Okay football fans, here we go for Superbowl Sunday I’m running a special deal just for you. For all orders over $25 I receive Sunday from the kickoff right up until the end of the 4th Quarter, you will receive a SPECIAL MYSTERY DISCOUNT!!!!! At the end of the game I will add all of the digits from the final score together and that MAGIC number will be YOUR DISCOUNT*. PLUS, email me before the game starts with your guess of who will win and I will add an additional 10% off of your discount if you are right!!!

For example if the score ends:

17 – 31 your discount will be 1 + 7 + 3 + 1 = 12 %
28 – 49 your discount will be 2 + 8 + 4 + 9 = 23 %
plus 10% off if your team wins! (email me your guess!)
Orders have to be placed between kickoff and the final play to be eligible. Orders can be placed via phone or email or at bren.myctmh.com (orders placed by myctmh website will receive a gift certificate for the amount of their discount to be used directly through me).

This discount will be on top of all the great corporate offers including the February Special of Buy 1 Textured Cardstock Combo pack Get 1 FREE and earning Stamp of the Month FREE with $100 order (prior to my discount).

Until we talk on Sunday have a great weekend and enjoy Superbowl Sunday, even if its just for the commercials and my sale!

I will also be teaching at Tresa Black’s Creative University!
Here is the necklace 35 of us will be making!

I am so excited to go to Tresa Black’s Creative University this month! I signed up for her charm swap and here are my contributions!
I used a two part resin, a tiny vintage print punched into a heart and a pink bling! We are also supposed to make a filler charm with beads to go with it. Can’t wait to see them all!

Have you seen the latest Art & Soul webisode at Close To My Heart TV? Look what you can do with dimensional elements and our must have finishing files!

Going to a Bunco and am helping with the decor-made a few snack size 45′record bowls for the tables…25 cents each at my local thrift store! Notice I chose the ones with the bottoms still plugged. If you are making ones like I did with the metal in the center, make sure you don’t touch the center until the record has cooled off! I LURVE to repurpose…wait…maybe I should have listened to these first…Julius Caesar with Marlan Brando, might have been worth something…oh well, I like how they turned out!

I also made a couple using old 78’s! Instructions in a previous post HERE

I am hoping to make it to CHA (The Craft & Hobby Association) this weekend, it is raining cats and dogs here in suny san diego. The plants are singing. I am anxious to give my kindred spirits a hug. Stacy Julian, Lisa Pace and Katie Watson to name a few. Stacy is a longtime inspiration from her days with DOTS (Dozens of Terrific Stamps, now known as Close To My Heart, where I have been a consultant for over 18 years!) We used to laugh over the silly Frank (as in Frankenstien; Frank-n-berry Tea, Frank n’ beans, you can imagine) cards Connie and I made! Remember Stacy? Lisa will have her new book, Delight in the Details, and I wish her the best with it. Katie is a local here and has taught at many local stores and I have fallen in love with her style. Her work will also be featured at CHA. I lurve these ladies.

Though no one can go back and make a brand new start, anyone can start from now and make a brand new ending. ~Author Unknown

I enter the New Year with the understanding that I am making a fresh start. I begin by discarding thoughts, attitudes, and habits that are not compatible with an excellent life. I let go of whatever caused past discouragement, disappointment, or disagreement. I know that seemingly negative outcomes are desires or goals that are yet to be fulfilled. I am open and receptive to new ideas, activities and relationships.
Each day, I can follow a fresh plan of fulfillment. I act on divine ideas that I receive in moments of prayer and inspiration. These ideas flow through wholesome, positive thoughts. As I use creative thinking to build upon divine ideas, my activities become more dynamic and my abilities are enhanced. Therefore, I enter this New Year with optimism, joy and enthusiasm.
