Graduation 2020

My beautiful granddaughter Hannah has graduated this year.  I have been blessed by the Lord to have all my grandchildren growing up around me (and those of you who have grandchildren growing up in another part of the country from you know exactly what I mean).  This was her graduation announcement.  This is Hannah and her hairless cat Remmy.


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.

Craft Along Events with Close To My Heart


Join in on www.facebook.com/CloseToMyHeartOfficial on upcoming crafting events listed above.  It will be a great opportunity for everyone to craft along with CTMH staff from the Corporate Office. When you join in you will have an opportunity to learn some new techniques and tips and enter to win exciting giveaways!

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. Each event will begin at 4:00 pm (EDT) and will last for 2–3 hours. The virtual events will be saved to the Facebook page and available for viewing afterwards for anyone who is unable to join live.

The upcoming events are:
*TBA – to be announced at a later date; some are "TBA" because they are collections from the July-August 2020 catalog; the late August dates might be a surprise special similar to National Scrapbooking Day.

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!
