Last Friday I had another comical experience! As you may or may not know I live in a very rural town of under 1,000 people. I was born, raised, and we are currently raising our family in our Beloved little Osceola.
When you walk into to the bank, the grocery store, or the convenience store they know you by name and often ask about your family or other things going on in your life. Over the past couple of years as many of my fellow Osceola peeps have watched (via Facebook as well as my interaction with them personally) with the help of my CTMH mentors, team member, customers, family, and friends I have worked my tail off and reached some CRAZY AWESOME Accomplishments while being a part of Close to My Heart!
While I suppose we don't really need the 'approval' of others to see our own personal successes it really does feel good to hear people tell you they are proud of how hard you are working. Over the past couple of years I've heard things like "So, our small town girl is making a splash, huh?" and "I Guess you're proving them wrong when they say Small Town girls can't get anywhere with direct selling!" It's a total Hoot to walk into the grocery store and hear someone in our community say that to me!
Friday someone walked up to me and said "So, I heard you're going on another 'free' vacation, huh?" I said "I sure am!" (with a Big Smile) He then said with his nose turned up "So you really make money doin' that 'scrapbook playin' or whatever it is...they really PAY you, like 'real' money?!" Me again with a Big Smile "Yes, Sir they sure do!" Him again (with an eyebrow raised) "And just what does your Husband think about what you're doin'? I said "Well, I guess he likes it just fine! LOL Ask him how he enjoyed going to Hawaii a few months ago for 'free'! And ask him if he's looking forward to our 'free' Cruise to the Eastern Caribbean in March while you're at it!" He grumbled and walked away. You could not wipe the Smile off my face! It's STILL Comical hearing other's disbelief!
Friends, the fact of the matter is...
* You really CAN be successful no matter Where you live or how isolated you might feel due to your location.
* You really CAN be successful WHILE you work your 'full time' job.
* You really CAN put 'real' (still giggling) money into your pocket (none of that Monopoly Money the 'other companies are apparently giving out...still giggling)
* You really CAN be successful while keeping up with your husband and young kiddos.
* You really CAN contribute a substantial amount to your family budget based on how hard you are willing to work. (I'm not just talking about a 'dinner out' once a month, I'm talking about paying a mortgage or saving for your kiddo's college...I'm talking about a SUBSTANTIAL income that many times is higher than 'full time' income! You can even earn online! (Hello Pajamas?!)
* You really CAN earn Incentive Trips paid for by Close to My Heart! (Yes, even small town girls CAN!) The Earning period for the 2017 Incentive trip to the Puerto Vallarta, Mexico All-Inclusive Resort Starts October 1st!!
* You really CAN experience all of this and so much more!

Who is Zoe you might ask?! Close to My Heart has slightly changed the time frame in which they debut our Idea Books! Since this change has moved the release date of our 2015-2016 Annual Inspirations Idea Book back to September 1st we have been given an early Release of the ZOE collection for August!! You will notice that the Zoe products and many of the coordinating accessories have been made available for order today! Whoop!! (link to my shopping website here!) Did you also notice something else NEW about the artwork featured in this post!? Yes! We have a BRAND NEW Cricut Collection! And even better than that...?

And did I also mention the Cricut Collection even comes with a package of cardstock featuring the Newly Enhanced 'Enchanted' Color Pallet - Featuring the (7) Brand New Colors! That calls for another Whoop!! I am SO excited to begin playing with so many New Products!! Okay...so back on track with the Zoe Pre-Cut Kit! (I have SOOO Much information to fit into this post it's hard to stay on task!) I had a Blast working with this new paper collection! I was able to incorporate use of the Artistry Cricut Cartridge into each and every one of these projects and I think they turned out SO CUTE! Let's have a closer look, shall we? Here's the layout...cute, huh? Simple and clean, just my style!
And here are are the photos of the Card Projects!
Isn't that the cutest little pile of Birthday gifts? It's one of the 700 Images featured on the New cartridge. :)
This card is so Bright and cheerful, isn't it? How CUTE is that sentiment?! It comes from one of the (3) Stamp sets featured Exclusively with the Artistry Cricut Collection! I Love it! and no Fussy Cutting whatsoever! I just stamped right on top of the Cricut-cut Image! Sa-weet!
And How Simple and Sweet is this little 'Hello' Card?! I LOVE it! The Cocoa colored 'Hello', the Glacier Striped overlay, and the sorbet polka dot solid 'base' are all cut from the Artistry Cartridge! SO QUICK, yet so Cute! :)
Another Simplistic Card! The Cocoa and Sorbet Cardstock 'Bases' as well as the White (Stamped) Overlay are all from the Artistry Cartridge as well. :)
Would you believe I'm offering these kits for only $20?! I have done all the hard work for you! Everything will come Pre-Cut and Pre-Stamped so you can simply sit and enjoy creating without all of the 'work'.

The Kits come in New - reusable zip top bags ready for you to dig into! You will also find step by step directions and color photos of each project to assist with assembly. Each project also has it's own 'recipe' with cutting sizes as well as cricut measurements so you can easily duplicate the projects! The recipe sheet will be emailed (during the next few days - I'm putting the 'finishing touches' on it) so you have a digital copy (no hard copies will be mailed).
