Happy 4th of July Weekend!!!

    Sorry that I have been so MIA lately! Without the internet connection at Disneyland, I easily got behind on a lot of things! I'm so sorry about that, everyone! 

    I had a blast at convention and came away with tons of new products, new ideas, and exciting new workshops to show you all! I cannot reveal anything quite yet, but believe me when I say it's worth the wait! I am hoping to post some pictures from my adventures at convention soon, and then product pictures will be posted in August! However, some of you will be able to get sneak peeks at my Annual Idea Book Preview Party! More information about this special workshop is listed under the Event Calendars tab! Please check it out and mark your calendars today! You do not want to miss this FREE event!!

    Today I have a lot of fun, exciting things to share with you! Let's start with the new deals and steals for July!

Album Availability:


    Oh the albums! I want to update you all on the latest information that corporate has released to us concerning the availability of albums!

    Many Consultants have asked about our future plans for albums, given that we have had to put a hold on our coated canvas albums and are continuing to offer a few colors of our expandable Faux Leather post-bound style albums. The update on these albums is that we have received further stock of the D-ring and post-bound coated canvas albums. However, these shipments have not met our quality standards, so they will not be made available to order.
    To provide ongoing stability in the album product line, we are providing the Outdoor Denim and Dark Chocolate Faux Leather post-bound albums that you and your customers are already familiar with. These products will be featured in the 2014 Annual Inspirations idea book, which means we have committed to making them available at least through July 2015, and potentially longer.
    We are committed to memory keeping—which means Close To My Heart is committed to offering albums. Ultimately, our goal for albums is to offer variety in formats for different types of memory keeping, on-trend colors that are attractive, and an easy assembly. We will continue toward that goal, while also providing a stable selection of the expandable Faux Leather albums, with their accompanying support products: specifically spine expanders, extender posts, and screws.


   
    There you have it! That is the latest information on the albums! If you have any questions, please let me know! Otherwise, I will continue to keep you all updated as information becomes available!



Update on Retiring Items:


    Since the announcement and release of the official CTMH Summer Retiring Items, products have been flying off the shelves! Some items are no longer available and sold out very quickly! Other items remain available to order, but on a "while supplies last" basis! If you could like to see the complete list of retiring items, check out the shared document here:


     
    This list has been updated to reflect the items that are sold out! Any of the items that are crossed out in red are no longer available to order! If you have any questions or are having any troubles opening the document, please let me know!
