Happy May

Happy May!
Happy May everyone. I like the month of May. It brings some nice temperatures and lots of sun. It is the month of my Mom's Birthday and of course Mother's Day. It is the month that we start camping at Oak Lake for the summer. It is also the month that Close To My Heart's Summer Catalogue starts! It is so exciting to see all the new things that Jeanette Lynton and the team at Close To My Heart has put together for us. New in the Summer catalogue is a new volume in the card making how - to's called WISHES! And the exciting news is although it was not supposed to be ready until June it is ready NOW! So starting today you can order the new Wishes Book. I know it will be my first purchase as the rest of the CTMH know how books are wonderful.
We also have the 5 new paper packets and level 1 kits. Not to mention all the new stamp sets and embellishments. Take a peak at them via my website...just click on the picture of the summer catalogue to the left and it will take you to view all the new items.
I don't want to delay you any further so that's it for today.
Take Care
Laurie
