2 Months Old



Levi is now 2 months old!


Here he is with some new shades for those sunny desert days. Big sister, Leia sneaked in to the picture. She is so proud!

Thursday, June 18, 2009

Thank you! and need your help, please.

I am so happy to report that many bids were accepted. I am so glad that some of you who were undecided about coming took the chance and made bids. I can not wait to see you in July. Thank you for making this game successful!

But I still need your help: One of the bidders needs a roommate. Please contact me asap if you would like to receive a discount to become her roommate. Or if you are already coming to the Retreat and are willing to open your room up to another roommate.

Game 2

Now- July 9th

GAME 2


Guess the Gift! I said that we were going to celebrate my wedding anniversary... Guess the gift from my hubby. No cheating and no asking him. Here are the details: My Wedding Anniversary is July 10 and I will be at the Desert Scrappers Weekend Retreat. BooHoo, maybe! So let's all guess what he will do. Guesses will be accepted until July 9th. The winner(s) will receive a free retreat. Some details: If the guess is only partly correct you will get a percentage off one Close To My Heart item. Even though you may play both games any combination of prizes is not allowed.

Example guess:

Hubby will have flowers delivered
-Actual gift: hubby has flowers & chocolates delivered
Guesser receives 50% off One CTMH item of your choice!**


Some rules haven't been included, here. Please contact Laura for any question/concerns.

Hello!
It's June already! Time for the kids to be done with school. Plus lots of Dads and Grads day activities. This always means lots of card making for me. Good thing Close To My Heart has some great new card kits, these cards look like they were made from scratch but in a fraction of the time. This is much needed with a new baby at home.
I'm SO EXCITED to announce our June Special! Opps, did I say Special? I meant SpecialS! That's right! It's more than one great deal. Try 30 great deals!!!! One new deal each day!
