Had to give up my Consultant position with Close To My Heart

I can't believe it has been almost a month since I last posted anything here. We have been busy with the grandkids being home from school and life in general. Mike and I just got home from a 9 day trip to Cincinnati to visit with family and reunite with some old fiends. Had a wonderful time but we were glad to get back home. I am looking forward to our next trip which is a Cruise to the Bahamas in August. Neither Mike nor I have ever been on a cruise so it should be quite an adventure for us.

Now, as far as crafting goes, I haven't had the time to get much done but after we get home from the cruise, I plan on getting back into the groove.
Unfortunately, I am no longer a consultant with Close to My Heart. I still plan on
buying product from them but I could not generate enough sales to maintain my consultant status. So, now I am waiting patiently for the new Idea Book to come out on August 1st. to see what amazing new products they come out with.

CTMH Amore Quilt Card

This is a card I made for a friend of mine that loves to make quilts. She is a dear sister in Christ that goes to my church. Made with CTMH Amore paper pack and Stickease.

Vacation Bible School at Lakeside

Well,our week of Vacation Bible School at church is now over. We did not get as many kids as we would have liked but it was a success for the ones that were there. The theme was Son Quest Rainforest. Rhonda and a few of the other people drew,cut out and painted scenery backdrops and animals seen in the rainforest. The church looked amazing. We had videos, stories, songs and dance,snacks and games that tied in to whatever the message was for that day. The kids had a blast. Three of my grandsons attended for the first time. They have all decided to go to church with me now. I am so very happy about that. I feel blessed to have been a part of the whole thing but I am happiest that I was able to encourage my grandsons to go.
