Photo Deals for 3/13-3/20

Here are the no shipping photo deals for the week.

Walgreens- 17 cent prints with the code 17cents. This is not that great a deal so if you don't need them this week I would hold off for a better deal.

CVS- 50 Free Prints for new memembers. If you are lucky enough to have a CVS and you haven't set up a photo account with them, they are offering 50 free prints when you sign up. Select in store pickup to avoid shipping costs. If you already have an account, you can try to create a new one with a different email address. I know Walgreens lets you do this, don't know for sure about CVS.

My CTMH Story

How Did I Get In This Business?

Prior to joining Close To My Heart I was a scrap booker only. I had never dabbled into card making and stamping because I had only seen the wooden stamps. They seemed like to much trouble and would take up too much space. I had actually never heard of Close To My Heart before I attended my upline’s Jump Start party. We made a cute mini album and I was intrigued. A few weeks later, I attended a crop where another Close To My Heart consultant was offering a card make and take. I created my first card and fell in love with the products. When a half price Consultant special came the next month I jumped at the chance to sign up.
Life happened over the next two years, my husband got out of the Air Force and we moved half way across the country. In a new state, with two toddlers, it was easier for me to just be a hobbiest. I did the occasional gathering, but Close To My Heart’s great program allowed me to still be a part of the company even when I wasn’t able to go full force.
I had been a stay at home mom all this time, with the understanding that I would go back to work when my daughter started school. However, last spring as we were looking at kindergarten options for my older son, we realized that home schooling was the direction that we were being led in. Since this meant that I would not be returning to work full time any time in the near future, I started thinking about ways to earn money at home. I realized I already had the basis of a great home business right in front of me and all I needed to do was start working it. As I continue to build my business, Close To My Heart will allow me to teach my children at home while still building a successful business and earning an income of my own.

Welcome To My Blog!

Thanks for visiting my blog! My name is Amanda and I love to scrapbook and create artwork. I am a Close To My Heart Consultant as well as a homeschooling mom. Also, I love to save money and get things for free. Money saved is money I can use toward making memories with my family or buying the supplies to scrap them afterwards! So my goal is to make this a two part blog.

Close To My Heart

These will be posts where I show what I and others have created with Close To My Heart products. I will also post monthly specials, stamp of the month, and other important CTMH info.
