Re-Grand Opening Giveaway Extranveganza!

Hello. friends!

Today is the first day of my week long giveaway! It is part re-grand opening of the blog due to my re-design, part celebration of my 1 million+ hits, and part follower appreciation!

Everyday the giveaway pot gets bigger. For example, today there is one prize, tomorrow there will be two, etc... so make sure you check in EVERYDAY this week! I will announce the winners on Sunday the 28th.

Today's fabulous giveaway is a Go Canada cartridge! This cartridge is really awesome and hard to get your paws on.


 Follow instructions below for how take part in the super fabulous giveaway!


a Rafflecopter giveaway

 October Specials

Back by popular demand, I am giving away one E2 Cricut machine to a lucky customer. To be eligible to win, you have to place an order on my Close To My Heart website this month. That is it! I will draw a winner November 1st.





The October stamp of the month is a total must have! It is called Very Merry Christmas and coordinates with the Artiste cartridge, so if you have that cartridge you are going to want to snatch this up! It makes tag making a total snap!

As always, this stamp set (retail price of $17.95) is only $5 with any order of $50 or more!





 Now don't forget that you can still buy the fabulous Artiste and Art Philosophy cartridges, so if you have not taken the plunge yet, come on in the water is great!
