CRPS AWARENESS FUNDRAISER--November 1st-November 15th 2014

To help in creating awareness and money for CRPS, I am selling Scrapbooking & Card Making kits.  Kits are $25 + shipping.  For each kit sold, I will be giving CRPS PIP $5!!!  CRPS PIP is a wonderful group who help people with CRPS get medical services or equipment that they couldn't otherwise afford.

Each Kit will have:

• one 2 page scrapbook set themed in Autumn
• 4 Cards (with envelopes)
• ribbons, sequins and other items to embellish your finished projects

All items will be PRE-cut and PRE-stamped so all you have to do is grab your favorite adhesive and get started!  This would be fun to do by yourself, your children, OR with a LARGE group of friends!

Example of a card we'll be creating:

I will be posting more pictures of the complete kit soon.

Payments should be made through PayPal (cmusgrave72@yahoo.com) and I will be shipping kits throughout November.  I will have items shipped within 4 days of receiving payments.  

Help me Help other Put out the Fire!

Be Blessed,

Renee Musgrave

Getting Ready for CRPS Awareness in November

Hello!!!!!

I'm usually on my blog a lot more.  I apologize.  I fell at work last year.  When I fell it should have gone away quickly but it didn't. Life dealt me a different hand. I was diagnosed with Chronic Regional Pain Syndrome-CRPS for short.  After being told I would always have CRPS and be partially disabled, I was released from Workman's Compensation.  I have been treated by my own doctors.  My new doctor sent me to a Rheumatologist who also diagnosed me with Fibromyalgia.  I have TWO very painful conditions.  Somedays I feel okay with my Spinal Cord Stimulator and pain medicine.  Other days I have to take a lot of breaks.  

I've always been very in control of my life.  I also have a servants heart.  I've created a Facebook group called "Christians with CRPS".  I've also donated a few crocheted items for an auction to CRPS PIP.  They are a lovely group who help those with CRPS receive treatment and things they need.  Here's what I donated:

Hope Scarf in Orange for CRPS-$25.00

 So, I've been busy getting over the news of having both CRPS and Fibromyalgia.  I've been serving others by helping promote the cause.  If you would be interested in a Hope Scarf in a different color email me at reneem8705@yahoo.com.

Don't forget to wear ORANGE on November 5th for CRPS Awareness Day!

Sincerely,
Renee Musgrave

Soar--Clean and Simple Sketch #300

I have created a card for the Clean and Simple Sketch #300.  Some days we need to be reminded we can "Soar".  I have used CTMH's Paper Packs and stamp set.  As well as Pearls from Recollection.  This was a really fun card to create.

Thank you for taking the time to look at my card.  If you are interested in any of the quality products Close to my Heart has visit my website at www.reneemusgrave.ctmh.com.

Now is the Time!

We are just DAYS away from our new Annual Inspiration catalog release.  There are SO MANY great items that are going to be retired.  Once they are gone, or August 1st when our NEW Annual Inspiration book is released, they will be gone for good!  

You'll want to share with crafty friends and family because these are WONDERFUL products.  

If you don't want to have a gathering of your own but want to take advantage of these great deals, then join MY party.  Just go to www.reneemusgrave.ctmh.com and click Join Renee's Party.  It's that easy.  Everything will be immediately shipped to your door.  There is no waiting for the end of the party!  LOVE that about CTMH!!!!!!!  

ALSO, until the end of this month, the CTMH Exclusive Stamp pads are $5.25.  

This month, July, we have a GREAT Stamp of the Month that is absolutely essential.  It is our Circus Alphabet.  The SS is only $5.00 with an order of $50.  Normally this stamp sells for $17.95. What a great savings!

The reason I began buying from Close to my Heart is the Exclusive Stamp pads and cardstock.  I love being able to go to my craft supplies and pull out the color I need.  ***I just hated going to my stash, and you ladies know what I mean by STASH, and having to look through all my papers only to find I had no cardstock to match what I was creating!***  CTMH has taken that frustration away.  You can purchase  25 sheets of a single color or a set.  The sets are 2 pieces of cardstock of each color groupings.  The magic is that the wonderful B&T paper packets match the cardstock.  LOVE!  LOVE!  LOVE!

If you have any questions or have a question, feel free to contact me.  

As Always-Be Blessed and Stay Creative!
