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 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.

AUGUST 19 1955
When you are starting to get OLD then your birthday is a time when you find yourself really reflecting…it was a weird day thinking about turning 54. NOT so much about turning older, that really doesn’t bug me, but just thinking about my life and the past and the hurts and the things we cannot change and the things we can and should change. I was just wore out from thinking too much today. Took a nap, then got creative. Found this old picture of me when I turned 11. (spots look like bubble gum but you can see in the other picture it’s just water spots)
I added liquid applique and glitter for the icing!
I used our cute August Stamp of the Month!
I also silver embossed the cake pedestal and a little birdie on the top.
I love birds. My Mom used to call me Brenda Bird because I held my hands tucked under my armpits like wings, and I loved to sing.
I remember everyone in this photo. From left to right…Teresa, my cousin Terri, my bff Vickie and Nancy, and of course me in the front.
Another interisting tidbit about me… My Mom was carrying twins and miscarried one. Then my sister Karen was born on August 19, 1954. She was tiny and premature and only lived 14 days. I was born on
August 19, 1955 exactly one year to the day later. I miss having a sister, but I’m so very blessed to have so many close friends that are like sisters to me who love me and would do anything for me, not to mention my wonderful kids and MY mother. Plant seeds and sing songs today!
I love our new Bella Papers and our new binder album! Here I have created a cute album designed by Cindy Baker!
Love it!~
