Deal of the Day- June CTMH Special

I don't know about you but I have been checking my CTMH website every day to see what the daily special is. I bought the 1st Great Goodie Box offered and already received my goodies!! Today was the 4th of 6 Great Goodie Boxes and I bought that one too. Have you bought one? Just check daily at http://brandy.myctmh.com after 10am Manitoba time to see the latest special.

June Website Special~ Deal Of the Day

Can you believe that we are almost half way through 2009? Wow, does time ever fly!

Close To My Heart is celebrating the month of June with an incredible special!! Well, 30 incredible specials to be exact. Each day in June there is a different special available through MYCTMH Websites only http://brandy.myctmh.com. There are ample quantities available so shopping during off peak hours will provide you the best shopping experience.

The Special runs from June 1st to June 30th and each new Deal Of The Day begins at 10am Manitoba Time. You can shop the deal of the day for 23 hours. The 24th hour is when we get ready to launch the next deal of the day.

There will be two different types of “deals” offered on Tier II MyCTMH sites through this exciting promotion:

1. Receive a free item with a qualifying purchase. On 24 of the 30 days in June, you can receive a specially-selected current product absolutely free (tax does apply on free items in the US) when you purchase a My Acrylix® stamp set, size A, B, C, D, or E (excluding Stamp of the Month, customized or K-size sets, and Art & Soul featured stamp sets). The free product will change daily and there can be only one free item per order. Shoppers will also save big on shipping when orders meet all Deal-a-Day guidelines. Please read on for shipping requirements.

2. Receive 50% off or more on “Great Goodies” boxes. On 6 of the 30 days in June, you can purchase a “mystery” box filled with “Great Goodies.” Contents will vary by box and include both current and retired favorite stamp sets, paper packs, embellishments, and other great products. The six “Great Goodies” boxes will all have different pricing of at least 50% off retail, with some at even deeper discounts! Note that we have made every effort to differentiate the 6 “Great Goodies” options so you can purchase boxes on different dates and receive a wide variety of differing products! No qualifying purchase is required on the days a “Goodies” box is the deal; discounted shipping is also available when orders meet all Deal-a-Day guidelines. Please read on for shipping requirements.

In order to qualify for the deal of the day where you receive a free item with the purchase of a stamp set, you must first put in your cart the stamp set you want to buy. There can be nothing else in your cart. Once your stamp set (A, B, C, D or E) is in your cart, you can then add the deal of the day. The reason for this is that your shipping cost is only $4. You read it right, free items and just $4 shipping, what a deal!

Great Goodie Boxes are a bit different. There is no purchase required in order to qualify for this cool deal. When you order a great goodie box, it is the only item you may have in your cart to get the deal. Again, shipping is reduced for this special. There will be 6 days of great goodie boxes available. You may make more than one transaction per day but just 1 goodie box in your cart per transaction.

Great Goodies Boxes Shipping/HandlingShipping will be based on the price of each Great Goodies box, but will be deeply, deeply discounted and represent only a fraction of the value of the contents. Shipping pricing will be clearly posted at checkout on each day that a Great Goodies box is offered.

As a little hint, Great Goodies boxes shipping to the continental US will range from just $6-$10. Boxes shipping to Alaska, Hawaii, APO/FPO, Puerto Rico and other non-continental addresses will range from $8-$32, and boxes shipping to Canada will range from $13-$22 CAN. As another peek: note that the retail value of these boxes will range as high as $300 US! This is going to be an incredible value for shoppers all the way around.

Be sure to visit my website daily so you don’t miss any of the cool deals. http://brandy.myctmh.com

Monthly Hostess Club Nights...

It's been awhile since I last posted. I have taken some time off due to having had surgery. I am so excited for the next week to fly by because I am looking forward to our monthly Hostess Club Night. I am very fortunate to have a group of friends who love to come over to "play" once a month. Jodi, Michelle, Carrie, Laura Lee, Teresa & Lisa will be making the Bella Workshop.

I'm thrilled to announce a 2nd group of great friends also starting Hostess Club, group 2 in June! Please help me to welcome Shawna, Ann, Alissa, Mary Ann & Melanie. They will be making the Animal Cookies Workshop. We do have one spot left for Hostess Club #2 so if you're interested, please email me at leesgang@xplornet.com for details.

Back from CTMH Regional Celebration in Calgary

I'm back home and into reality again. It was a surreal week in Calgary meeting so many consultants from all over Canada. It was great to put faces to names! We received a tonne of FREE product from our New Summer Idea Book, made (4) 2 page layouts, a memory keeper box, 2 cards & a ring of stamping techniques taught by Jeanette Lynton herself. The business classes were very inspiring:)

I was so surprised to win 1 year FREE Propay for being 4th highest sales on my MYCTH Website. Jeanette also gave me a personalized stamp set during our 1 hour as Advisory Board Members.

Thank you to my amazing room mates, Anne & Michelle - We had a blast and are already planning our next adventure to Long Beach Leadership at the end of July.

To the entire clan of Ontario girls, it was great to meet up with you for supper on Thursday night. In the photo, you see Joy Maertens, Wendy Dodds & Samantha Day smiling pretty for the camera during a creative session.

A shout out to Corporate, you put on amazing events and always make each one of us feel special.

I love my picture with Jeanette, such a down to earth woman and a HUGGER!

February Crop

We had a great crop yesterday with 9 ladies and a ton of yummy food! Thank you to everyone who came and made it a huge success. I look forward to seeing you again at our next crop on March 21st.

Hi again!

It's been a whirl wind around here since I posted last. I've been scrappin up a storm while looking after my kids with the flu. (Yuk) I hope to get around to posting some more pictures of recent layouts in the next few days for all to enjoy. I came upon a new online group today called Stampin' Canada! I tell you there's going to be tons of fun and inspiration here. Check out their site at http://www.stampincanada.com/.

Burrrr...

Well, it's super cold here today at -41. I can't believe January is already coming to an end. I lent out all my scrap stuff for the day so it's time to do that laundry and house cleaning that has got away from me. I re-organized my scraproom last week and was so inspired to create. I managed to complete ten 2 page LO's! Boy did that feel good.
