I am so excited to show you the latest consultant kit you can purchase for only $99. I am so thankful to be a part of Close To My Heart! It has changed my life in ways I never imagined. 

I have met so may fabulous people in my journey as a consultant with Close To My Heart including the amazing Jeanette Lynton who is the founder/CEO or CTMH and her wonderful team of employees.

Close To My Heart has also given me the opportunity to discover my inner creativity that I did not even know that I had. I get lost as I create some amazing paper crafting projects. I love to teach the art of scrapbooking and meet so many wonderful people along the way.

If you want to be a hobbiest and just benefit from getting the consultant discount on amazing products or have a home based business the opportunity is yours either way. The minimums you need to submit quarterly are only $300 (before your 22% discount so it is even less)

I have made a video of the latest consultant kit and I would love to grow my team!
