If you have an order over $150, you will be entitled to hostess credit so please email me those orders by July 29th. I am moving the 30 and 31 and will not be able to enter any orders during that time, we will not have internet up and running until Aug 1. Please look over this list to make sure you do not miss out on a product or paper kit you wanted to purchase. Thanks!

Little tidbit for today!
So, here is a sneak peek of another item for you. Its our scroll album! The album was made to sit horizatonally on a shelf or mantel, but a consultant at convention ( whose name I didn’t get so I apologize I cannot give credit where it is due!) suggested doing it vertically and hanging it. So I tried it that way. Working on a craft table partially packed for moving was an experience and as a result a couple of my pics are crooked! I also attempted to do a video and did my first upload on youtube of it a little slower. And of course my camera was crooked! ha! oh well, you all get the idea. This is a workshop on the go that will be available after August 1.

Exciting news!
So much exciting news!
First off, my family and I are moving to a house in Wyoming. We had planned to a little later in life but the perfect house came open for us, and we found a renter for our current house. More good news, my “half” of the "basement is big enough to have a workshop in, so I will be able to offer more workshops! I was hindered before trying to find places to hold them, especially after Panera stopped reserving their room. I am very excited! We will be moving the end of this month and I hope to have a workshop in September. Keep checking back and keep checking your emails for my updated newsletter. If you are not receiving my newsletter, please email me at nikkidscraftyemail@gmail.com so I can get you added. I also hope to have a fall idea book kick off after we are moved in and settled.
I just returned from our National Convention in Dallas TX. It was a great time and each day for the rest of the month I will post a little tidbit or a teaser picture of new product! :)
Some of the biggest news- it is only $49 to become a consultant with Close to My Heart! AND if you sign up in August, while supplies last you will get this $50 bag we received at convention FOR FREE! Not only do you get business supplies and lots of product for signing up, you can get this cute bag. Isn’t is awesome? But sign up right in the beginning of August, there are only a couple thousand of these bags and they will go QUICKLY! So whether you would like to supplement your income, or simply want a discount on our products, NOW is the time! Contact me for more details!
AND, since I am so excited, I will give you two tidbits today. Close to My Heart also is releasing a brand new cricut cartridge! It has over 700 images on it, and lots of cute boxes, tags and shapes! This cartridge is different than the Art Philosophy collection from last year.
Introducing, Artiste’! Available August 1. Contact me for your fall idea book and to book your fall gathering to purchase this cartridge at half price!

Getting ready for convention!!
Well a few more days andI will be off to Convention in Dallas! If you would like updates on Convention please check my facebook page or follow me one Twitter! https://twitter.com/NikkiDscrafty
Here are a couple of layouts I did tonight. I accidentally packed the pictures to use on the footloose layout so I will have to wait till I move to finish it!
This one was from last month with our hometown favorites that have been a staple in our city for many, many years!
This is the July club layout for the members that chose footloose. Hoping to have the Lucy kit up tomorrow!
