New Club Starting

Would you like to get free products? Who doesn't? I am starting a virtual club. You can join this exciting new adventure in August. Our new idea book will go live on August 1st. You can browse through it and make your wish list. Check out the stamp of the month and determine which one you like best.

Here is how it will work. You agree to purchase at least $25 in product each month for six months. I don't know about you but I sure buy at least that amount of products each month. You will log onto my website and place your order under my web order. You will pay with a credit card and have the product shipped directly to you.

Then... here is the exciting part... you decide which month you want to be the hostess. You let me know and I will see that you get the $25 in hostess credit AND the stamp of the month FREE during that month. You are guaranteed the $25 but if you want to try and get outside orders, you can earn even more during your month.

What else do you get for joining the group? I will send you a copy of the new idea book and a free gift during the first month. I will also be sharing great crafting techniques with you and great art work and more along the way.

Let me know right away if you would like to join.

Now if you just can't wait...

You can join a club right now. We still have 4 months left for this idea book. That's right! You can join this club right now. Just look at the Stamp of the Month for this and the next three months. See one you just can't live without? You can be the hostess for that month and get it free. Just log on to my website and click on join now on the right hand side. Place an order for at least $25 and let me know you want to join the club. Then let me know which one of the four months you would like to host and commit to spending at least $25 in May, June and July. That's it. You are signed up.

Be sure to check out the May special. You can find it here on my blog under the Special Offers tab. May would be a great month to host as you get the special for $10 more.

Chicago Regional

What a great time we had at the Chicago Regional meeting of Close to My Heart. Thanks to CTMH for having it close to my home and making it easy to travel with my friends. Here is a picture of some of my great friends in CTMH.

Kathy, me, Linda and Jeni

 

I also had a super roommate, Lynn. She got to spend lots of time with her upline which was wonderful for her. We did lots of great projects. It was such fun to network with Kristine and Monica. I have so much to share. Call me to set a time to stop by and soak up some of the creative juice for yourself. I will be posting pictures of some great artwork soon. Stop by often.

Crop for a Cure Today

Heading out the door shortly for an all day crop. It is an all day crop here in Rochester to raise funds for Relay for Life. Attendees will get a package of goodies from me to make a page. All pages will be entered into a contest to see who can get the most money for their page. All proceeds will go to relay for life. I will be rewarding the winner with a bag of CTMH goodies. I will be posting some of the pages so that you can see their creativity. Should be a fun day.

March Madness

Happy March! It is such a wonderful feeling to know that spring is on the way. I can see the tiny shoots of my crocuses coming up. Tulips can't be far behind. Even though we have had some snow this week, the hint of spring is in the air.

To celebrate spring, I am hosting an online gathering. The special for March is Jump for Joy!

 

Hostesses earn more rewards in March because when a Gathering reaches $250 or more in sales, the hostess jumps up to the next Hostess Rewards and Hostess Rewards Plus! levels. Now that’s a reason to jump for joy!

Here is how I am going to make this even better. You can host a party of your own and get this wonderful deal. Just give me a call to set up your own online gathering. Just email your friends and get at least $250 in orders and you get to jump up a level in your free items.

Don't want to host an online gathering? Well, you can join mine. Just go to my website - www.maryk.ctmh.com and click on JOIN by my March Madness online gathering to place your order. Items will be shipped directly to you. Now... if the party reaches $250, I will reward one lucky person with a half price item. That is right, you place an order and you may get to pick any item at 50% off. Fro example, you could get one of the Cricut cartridges for just $49. There are many other great items in the idea book to choose from also. So just place an order and you will be entered for a chance to win.

The online gathering closes on March 10th so be sure to place your order prior to that date. I will announce the winner on my blog on March 11th.
