Hello Everyone!

Aren't you just loving that warmer weather?  Makes me think of spring, but I shouldn't get my hopes up because it is way too early.  This month we celebrate Valentine's Day and President's Day.  Think of me on Valentine's Day as I go to the dentist.  Who picked that date anyway?!

If you are looking for some inspiration, go on over to the February Stamp of the Month Blog Hop.  Over 60 consultants have posted their work on their blogs.  You can start at mine:  www.creativehands-hearts.blogspot.com or at Kathleen's blog  http://BowlOfStamps.blogspot.com .  Either way, you will see some great stuff along the way. 



Our special this month is Digital Delights!  You can purchase any Studio J layout for only $5 (shipping and handling applies)  I encourage you to try Studio J.  It doesn't cost anything to go to the website and play around with it.  I have made several layouts using this method.  And if I can do it, you can!  You might just find that it suits you just fine.  You can get there from my website:  www.kimschnoor.ctmh.com   Just create a free account, log in and start playing. 



Our play group is starting this month.  We have seven members and are going to have such a good time.  If you are interested in starting another group, please contact me. 

Classes:

February 25:  6:30 at my home, we will be doing the Buzz and Bumble Workshop on the Go.  Please RSVP by February 13th.  The cost is $29.95 plus tax and S/H.  Bring along adhesive, scissors and a paper cutter. 

 March 5:  We will be making a set of  5 monogrammed cards and box.  Also included is a monogram stamp in the letter of your choice.  Please RSVP by February 13th and make sure you decide on the letter at that time.  Cost is $12  Bring adhesive, a paper cutter and scissors.  Hope to see you there!

As always, you are close to my Heart!

Kim

 Happy 2012 and January!




I hope you rang in the new year with friends and family.  Here's wishing you a happy and prosperous year to come!


Just a reminder about the National Paper Crafting Special we have now.  Don't miss out on Whooo's Your Valentine.  It is a "while supplies last" item.  You can see a video about this cute little set here.


And as we are getting toward the end of the Fall/Winter Idea Book of 2012, the following items are retiring:

**All stamps from the Spring/Summer Idea Book 2012
**Most items from the Fall/Winter Idea Book except stamps (including the SOTM)
** Certain items are "while supplies last" so you if there is something you missed, don't wait too long. 
Did you know that there are sale items on my website most of the time?  Just go to:  www.kimschnoor.ctmh.com and you will find this list under SHOP.  These items are deeply discounted, so if you are interested, find a buddy and share the shipping.
January Class:
Please join me on January 22 at 6:30 pm for a 10 Cards for $12 class geared for those men in your life.  Please RSVP by January 12 to save your spot.  Bring adhesive and scissors.  This will be at my home; I hope to see you there!!
CLUBS:
I will be starting clubs with the introduction of the new catalog in February.  If you have never been in one of my clubs:
**We have a lot of fun
**We make great things
**We meet at my house
**Depending on the number in the club, each member makes an order to total at least $150.
**For example:  If there are 5 in the club, your order will total $25 each month (not including tax and S/H)  for 5 months with each person being hostess for a month and getting hostess rewards.   How great is that?  :)
Sign up today by calling me  712-525-1073 or emailing  tris0755ks@aol.com
And finally, the New Spring/Summer Idea Book will go LIVE on February 1st.  The papers and embellishments are fabulous, the artwork is gorgeous and I can't wait for you to see it.  Please contact me for your copy!
I hope to hear from you soon!  Have a wonderful and warm January.
Do it with HEART,
Kim
