Help with a goal!
Close to my Heart has just given us a fantastic opportunity.....they are giving a trip for two to Australia to one lucky person who attends Convention. I am going to receive my 20th year award this year and I want to say:1. I couldn’t do this without YOU….and I am so blessed & amazed once again of your continued support!! I am so THANKFUL for MANY of you that I now call friends. We most likely wouldn’t have met if I hadn’t been a part of CTMH…what a Blessing!!!
I want to continue to be here for YOU & help you in the BEST way I know how. J THANK YOU!!
2. To help with a GOAL I am trying to reach that CTMH gave to each of us that are consultants. J
Oh what FUN…I adore my CTMH Family, and when they offer a challenge…I like to give it my best!!!
So – what are they offering to us as Consultants???
For those of us Consultants that are registered to go to Convention 2015 in Disneyland, CA….(yup…I’m registered!!)
we have the opportunity to have our names put into a drawing toWIN a trip for 2 to Brisbane, Australia!!
yes – you read correctly (believe me…I had to read it a couple of times to allow it to sink in – LOL!)
I have been BLESSED beyond measure with the trips I have EARNED through CTMH….but to WIN a trip to a place we’ve never been? Oh it’s FUN to dream AND I will give it my best as I try to get my name entered as many times as I can into this drawing!!
****So – how do your purchases help??
By attending Convention this year – my name is already in the drawing…HOWEVER…
with EVERY $1000 in sales I sell from May 1-31st…I get another ticket entered towards winning that trip!!!
For everyone who places an order with me or on my website I will send you a homemade card.
(similar to this one) Your name will be put in a drawing to win tons of prizes.
This is easy.....look at this month's special. These papers are so bright and colorful and you can get a matching stamp set. Remember this will be gone at the end of the month. The card above features the new Jackson paper and my previous blog post features the new Blossom paper. Great products in Seasonal Expressions 2. So order today and help me get another chance
for a trip of a lifetime.
Thanks
