Great Close To My Heart Campaign for New Consultants!

If you've ever thought of joining Close To My Heart (CTMH) as a consultant, March is a great month to do so!  You get a free Cricut Art Philosophy collection (or $100 in credit if you already own Art Philosophy)!  If interested, you may sign up at http://www.ctmh.com/,  go to "What We Do" and in the dropdown menu is "Be A Consultant".  If you do sign up, I'd greatly appreciate it if you'd list me, Brenda Halstead in Toledo, Ohio as your upline.
