Are You Serious? Wow. Oh MY Word! Did You See This? OH MY!

Those were the first words that came out of my mouth.  I was sharing the new Spring Summer 2014 Idea Book with my Daughter Dawn, while my Son James was in the Kitchen making fun of me because I couldn't finish my sentences.  Every page I turned was another surprise.

This is the best Idea Book ever.  I LOVE all the papers and Stamps and the new Tool.  Yes I said Tool, I could be missing some thing but I only saw 1 super cool tool.  I have been asking Corp. to add these to the Idea Book for a while now.  I truly believe we need real texture and not just an implied texture.  I'll leave it at that.

So, I can show you the cover now, but that is about it.  I will have to wait to show you more.

If you want to get your very own Spring Summer 2014 Idea book early, place a $25.00 order with me or on my website, from the Autumn Winter 2013 Idea Book or the 2013 Holiday Gift Guide between now and January 31st and I will give you one for FREE.  Here is a link to my website janicewilson.ctmh.com.

You won't be disappointed, I assure you.

I will be placing my order on January 1st to get products for the Semi Annual Idea Book Kick Off Party Shannon and I are hosting January 29, 2014.  If you can you should try to be at this one.  We are going to have so much fun.  You can RSVP with me to reserve your spot early.  Bring all your friends and anyone you know who stamps, scrapbooks or makes any kind of paper crafts.

I might not be posting often for the next few weeks as I will be busy designing some party favors, prizes and mini albums.  I can't wait to get started.  Yahoo!!!

The new Consultant kits are changing once again.

If you were contemplating becoming a Close To My Heart Independent Consultant, and you only want to pay the $49.00, now is the time to join.  Here is the  kit you will receive.  Join now.  You only have 5 days left to take advantage of this price.

Close To My Heart has evaluated the benefits of having 2 consultant kits and concluded that for them it is not beneficial.  So as of January 1, 2014 the New Consultant kit will be $99.00 and will include all of the business essentials.

Here is what the new kit will look like.

Either way you decide to join, I would love to have you on my team. I promise to help you with your business in any way that I can.  I am just a phone call, text or email away.

Oh my goodness.

I LOVE the new products,  I can't wait to share them with you all.  Super cute stuff.

The Picture My Life Scrapbooking program is going to be so much fun to use.  There are so many options.   I plan on starting mine with week one of January 2014.  This is all new to me, but I want to try and see how it works. I am so behind on all of my scrapbooking that maybe this will  be easier.  Here's a sneak peek;

Here are the page protector options. 5 Different divided styles to choose from.

 This picture is from the back of the Idea Book.

  

Here are the names of the new Paper packs; Skylark, Ivy Lane, Ariana, Balloon Ride, Jubilee, Timberline and Lollydoodle.

Remember if you would like to get your Spring Summer 2014 Idea Book early just place an order of $25.00 or more from the Autumn Winter 2013 Idea Book or the Holiday Gift Guide either on my website, my email or by phone 503-708-6889 between now and January 31, 2014.  I will give you an Idea book for FREE!

Watch for more sneak peeks as we get closer to February 1st.  January is my Birthday month and I might even open a Mystery Hostess Online Party in January, just to celebrate.  

Keep checking back often, because I will let you know if I do.

The new Close To my Heart Spring Summer 2014 Idea Book is coming!!!

That's right and I am so excited.  I have had a sneak peak at a few of the papers and some of the cards for the new Picture My Life Scrapbooking program, and I can tell you they are AMAZING!!! 

I can't wait to get my hands on one of the new Idea Books and start ordering. I can see so many new Mini Albums already in the works.

There will be lots of Fun, Food and Fantastic Prizes. Start asking friends now to join you for the party.  Make sure to RSVP 503-708-6889 so we can reserve a spot for you and your friends.

I hope everyone is enjoying their Family and Friends.  I know I am.

I haven't joined in on the 30 days of sharing why you are thankful, but I am truly thankful for my Family and Friends, that includes you, my followers.  

I am thankful that I get to see my grandchildren every day. 

I am thankful that I am married to my best friend who supports me in all my adventures, eventually.  

I am thankful for my children who help me with just about any thing I need. 

I am thankful that I am still pain free, 3 years now.  

I am thankful for my family who live near and far.

I am thankful for my friends who keep me sane.
