin',

Janice

Don't forget to join my "Red Cross Tornado Relief" Mystery hostess online gathering.

I started this "Red Cross Tornado Relief" with a Mystery Hostess Online gathering to help the Oklahoma families and I will be donating 10% of my commission from sales made from  June 4th through June 30, 2013 to the Red Cross.  Plus one lucky customer will be chosen to be the Mystery Hostess and they will receive $25.00 in FREE Close To My Heart select products.  When shopping, make sure you select Join the "Red Cross Relief" With Mystery Hostess Online Gathering to have your purchase count and I encourage you to purchase a "Thank you" stamp for yourself and an additional stamp for a friend.  The order will be sent directly to you.  While you are there, make sure to take advantage of the Stamp of the month Flowering Bunch!  I will report back on the 1st of July as to how many stamps I have sold as well as the amount generated through my commission that will be donated to the American Red Cross! I will also announce the one lucky Mystery Hostess.   My thanks in advance to each of you!  

  


So far I have sold 5 Thank you stamp sets.


My June sales so far are 389.50 so I will be donating at least 38.95 to the Red Cross unless my sales increase.  Please help me get the numbers up.  I would love to donate $100.00 to the relief fund as the storms just keep hitting Oklahoma. 

Take a look at our retired list as those items will only be available while supplies last.

Update on the new Baby Chicks.

Well, I am running behind on the updates, but it's been a crazy around here.  I'll post about that later.

Ebony (momma chicken) has been taking the chicks outside, but sometimes the little ones either can't get out of the coop cause the doorway is too tall, or they get left outside when she goes in.  I put a blocks inside and outside of the coop tonight, hopefully that will help them get in and out better.  They are so cute.  Here are some new pics I took on Thursday.


Ebony doesn't really like us picking up the chicks, so I pick her up first and then the kids can pick up the chicks without getting pecked at.  I hope they are all hens.  I don't need any more roosters.  Especially BIG ones.  

Happy Scrappin',
