What's on your Bucket List?

Do you have a bucket list?  I never really did until the last few years.  I still have more places that I would like to visit.  Top of my list is to go back to Paris, as we only had a day there and there is just too much to see in a day.  I'd also love to get back to Rome.  While there we got a quick tour of The Vatican and saw it through the camera lens.  We did not see the Sistine Chapel, so I need to go back to see them.

I also have on my list: Moscow, Istanbul and Wales.  I have a cousin who lives in Moscow with his family.

 Who wouldn't want to see these fabulous places in person.  Aren't these buildings absolutely gorgeous?!

For some unexplained reason, I want to see the Taj Mahal.  Don't ask me why!

My Mom was Welsh, so I've always been interested in going to Wales.  In the little town in VT where I grew up, there's a Welsh room in the College.  Many extended cousins have traveled here to visit.

Now, a few things that could be easier to attain.  I'd like to do a 5K, but, I guess that means I need to start running.  LOL

OK....here's a few more

• Re-learn French and use it in Paris
• Have six pack abs....I think I should have done this at a younger age. :)
• Learn to Ballroom Dance
• See a New England Patriots game at Gillette Stadium
• Cruise The Nile
• Ride a Gondola in Venice
• See the Northern Lights
• Win the lottery for more than $20 (Guess I need to play it to win it)
• Visit the Grand Old Opry

While working on my list, I perused other lists and it was fun to see things on their lists that I have already done.  For instance:

• Drive a golf cart...done...we use one to get around the farm
• Visit Pompeii...one of the most amazing things I saw in 2008
• Ride Horseback...have ridden since I was a kid
• Snow ski...did in my younger years...am sure I'd break something if I did it now!
• Water ski...did many years ago and loved it

So...what's on your bucket list?  Brush off your list, post in the comments, then head over to Jeanette Lynton's blog and let her know.  Someone will win the materials to make a CTMH Base & Bling accessory.

Deal of the Day!

Oops!  I just realized I didn't post a deal yesterday.  Today will have two different deals.

Have you checked out the Base and Bling wearable art yet?  These are so cool.  And, to make them even cooler, there's a way where you only have to purchase one set of bases.  Since the Bases are metal, you can put a small magnet piece on the back of your Bling and swap them out, rather than having to buy a base for every bling.   Without further ado...here's the first Deal of the Day.

Purchase any two bases and one bling and get another bling FREE. Hop on over to my website to see all of the Base and Bling

If you have any questions about the bases, bling or the special, please shoot me an email.

For the second Deal of the Day...

Purchase any of our How-to books



and get one of the Make it From the Heart booklets FREE!



Please email me if you have any questions.  You must email me your order to take advantage of these offers.

Base & Bling

How cute is this necklace??

This is part of Close To My Heart's new Base and Bling line.  For bases you'll have a necklace, bracelet, earrings, ring or a head band base.  Then you can either craft flowers from fabric as shown above, or you can buy all the pieces to bling your base in seven different colors.  How fun is this?  Bases and bling are $4.95 and $5.95.  What a cute gift this would make!
