I’m excited to share with you a journey that has brought immense joy and creativity into my life. When Close to My Heart announced its closure in 2024, I took a step back to reflect on my "why." After heartfelt conversations with myself, friends, family, and mentors, it became clear that this creative journey was far from over. That’s why I chose to transition to the wonderful products from Stampin’ Up!
My business is about so much more than crafting - it's about connection, community, and the friendships that blossom along the way. Yes, I offer workshops, classes, and retreats where I teach card-making, scrapbooking, and journaling techniques, but what truly matters is the sharing of stories, the support we give each other, and the laughter we share. Over the years, I've had the privilege of meeting incredible people, many of whom have become like family. I've witnessed my customers grow in their creativity, gain confidence, and find a fulfilling creative outlet.
Even though the company name has changed, my "why" remains the same.
As I look toward the future, I’m filled with excitement to continue helping others discover their creative spark and build friendships around the craft table. I truly believe that everyone has a creative spark within them, and I’m here to help you find and nurture that spark.
