- I’ve ‘traded in’ my Constant Contact account for a new online account with Northridge Media (aka Scrapbook Trends, Card Trends, etc.). Yes, your email newsletters will be a little less snazzy, BUT I will have a world of inspiration to add to my monthly workshops in conjunction with my trusty CTMH idea books (including the new Magic…hold on…I just fainted.). And…
- I still haven’t pulled the trigger on changing my upline (this is a direct sales business for those who don’t know)! CTMH and all my paper products, tools and gizmos are an addiction to me!! My dear fellow consultant Margot is waiting patiently for me to make the switch, but I am mentally unable to take 6 months ‘off’! (I have control issues :) ) Any advice in that regard would be greatly appreciated! Incidentally, as a result I still don't have a website. If you'd like to take a look at the current products online, please give me a buzz and I'll point you in the right direction!
Monthly Scrap Workshops ('UFO')!!!
Yes our beloved UFO nights will continue into 2011!! They are so much a part of my psyche now I’ll be here no matter what! :)
For the newbies: ‘UFO’ stands for “unfinished foto object”…yes, a very loose interpretation of the more commonly used “unfinished fabric object” popular with quilting circles. In many ways we are very much like the quilting circles of old: we gather as women with all of our laugher and emotions and wonderful stories and learn more than just scrapbooking techniques. It’s uplifting and energizing and productive! Every month you’ll go home with a summary of your previous month’s memories and maybe one too many pieces of chocolate. :)
Fee: $20 (pay for 3 in advance and receive 10% off!!)
Time: 7:30pm – 10:30pm
Location: The Scrap Lounge
Days: Generally the 3rd Thursday and Friday of each month.
January 20, 21 – Mistletoe (still time to RSVP!)
February 17, 18 – *NEW* Miracle (you’ll recognize this one…it is WONDERFUL!!)
March 17, 18 - *NEW* Sweetheart
April 21, 22 - *NEW* Mayberry

New CTMH Idea Book Schedule
Surprise!!! Close to My Heart has switched to a 2 Idea Book per year schedule. Yay!!! The book is just a teensy bit thicker but it is JAM PACKED with paper goodness. The Spring/Summer Idea Book goes live Feb 1, but I’ll have preview copies for my UFO’er regulars THIS month! :)
Have I ever been able to wait until the release date?! Uhm. No. So, shhhhhhh….here’s a sneak peek:
Paper: TONS OF IT!!! Note the UFO list above…new new new and NEW! Absolutely lovely. :)
Stamps: My favorite so far is the Pennant Alpha…big, fab size E set!!! (that’s the biggest alpha folks!) With a close second being the Token Alpha…also a big, fab size E. I cannot WAIT! Ack!!!
Accessories: Here is where my heart palpitations always always begin. CTMH did not disappoint yet again! Say it with me: ribbon flowers. And and and…canvas buttons!! And: Spray Pen?!!! HELLO?!!! Wow. :)
And did I mention there are NEW albums?! Oh my. :)
Would you like to get one in your hot little hands asap? These fabulous, packed Idea Books are free with a $25 order my friends!!! Don't wait! Supplies are definitely limited.
Well, I do believe that's it in a very large nutshell for January. :) If you have any questions or would like to rsvp, please don't hesitate to give me shout! heather.peplinski@gmail.com

Club for 2011
After a great deal of thought and consideration I’ve decided not to do Club again in 2011. I simply can’t put enough time into making it as awesome as I want it to be for clubbers! I’m sorry. You can still take advantage of hostess benefits tho’!!! You can host a gathering (yes, I still do shows!), gather a few orders for a catalog show, even plan reeeeeeeaaalllly early for next Christmas. ;) Here’s the BEST part!!! ½ price items start at the $250 mark (used to be $350)!!! Are you thinking Ink Organizer? $69.95 becomes $34.98! How about ½ price on a year of Studio J with an album?! $108.95 becomes $54.48! Sing it with me "Faaaabulooouuuusssss!"
