Sadness and Excitement

It is with some sadness that I announce my retirement from Close To My Heart. It was a fabulous 14 years, but it's time for me to start my next adventure.

As many of you know, I do many different things. Over the holidays I personalized a few hundred elves and snowmen.

Well, I'm hooked on Heat Transfer Vinyl and will be adding this to my repertoire. I ordered my heat press last night and can't wait to start doing custom shirts, hats and so much more!

Currently, for Valentine's Day, I'm doing these cute critters.

And these adorable unicorns.

If you'd like to purchase any of these, you can email me

Stronger Together

There is currently so much devastation happening in our country and the islands. It just breaks my heart to see all that people have lost with the possibility of more to come. I can't even imagine it.

I am so glad I work with a company that steps up when needed. I hope you will join me in ordering the Stronger Together stamp set to benefit the Red Cross.

You will find this set available on my website from this link.
