Hi, there! So glad you've found your way to my website. I've been a Close to My Heart consultant for over 18 years now. I have been a customer for over 24! I have seen so many changes in the whole scrapbooking hobby and Close to My Heart always strives to stay right on top of things! They have the best products on the market and I love all of them! After retiring from my career job in January, 2021, I retired my scrapbook retreats, known as the Crazy Cropper Scrapbook Retreats after Spring 2023! I will now be able put my focus on my CTMH business. Now, I enjoy being a vendor at scrapbook retreats! I get to spend more time with people and share my love for CTMH! Don't hesitate to email me if you have any questions!
