1. Shop Discounted Items During Our Memorial Day Sale!  Save big on a wide variety of crafting items during this weekend’s big Memorial Day Sale! This sale will start Friday, May 26 at 3:00 pm (MDT) on my Maker website, with discounts on a variety of current and retired products, as well as a few exclusive stamp sets that will only be available for the duration of the sale! These exclusive stamps and discounted prices will only be available on orders placed through my Maker website through 11:59 pm (MDT) on Tuesday, May 30, while supplies last, so be sure to get your orders in before then!  As usual, Sale items are commissionable and count toward earning VIP Credit and the discounted Stamp of the Month. Sale prices do not apply to VIP Credit purchases, so if you choose to order any of the sale items using VIP Credit, it will be at the full retail price. Shipping and handling is based on the full retail value of sale items. CTMH will email all newsletter subscribers at the beginning of the sale to let you know when it starts, and will also promote the sale on social media. Enjoy the savings available through this sale event!

2. Get Ready for Melon Mania!  In June, just one week away, CTMH will be celebrating our 2022–2023 color of the year with the Melon Mania special! This special will feature exclusive new Melon products, including a paper packet + sticker sheet, specialty cardstock, and stamp set. During the special, all other Melon products will also be available at discounted prices. Take this opportunity to stock up on your favorite Melon items before this color of the year retires!

3. Change of Scenery Workshop Kit Substitution We are nearing the end of our National Scrapbooking Day Celebration special. The workshop kits we designed for this special will only be available for a few more days, while supplies last, so be sure you and your customers have ordered the kits you want! While the event has already been held, you can still create along with the recorded videos of the event on our Close To My Heart Facebook page. For the Change of Scenery workshop kit (CC32322), CTMH has run out of the specialty paper used to create the green die-cuts. For kits ordered May 24 and after, these die-cuts will be created using Pine cardstock instead. This substitution will not affect the price of the workshop kit, and all kits that include this substitution will also include a note explaining what has been changed in the kit.

4. Free July–August Catalogs Can you believe it’s already time to prepare for the release of another new catalog! Makers will begin receiving their free copy of this catalog in orders placed beginning May 26. VIP customers will get a free copy with orders placed beginning June 15, and all other customers will be able to get a free copy with an order placed June 22 or after. I have ordered the July–August catalog to be shipped directly to all my VIP customers, which will then be shipped on June 16.

5. Home Office Closed Monday, May 29 The Home Office will be closed on Monday, May 29, in observance of the US Memorial Day holiday. Home Office support will not be available on this day and no orders will be shipped. We will return to the office during normal operating hours on Tuesday, May 30. I wish all of you the best of Memorial Day weekends!
