CTMH Convention Today

Today was the start of Close to My Heart's annual convention at Walt Disney World in Florida.  I will try to post as many updates and sneak peaks as I can.  I was, unfortunately, unable to attend but am stalking all the feeds from fellow consultants who are there.  Stay tuned to catch all the news.

Sneak Peak

A sneak peak at the August SOTM.

"A Chocolate Affair"

My God is an awesome God! Indeed!

  My daughter was driving by herself when her car slid off the road and into some trees.  She managed to come through this banged up, scraped up and with a concussion but no serious injuries.  So very thankful for My God's unfailing love and protection over his children. Thank You, Lord!!

Irresistable!

Last Day of School for the grandsons here in NC

It is hard for me to believe that my daughter, my baby's oldest son is going into High School when school starts up again. Very proud of the young man he is becoming. When school starts, all five boys will be in school. Collin starts High School in 9th. grade, Kyle is in Middle Schhol,going into the 7th. grade. Cody is going into 3rd. grade. Quinn is starting Kindergarten and CJ will begin his schooling in pre-school. They grow up so fast. So much fun watching them grow up but it is also bittersweet. They will be grown and out on their own before I know it. We all need to cherish the moments we have with the young people in our lives.

I am so ready for summer. Are you?

I made this today. I used an older paper pack from CTMH ( I think it was Blue Ribbon ) Loved that set. Butterflies were stamped with CTMH Acrylic Stamp set "Whimsical Wings" B1307.
