Thanks again for joining the fun!!

Some could say I saved the best for last!

As we head into the 6:00 hour, some may think the best was saved for last. Even though I love everything in the New Idea Books... Doing something with it all is my favorite part!!

As some of you may know... I just moved from Northern Az. to Southern Or. 

During this time of change I have decided to add some new services for my customers. In doing so I hope to help those who love to craft, but need a little help! 

Join my Workshop on the Go Club!

• Each month we will work on a New Kit
• Each month there will be a new hostess that will get hostess rewards. Who doesn't like free stuff?
• This will be a Facebook group, each month I will post step by step instructions to go along with the instructions that come in the Kit.
• Each month we will post pictures of our finished art work and win prizes
• Each month the cost will be $30 + shipping and tax for your area

Join my Card Kit Club!

• Each month we will work on a New Kit

*All club hostesses will be on a Ladder system... hostesses will go in order of when they join the club. After you are the hostess, your name goes to the bottom of the list and works its way back up. If for some reason you are unable to participate for a month... your name goes to the bottom of the list to work your way back up, but you are still a part of the club and will be hostess at some point.

*To join any of the above clubs, just comment here or message me on Facebook, Email me at eagarkramer@gmail.com or call/text me at 602-686-2854.

Are you wondering how to get your hands on both of these inspiring Idea Books?
You can always look online at www.4heartsscrapbooking.ctmh.com. Or to get them in your hot little hands... you can do this one of two ways. #1 Place an order on my website and one will be added by CTMH to your order. #2 Join one of my clubs and one will be shipped to you by me!

For this last hour of my Online Open House... post a comment to be entered into my drawing about what you did today when you were not checking in on my blog? Do you have a job outside the home?  Do you have little kiddos at your feet all day? Or were you lucky, and crafting all day??

*Comment on any post anytime during the day to be entered into the drawing. Last prize of the day will be pulled from the names at the very end of the day. So you have all day!!

It's five o'clock... somewhere

Here in Oregon it's 5:00 and time to talk about our last paper pack... Urban.

I just love how manly and rugged this set looks! Topped off perfectly by these Complements and Assortments.

And a Workshop on the Go Kit so good... even the toughest of guys could make it!!

Nothing sweeter than a baby's smile!

No matter if it's 4:00 in the after noon or that 4:00 a.m. feeding... there is nothing better than a baby's smile!

You may or may not know that Close to my Heart has partnered up with Operation Smile for years, helping babies and children all around the world fix mouth problems and give them a new smile! I am so excited to be a part of this amazing partnership!!

And YOU can be too!!

When you buy this Animal Greetings stamp set found on the back page of the A.I. book, $7 will be donated by CTMH to Operation Smile.

It only takes $240 to fix a beautiful smile like this!

While you are thinking of babies... think of sweet "Georgie" found on page 76 in the A.I. book.

Find it on page 112 in the A.I. book.

For this 4:00 hour... post a comment telling how many kids you have and are you catching up, ahead or thinking about starting their scrapbooks/baby books?

Trendy and Girly!

When you see the words... Trendy and Girly... do you think of only those words or do you think outside the box?

This hour I am going to focus on the Instalife line found on page 126 of the A.I. book... which could be seen as very Trendy!
Perfect for a Mommy and Me project, Young Women's activity book, or a brag book.

Capture all of life's little moments!

With two adorable mini albums to pick from.

Two sets of Cards to add to your albums...

And two must have Roller Stamps!

Now when you hear the word "Girly" do you think about tea parties, dolls and dress up? Or do you think of Spring, flowers and candy??

This colorful Kaleidoscope paper pack can be all of those things and more!

Find this line on page 60 of the A.I. book.

This set is a real Gem! With brightly colored Complements and Assortments.

Celebrate with this party themed Workshop on the Go Card Kit.

For this 3:00 hour... post a comment about someone in your life that is either always Trendy or very Girly.

You color my State?

New colors is not all that has come along in this new Idea book from CTMH... How about New Watercolor Paints, Paintbrushes,.. to add to our colorful collection of Watercolor Pencils, and ShinHan Touch Twin Markers found on page 146 of the A.I. book! 

If you haven't tried Fundamentals Paper yet... now is the time... because it just got better! Now you can get these glossy patterned papers in CTMH's four color groups still... but now you can also get Sticker Packs and Assortments!

Find them all on page 108 of the A.I. book.

"Home is where the heart is!"

Collect all 50 states... send love from any state to another. Or if you are like me... make a "We have moved" card with the state you came from and the one you are in now.

For this 2:00 hour... post a comment letting us know what state you are posting from.
