Most of all, I love helping others like you learn to stamp and scrapbook with beautiful Close to My Heart products! I joined Close to My Heart in 1998 because I fell in love with the products. I loved how everything coordinated and how the colors matched perfectly! I wanted it all and I wanted it at a discount!

I was a Registered Nurse with a full-time career at that time and not looking for another job. I was married and the mother of two active young boys that were involved in lots of sports. I worked my business alongside my full-time job and in 2004, I was able to replace my income and 'retire' from my job as a nurse to stay home and work my CTMH business full-time! I am able to earn a full-time income doing something I love, working from home.

In 2011, I went through a really hard time when I found myself going through a divorce after more than 25 years of marriage. Because of Close to My Heart and having my own income, I was able to support myself and live on my own. In 2013, I was able to buy a beautiful house with a swimming pool in a great neighborhood, all because of my Close to My Heart Business and the income that it provides each month.
