Well it's official.

I am now a Close to My Heart Consultant. I signed up Friday night under a women I met (over the phone) through my dear friend Mimi.
So, to start my business I attended my first crop in 5 years. I had no idea what to bring. I have a nice scraproom of my own to work in and I never know what I am going to do till I get started. My stash is what gives me inspiration. Anyway, the hostess was a Creative Memories Consultant, and her home was filled with boxes and such from her business. She showed me all the new Creative Memories products, and boy did they add a lot to there line. But as lovely as they were, I am still feeling positive about Close To My Heart. For me, there is more room for artistic expression with the the Close To My Heart products. I like to use paints, stamps, and bumpy embellishments. And I will admit...most of my cutting tools are from Creative Memories and I use them every time I scrap.

Most of the women showed up with tons of photos and started to work. One was completing a page like every 3 minutes. Me...I just stared at my one picture and my three sheets of Bazzil cardstock that I did not know what to do with. I also had this cute laser cut 12 x 12 sheet in the shape of daisies and some small embellishments. Some women finished multiple pages. Me...I left with only one that I did not even finished. I did finished it when I got home and I think it is lovely.

I did find the Memory Manager Software to be an amazing tool for organizing photos. So if you are looking for a cool easy way to manage all those pictures you have, I recommend this.

Today, I'm getting my craft room cleaned up and work on my business plan. Big fun!
