I am back to "world reality" after a great trip to CA from July 29 until August 2. I had the opportunity to spend time with sister CTMH consultants. We are all interested in improving and expanding our CTMH businesses and to bring you - our customers - the best scrapping, stamping and papercrafting products, opportunities to learn and customer service! As always we will help you complete it faster, simpler, easier, just let me show you how!

The first day was spent with a group of amazing Scattered Heart women. We are all under the leadership of Tina Sutton and she took care of us by offering a day of classes and creative time presented by some of the leaders on her team. After spending the day enjoying Chocolate University, CTMH events started that evening with registration and a creative crop using some of the new Fall 2009 products! These will be available to order begining September 1st! Speaking of which...FIRST PERSON TO BOOK A HOME GATHERING OFF OF MY BLOG RECEIVES A NEW STAMP SET FROM ME IN ADDITION TO WHAT THEY EARN OFF OF THEIR GATHERING TOTAL! Book this gathering by contacting me at 507-732-7642 and letting me know if you want to hold your gathering at your place or mine. Yes, you don't have to even get ready if you select to hold it at my place! Don't delay long before booking - only the first one booked gets this special offer.

Do you want to see the new CTMH papers and products? Come to my Open House to be held on Thursday evening, September 3 from 7-8:30pm. RSVP that you are coming and you will be able to take home a new Fall Idea Book, free of charge! Bring a friend new to CTMH and both receive an additional gift from me. Place an order for more than $25.00 and also receive a gift. There will be many ways to get great new fall products that night.

I wanted to hold the Open House on a Saturday, but here is how my Saturday's are shaping up for September. The 5th is open for a gathering in the afternoon, the 12th is the Zumbrota Area's ART SPLASH - mark your calendars and plan to attend this fun self guided studio tour! Great art to see (and purchase) - I will be displaying handwoven baskets for sale. The 19th is an open date, but I couldn't wait that long to have my first showing of the Fall Idea Book. Instead, this date will be a card workshop using new fall paper called Jingle - so will focus on Christmas Cards, but will show how versitile this paper is. We will spend from 10 til noon working on 6 to 10 card ideas. You will need to RSVP and pay for the paper pack by September 8 so I can order the paper packs. See more details about this on my CTMH website at http://jeanie.myctmh.com/. On Saturday, September 26th I will be holding a ScrapPink event. Part of your registration fee will be dontated to the Susan G. Koman Foundation for breast cancer research. All details for this day should be available in a couple weeks, but save the date for a special scrapping event!

During the next week, I will share some more information about new products being offered by CTMH.
