Warm hearts in this cold season..and more
- send a last-minute card to someone long-distance;
- give a call if you don't have the address or don't want to send the card;
- if it's near by, just stop by and give a warm hug in person (how sweet!);
- pray for some person you haven't heard for a while...we never know;
- pay a visit to local foster home and send in some treats or sweets...the children will sure to love;
- give up some coats or sweaters you just don't need anymore and pass on to some homeless people;
- make a special donation for the missionary group of your church - this may be a great action to help them out while far away from their home town.
And these things are sure to keep many - or lots of hearts warm, even in the toughest weather!
May you and your have a WARM beautiful - wonderful - joyful Christmas!!

NOVEMBER SWEET DEAL - STAMPAGANZA!

Sharing a story
“Two days after the fire, we were rummaging through the ashes to look for some valuable jewelry and a friend came upon the scrapbooks. The table they were on was totally gone, as were most of the rest of our belongings, and both scrapbooks were badly burned but still fairly intact on the outside. We took them both out of the house and started looking at them and were super surprised to see that many of the photos were salvageable!
“However it happened, the Memory Protectors® sealed together and preserved most of the pages. We lost photos from the edges of some of the pages because of burning, and lost some to moisture from the water and chemicals used to try to put out the fire. But we were able to salvage an incredible amount out of those books. Both the albums and Memory Protectors were from Close To My Heart.”
“We just wanted to let you know how well your products did in such an extreme situation and that we have told all of our fellow scrapbookers about our ordeal.”

Up to date: September card kit drawing- good news!!
The unique scallop shape of the cards is beautiful. And how cool is the coordinated-shaped stamps that comes within the set! What a great idea! Not only can it be used on the cards in this set, but you can also use the stamp in so many other ways...and the best thing is: the card set is SO generic! It suits for both guys and gals!
Got card makers on your Christmas list...(or if they want it for Christmas to tell their significant others) this is a great gift and they can get their shopping done early!
