Ring in the NEW YEAR!!

Hello everyone,

Just wanted to let you know that I have been in a bit of a slump lately, but I am VERY MUCH looking forward to an exciting 2010!! I am working hard to get the January calendar prepared and posted, as well as get other things together.

In 2010 we will be adding a Copic Marker Club!!! Yep, I went to Eau Claire, WI for certification with these awesome markers and am looking forward to bringing classes your way. I have put a lot of time into finding the closest colors I could to the Close To My Heart color palette so that all of our artwork we create with the Close To My Heart products will be as beautiful as can be. So, be sure to watch for upcoming details. The club will start in February, but the deadline to sign up for the first class will be in January. I have to order the markers, and since they are high quality and not inexpensive, I will ONLY order for those that have paid for and reserved their spots. At February's class, you will receive the information for the March class, but it will need to be paid for in February..........

Anyway, there will be another calendar club that will begin in March or April, be watching for that information as well.

The kits of the month this Idea Book cycle are AMAZING! I am having a WONDERFUL time getting the samples together so that you may physically see how beautiful they are. I think I am in love with ALL FOUR new paper packs this go 'round!

Ohhhhh, and do I have something GREAT to share with all of you SOON! I have also been busy playing with Studio J! It is still in it's BETA form being tested by the Close To My Heart Consultants, but should be released this spring for all of our customers. You will LOVE this! I will never fully be a Studio (digital) scrapbooker because I like the feel of the products in my hands, but this sure is a great alternative to play catch up, to make a gift, to experiment with. However, if you ARE into Studio (digital) scrapbooking, you are going to LOVE this product!! NO upfront costs, NO downloading software to your computer, you pay NOTHING to try to product out, to create your artwork.......you ONLY pay when you ORDER your finished product! It's sooooo exciting, I cannot wait to share it with you!

So, although I have been MIA (missing in action), I am gearing up for a FANTABULOUS (yeah I know, it's not a REAL word) year in 2010.

Happy New Year to all of you. Have a safe and happy holiday. Things will be in full swing again at My Creative Clubhouse beginning Monday, January 4th. Hope to see LOTS of all of you!
