28th Wedding Anniversary


Meet my Honey! Duke & I have been together since we were 17 yrs old. We meet in high school in a select choir. We dated for 2 1/2 yrs and then got married. The road has been bumpy but we did it together.

1 month ago we found out Duke had a brain tumor. After surgery to remove the tumors (there were 2) we found out it was cancer! Needless to say it's been a rough month....notice the lack of posts? That's why.

So I ask for your patience and your prayers...we start radiation tomorrow at 1:50pm and will have a standing appointment for the next 5 weeks with chemo pills at night. Please pray that the radiation will permeate Duke's brain and kill the cancer cells, that Duke's brain will be protect. Also pray for continued healing of his mental facilities.

Thank you

Rock the Block





Did you think I had fallen off the planet? Well, in a way I have. My family has been dealing with a serious health issue of my husband's and life has changed for us...dramatically! But I wanted to share this fun stamp set and promotion that will be ending at the end of the month.

I have used the stamp set in the Rock the Block promotion and Lagoon ink. I decided I need to simplify my life and went for a single layer card, ink and alittle Glitz glitter. As you can see I used just one of the stamps in the awesome set and a new sentiment from the Spring/Summer Idea book.

What until you see the new book! It is beautiful! I'll be sharing more in the near future.

I hope that you will be patient with me as I gain my feet again. And if you think of it, please say a prayer for my huband & my family for healing and restoration!

Enjoy your day!

16 Years and Counting......


              I am celebrating 16 years with the best company
                                 in the whole, wide world!


16 years ago I went to my first stamp party at my Aunt's house. When she invited me to her party I wondered why anyone would have a "stamp" party. I was thinking postage stamps, like what you put on an envelope to mail something. Back then there weren't craft or scrapbooking stores. Imagine my surprise when the demonstrator started showing this amazing product and making fabulous cards.

That was the start of a wonderful career for me with Close To My Heart, though when I joined the company it was called D.O.T.S. I joined the company just for the discount and it has turned into an opportunity to make some extra cash, meet wonderful people and share my art.

I love the direction the company has taken all these years and look forward to many more.

To celebrate my anniversary I am offering a special this month. With any order placed this month I will gift you with 16% off your order!! No minimum, no maximum!! All orders must be placed with me through email or phone. Online orders will not qualify for the discount. So send me your order and I'll apply the discount for you!!

Enjoy your day!!!
