September is almost gone

Good morning!  I know I have been hard to find, but the trailer is almost ready for us to move in and the house in MS closes next week. So I have been a bit busy with all that and trying to learn to quilt. I'm also spending as much time as I can with family since once we move out I know I will miss the craziness.
I have not been able to do as many of the hops as I had hoped. I didn't get my order in fast enough to have everything ready in time.  So feel free to go to the post below and click on one of the ladies and it will take to you their posts.

I hope everyone has a wonderful week. Catch y'all soon.

Week three on the hop once again life thru some curve balls and I missed the chance to show case what we have this week. However I am sure if you go to the link below you won't disappointed on the hop.  It may not be till the 1st of September at the rate things are going before I get a chance to rejoin the hops. I miss them and then plan to do them and more kits very soon. So please be patient with me as I will get there soon.

It's been a crazy week and I didn't even get any quilting done. I plan to take today easy and work on another quilt and of course some kits.

Week 2

So as you can tell this last week has been quiet for me here. I haven't forgotten about my blog, but life has been extra busy this last week. I'm working on trying to keep up with three businesses, selling a house and get a temporary house fixed up enough so we can live in it. It seems when I think things are going to quiet is when I get can't seem to keep up.  Between my scrapbook business and working with my on her quilting business and then trying to help my husband keep his firearm business going I'm not sure where I'm at.
We have moved so the fire arm business is just starting back up and of course I'm looking for new clients in the scrapbooking business. Then I started quilting with my mother and found I really like it. So she's teaching me the business and I'm trying to keep all three businesses online activity going and failing at all three at this point.  While we are fixing the temporary housing we are staying with my family which makes 9 people (4 generations) 1 cat (who doesn't like dogs) and 1 dog in one house. It's interesting and amazing at the same time.

So all that to say I am hoping to be able to post for the blog hop next week. Since I didn't week I would love for you to check out the others in the hop this week. You can start here at Tonya's they did amazing work this week and I hate that I missed this week.

Have a great week!

Lots going on

Well that seems to be the problem these days, we are all so busy that we don't seem to have time to do nothing.  However I can tell you that my life just a bit crazier. I've been dealing with some health issues that have kept me off line, now I'm getting ready for a move out of state. What does that have to do with you? Well glad you asked. I will be moving to a much smaller house, so I have to downsize my supplies as well.  I have a lot of products not just close to my heart as I have only been selling CtmH for 2 years. The plan is to continue to sell CtmH, kits, albums I just won't be able to have a lot of the other stuff.
Long story short, sometimes I babble, sorry is I will be posting these items for sale on my facebook page and possibly on here. So stay tuned as I get going on this process. I'm still going to have days where I don't get online as I prepare for more medical appointments and procedures. Please bear with me.

I will have more kits, mini albums and supplies coming soon.

Crazy things are happening

I am trying to figure out this blogging and it's taking me a bit.  Lots going on personally as well as in Close to my Heart.  I have been traveling with my husband, while he travels for work so it seems like I haven't been home in weeks.

The Regatta, Penelope and the Charlotte paper packs and everything in the seasonal expression book are coming to an end at the end of April which is coming faster than I want.  My kits will be available until the supplies I have on hand are gone which they are going fast as well.

I have all intentions of putting all the kits and even a sneek peak of the next kit from the new mini catalog on here today. However it could be tomorrow, since my day is quickly running away.

Hope you have a wonderful day and thanks for stopping by.

Welcome to my blog. My name is Yvonne Enea and love to scrapbook as well as other crafts.  I am an independent Close to my Heart consultant. I have been selling Close to my Heart for 2 years now and love this company.  yvonneenea.ctmh.com
I make kits so that you can have beautiful scrapbook pages and cards to share.  Scrap booking is a great way to showcase your memories and pass these down to future generations.

I also do custom albums, where you supply the pictures and information about them, I then put them into an album giving you the design you want without all the work or time.

I also have small albums that I can customize for you as well.  I have done baby albums, pregnancy journals, birthday, family.  The themes vary by what is wanted. I did a Dr. Who theme a year ago for a pre-teen, she loved it and I had fun doing it for her.

If you have any questions or want to chat about me doing something just send me an email.
