Pay it Forward!


To get Information on MY Giveaway Blog,   


Pay it Forward!

I love this idea that I found on Romaine's blog...the first 3 people to leave a comment on this post will receive a handmade something (made by me) sometime in the next 364 days! How fun is that?  Happy mail that can arrive at any time? If you want to participate, make sure that your comment has a way that I can contact you for your snail mail address- like an email that is listed on your profile.

I am copying the deets Romaine's & Carol  Labuski's blogs that they had copied from the blog they commented on:

I will send a surprise gift to the first 3 people to comment on this post.  This gift will be made by me and I will send it sometime within the next year. Exactly when you will receive it will be a surprise!
Of course there are some rules in this game and here they are:
1.  I will make a little something for the first 3 people who comment on this post.  It will be a surprise and may arrive at any time in the next 365 days (yes, a year).

2.  To sign up to receive a gift from me you must play along, too.  Share the giving love on your blog by promising to send a handmade to the first 3 people who comment on your blog post.

3.  You MUST have a blog.
4.  After commenting on my post, you have to post this (or similar) on your blog to spread the love.  If you haven’t posted in 48 hours then the next commenter will be chosen.
If you want to join in,  just comment below and if you’re one of the first 3 I’ll send you something before the end of August next year! I will notify the three to be on the lookout  for a future package.
Can’t wait to hear from you!
Fun, right? Thanks for stopping by! 
And thanks to Romaine, Carol and the others that came before!

Need Your Help Reaching a Goal!!


Help Me Reach a Goal

I'm asking for your help!! A couple years ago I signed up as a Close To My Heart consultant to help scratch my creative itch and have a little extra funds on the side. I really got hooked on 3-D project-crafting and help with my Scrapbooking --- we have the best papers and stamp sets and our company adds charming and unique embellishments with every new catalog. Every catalog is a fabulous Idea Book too!

Since my Lupus has taken on full speed, working from Home would be my best options and being creative makes me happy too. Happy MOM/WIFE makes for a Happy Home. LOL!

My goal is to create a business with Close To My Heart so I can still be a provider and be home when my body dictates the need health wise. I have my own blog and my website with Close To My Heart (both are free).

August is the best time to try Close to My Heart out.. No obligations.. NONE, Just sign up...get your kit with tools and a FREE Damask Bag. All for $49. (the kit alone is worth $130 & the bag is worth $49 retail). If you decide after you get your product and try it out that this is not for you, we do not hound you (though I would love to help you earn extra funds and earn free gifts). 





Contact me if you are interested. The bags are beginning to run low so contact me soon. 
My Close to my Heart Website is www.OhMyScraps.ctmh.com.
My Blog is http://OhMyScraps2U.blogspot.com/.


My email is  sandrav9288@yahoo.com
If you just want to earn free product...It is so easy to be a hostess.  I have hostesses from other states who earn free gifts just for being in the Crop Club group I started a few years back. We would love to have you join us. Contact me soon.
