My Close To My Heart Expo Booth!!

Sorry all for going MIA on you!!

I was EXTREMELY busy getting my Close To My Heart Booth ready for the One Of A Kind Stamping & Scrapbooking Expo in Madison, WI last weekend.

There was soooo much to get ready.

I increased the size of my booth from 10' x 15' last year to 10' x 30' this year.

I had to get all my Artwork Boards updated with the current paper packs.

Get Idea Books and Flyers Labeled.

Get Facebook Fan Page Tickets for Chances to Win Product Ready.

Set my gridwall/slatwall up in my basement and then tear down and pack it all away in a manner that was easy to set back up at the Expo the next day...LOL!!

I had a weekend retreat in there that I hosted too prior to last weekend.

Needless to say...it's been go, go, go time.

I'm paying for it now though with a horrible head cold...but...I'll survive...right?!?!  LOL!!

Here are some photos from my CTMH booth!!  Sorry for the not-so-good quality of the photos as it was a quick take photos with my phone before it opened for business on Friday night!!  :o)

I was so proud of how it turned out!!

Back of a friend's borrowed truck with all my gridwall/slatwall panels and 12 boxes of product!!

My booth was the first one you came to in the first aisle.  

This is what you would see as you walked up to the side of it.

This is where my husband sat to work the register!!  :o)

Just as you turn the corner!!

Walking in to my booth.

This is where my husband sat from the front view.

Create Close To My Heart Hand-Made Gifts This Season!!

The holiday season is coming up fast — have you started your shopping yet? 

And what are you going to get for those few people on your list who are impossible to shop for? 

What do you give to that person that seems to have everything? 

If you’ve got some question marks on your list this year, try giving something handmade.

Why handmade? 

There are many reasons that a gift you make yourself is more meaningful than what you can get off the shelf:

• Time — is there anything more valuable? Once you’ve given your time to something, you can never get it back. When you put your valuable time into making something personal and unique, you are giving one of the most valuable things you have.

• Personal Touch — everything you create is infused with a part of you. A gift that you created is much more likely to remind the recipient of you simply because it carries the signature of your creativity.

• Customizable — don’t spend hours in stores looking in vain for just the right thing. With a handmade gift, you can make something just right by tailoring it to what you know about the person you are giving it to.

• Rarity — when you make something handmade, you are creating an item that is unique. That uniqueness adds value to the gift because there is nothing else like it. It is a gift that only you can give.

There is no limit to the handmade gifts you can give this year. 

A beautiful card or scrapbook page may be just the right thing, or a decorated picture frame, jewelry box, or wall art. 

Let your creativity shine this holiday season and give something that means a little more — give something handmade.
