DEAL-A-DAY EVERY DAY IN JUNE!

What's more fun than discovering a new art technique, using an embellishment in a unique way, or trying an accent you've never used before and loving it?
Well, our June Deal-a-Day promotion is perfect for bringing out the fun in your creative projects! It's a great time to pick up some products you love or ones you've never used before at an incredible price and discover all the creative ways you can use them.
You can add to your scrapbooking supplies so you'll always have just the perfect item on hand. You can even challenge your creative side and say, 'Whatever deal pops up this Wednesday I'm going to buy and use—even if I've never used it before!' That can get your imagination flowing!
Visit my website (amy.myctmh.com) every day in June and see what gets your artistic juices bubbling! And remember, the deals are good for just that one day and only while supplies last.
***Deals are available for 23 hours beginning at 9 a.m. on the day announced through 8 a.m. the following day or while supplies last. CTMH specifically selected items with ample quantities on hand to make shopping a relaxed experience—CTMH recommends that you come throughout the day for a smoother shopping experience rather than “racing to the doors” each day at 9 a.m.

Happy Shopping and stocking up on FABULOUS products at FABULOUS prices!

Thanks so much ladies!

The card you see here is the one I made for my two daugthers and presented to them the night of their dance recital. I used the Summer Dazzling Die-Cut package that was a special back in the fall. I hadn't played with this package of goodies much but am having lots of fun with it now!

Enjoy your day!

SMiles,

Amy

Have a wonderful weekend!

It's the Simple Things...

Today has been a fabulous day! It all began when I came into the house early this morning after working out in the garage to find the kitchen table set for breakfast. Stan had to leave for work early this morning. He came into the garage to say good-bye and then left. Seeing the breakfast table all set upon walking back into the house was a wonderful surprsie for me(it does not take much to make me happy!).

Then, when I went upstairs to my bedroom to get out of my smelly clothes so I could walk the kids to the bus stop I was pleasantly suprised again to see the the bed made. WOW! This is an aweosme day (I told you it doesn't take much to make me happy!)!

I have been "buring the candle at both ends" these last several months. Myhubby has noticed that I am a bit tired and on "overload" and he went out of his way to help me this morning. It's these simple things that mean so much to me! Thank you, Stan, you are the best! You made my day!

THE BRIDGE!

Hello!

I thought I would share with you some photos of the bike ride we took yesterday over the famous Charleston bridge. We have done this about 4 times since moving here 3 years ago. It is such a fun ride! We take our time, stopping along the way to drink water, take some photos and chat with the many other individuals who are biking, walking or running over the bridge. No matter what time of day you go over the bridge there are ALWAYS people walking, running or biking the bridge. This is a popular tourist activity, too. If you ever come to visit, I will be sure to take you over the bridge!

Dancing Girls!

Happy Memorial Day Everyone!

I hope you have all enjoyed a nice long weekend. The McGrew family had a very busy but fun 3-day weekend. I have so much to share and tell you about! Tonight I will start bytelling you about Friday evening. Molly and Payton had their dance recital. We changed dance studios this year. The girls took their lessons at Magnolia Dance Academy which is located right down the street from our home (the commute was FABULOUS!). Anyway, all the dancers in the entire academy did a fabulous job. Stan and I (and even Tucker) were very impressed with the show. I congratulate all the dancers and all the faculty at Magnolia Dance Academy. They certainly worked hard and it showed on Friday night!

I hope you enjoy some of these photos of Molly and Payton. Molly was in jazz and Payton in ballet. It was such fun getting ready for the show. The girls were so excited to wear "real" make-up!

Tucker gave the girls these flower bouquets after the show.

Mood Doggie Scrapbook Kit

I enjoyed another day of creating yesterday. Here are the layouts my June Scrapbook Club members will be creating. The new Moon Doggie kit is perfect for any and all summer time memories, tropical vacation photos, springtime flower photos, etc. I love how versatile this My Reflection Kit is!

I chose to highlight photos taken last summer when our good friends, The Dozer Family, came to visit. We met the Dozer's soon after we moved to Lancaster, Ohio back in 2000. All of our children are the same ages and Tucker and Grant were in the same class together every year up until we had to move away. I am so thrilled that we have all remained close even after moving 10 hours away. Each time we get together the kids pick up right where they left off. It is amazing how sometimes you grow closer even when you are separated by too many miles.

Anyway, creating these layouts was a whole lot of fun. Stan and the kids enjoyed looking at them once they were done. Tucker, Molly and Payton wanted to know when, this summer, the Dozer Family was coming back for another week of fun in the sun! The pressure is on Tracy & Dave-you better be heading south this summer!!!!!

Here are the details on the June scrapbook club kit. Anyone can join scrapbook club-even long distance gals! Contact me today for more info. Or you can order these products directly from my website (http://www.amy.myctmh.com/).

I am having trouble with this last photo. Again, it keeps rotating in the downloading process. I can not figure out why this happens every once in a while and I cannot figure out how to fix the problem. I do love the layout so I am posting it anyway. I hope you don't mind tilting your head to view the layout the correct way!
