Happy 2009! I can’t believe it, but 2009 marks my 25th year in business. The time has flown and each year seems to bring more opportunities for growth and learning. I think back to the days that I used to run the business from my home, “burning rubber” for my rubber stamps in a small vulcanizer I kept in the house. Those were exciting, challenging times fueled by a powerful vision and a willingness to work really, really hard. Today I find I still have that exact same passion, and yes, that same desire to work really, really hard. I know many of you share that passion, and that’s the primary reason that Close To My Heart begins the new year strong and financially healthy. Together, we are building a company that not only has a rich 25-year history, but will have endless years of future growth and dividends for all contributors. I thank you for your role in making Close To My Heart the legacy company it is.
And here’s to a wonderful 2009 for you! Whatever your goals may be—to spend more time with family, to earn more in your professional life, to return to school, complete a marathon or to complete a scrapbook album—may you set your sights high and fuel your dreams with the passion to make them happen!

ReplyDeleteWhat a New Year 2009 will bring!
It has been such an extrodinary journey thus far and this month marks my 2 year Anniversary with Close To My Heart.
My Deepest gratitude for this life-changing oppurtunity. I am truly blessed by the relationships, creativity, support, and the treasured memories that have come from your dreams that started 25 years ago. Without your vision, the dreams I had would of been just that a dream. Now they are becoming a reality.
Thank you! Our love and deepest appreciation from our family to yours and all who read your inspirational blog...
I wish you a very Happy New Year and thank you for your willingness to pursue this company! I love being a Consultant for CTMH it is so just so nice!
ReplyDeleteMy deepest Appreciation for you and all you do and for your family for sharing you with us!!!
Happy New Year and a very Happy 25th Anniversary!
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year everyone! I hope this year is your best one yet!
ReplyDeleteAnd CONGRATULATIONS to Jeanette and the staff of CTMH for 25 years of outstanding years! I remember when CTMH was still D.O.T.S. My how things have changed... :o)
I just wanted to say that I love these products so much and I am so excited about this new book. The matching embellsihments introduced in the new book are a fabulous idea and the prices are amazingly priced. Thanks for coming up with exactly what we all want to see every single time a new book comes out. I started out being a consultant for the discount but as I started talking more and more about how much I love these products I gained more and more customers. Im doing so well in this business now and I couldnt be happier. There are at least 10 other consultants that live within a few miles of me and yet I still manage to sell way more than my quota.
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year and Happy Anniversary CTMH!
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year Jeanette! Congratulations on your 25 years of Close To My Heart. Without your perseverance and dedication, my fellow consultants and I would not have this sisterhood of creativity and success. Being a part of Close To My Heart has changed my life. It's so rewarding and amazing. Thanks again for this opportunity and may we all have your courage and creativity for the years to come. Thank you for making it possible for me to achieve success and meet and befriend wonderful, beautiful people. God bless!

Hi,Jeanette
ReplyDeleteI shared my resolutions with my club girls. I don't do the weight thing as a resolution. So for that I will just eat healthier.
My resolutions are:
To do my scrapin with my friends, so I will be visiting and getting more done.
Make more cards for family and fiends, to show I love and want to take time for them.
And last to do more crafty things, because they are fun.
And my Jan. club has help with my resolutions, we did a page for resolutions, cards for b-day and valentines and a crafty calendar gift item.
Thank you so much for ctmh it has been a joy to be with you since 1996.

I would like to wish all the girls and guys at CTMH a fun filled year! I have been a consultant for only 2 months and yet I feel like a part of this wonderful organization. I get so excited when I receive an order from CTMH, it is truly the highlight of my day to open the box and see all the goodies inside....but the real fun is creating with these products. My hope for 2009 is very simple...I want to spread the joy of scrapbooking to friends and family, make a few of them smile by sending them an unexpected card and .....lose a few pounds!!!
ReplyDeleteMy goals are very achievable and realistic, 2 key factors for succcess...thanks for reading and happy crafting to all.
