All of you crafters know that this, of course is a crafter's moment.  I have been so crazy busy lately that there has been very little creativity going on in my house.  Soon I will have scrapbook pages but I was inspired by p. 16 of our May/June 2020 Idea Book to create a graduation card for Hannah.  The Idea Book can be can download by clicking on the link to the right if you don't have yours.

The events are completely free and open to everyone to view, however the events will be centered around workshop kits or bundles, so you may want to purchase the workshops if you want to craft along during the event.

I have heard that during some past Facebook Live events there was some spam activity in the comments and links were posted asking for payment. Please be cautious about clicking on links posted in the comments, especially any that request payment. Please be aware that Close To My Heart will not post links asking for payment in the comments of the Facebook Live videos; this event is free and you only need to purchase a workshop kit if you want to create the projects that the CTMH staff will be creating during the Live event. I hope you will be able to create along with us (I hope to be able to attend each one) during the Facebook Live events. If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to me. Have a great weekend!
