As many of you know, March is a special time of year around Close To My Heart: It’s my birthday month! Every year, as my birthday approaches, I can’t help but reflect on life. I like to reevaluate how and where I spend my time, and especially with whom. I’m not perfect, but I believe in making every moment count and living life to its fullest, and when I look at the wonderful people who have walked by my side over the past 35 plus years, I am blessed to know that I am doing just that!
Thank you for always asking about me and my family. Thank you for your dedication to this wonderful community that we have created, together. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart, for believing in me and my vision for Close To My Heart, and for making dreams come true day in and day out. You, my dear Consultants and readers, are MY people! I could not ask for a better group of women to share my life with. I am truly blessed to have you and love you all so much!
For my birthday, I want to celebrate you, the wonderful people in my life. One way I plan on doing this is through the special that we just launched on March 1st, These Are My People. One of my favorite products in this special is the These Are My People Cut Above® kit. (All of the pages that you are seeing today are from this kit, complete with pictures of our wonderful Close To My Heart Consultants! <3 )
This kit is designed to create a 6″ x 8″ album with an opening page, a closing page, and eight two-page layouts in between, each page aimed at celebrating special relationships. What better product could I ask for to say thank you to all of you?
The beautiful collection of products available through the These Are My People campaign, especially the workshops and the Cut Above® kit, are truly an embodiment of the Close To My Heart mission.
For the next three weeks, until my birthday on the 27th, we will keep track of everyone who purchases one of these Cut Above® kits. At noon (MST) on my birthday, I will pick 4 of you to receive a prize containing an Everyday Life™ album in the color of your choice, one of our journaling pens of your choice, and an additional These Are My People Cut Above®kit. A fifth winner will also be picked for a grand prize. This lucky person will receive the album, pen, and Cut Above kit, as well as a $50 (USD) credit to Persnickety Prints, and a Sticky Boy and Sticky Girl stamp (because they are some of my favorite people, too!)!
My sweet friends, I hope you know that I love you and cherish the moments we get to share together. I encourage you to do your best to live your best life with those who matter most and express your love and gratitude every day. And, if you’re searching for a community of crafters that are more of a family than anything else, you’ve come to the right place and are welcome here.
With all my love,
Jeanette
We love you too darling Jeanette, thank you for your generosity and sweet encouragement; take tender care.

I already planned to purchase this kit! I sure hope I win!
What a sweet, inspiring message! Thank you for sharing your heart in these words. On Sunday March 8 (or maybe Monday the 9th), I anticipate getting the TAMP Cut Apart Kit, the Workshop Kit, and an extra paper packet with sticker sheet because— well, I just couldn’t make up my mind!!! Best wishes for our continued success during the next 35 years!
Jeanette, you are such an inspiration to every one of us! You have struggled with your illness for several years, but have kept your wonderful sense of humour through it all as well as your love for all of us. We love you too!
Thank you for supplying us with such wonderful products! I love creating with them. You are such a blessing to all of us. I can’t wait to get my kit. Happy Birthday Jeanette! Hallelujah!
Happy Birthday Jeanette!! Thank you for having the vision of what your company is today and bringing us all along for the ride!
Thank YOU Jeanette! I love your vision which has made my vision (and I know many others) be a reality. Years ago I had a desire to do something creative with a group of people as a community and this has fitted the bill. Not only do I now have a local community of ladies but unexpectedly a community outside my area and indeed outside my country! So appreciate your stamina and your 💕 love. Happy birthday for your big day. Jan
Thank YOU! Thank you for your vision which has helped my vision become a reality. Years ago I wanted to create a community of likeminded creative types and this fitted the bill. I so appreciate your stamina, sense of humour and love. I wish you a very happy birthday on your big day 💖. Jan
Jeanette, I’m so grateful for you and this company!! You are truly an inspiration to all of us!! I truly appreciate a company that helps me be creative and feel creative 😊 Before CTMH, I didn’t think I could ever make a card or make a wreath for my home, much less someone else. And I’m doing all that and so much more. Thank you, thank you, thank you. May God continue to bless you and your family and HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!! 🎂🎉🎁 💕
Thanks Jeanette! Your post warms my heart. Yes we celebrate not just the occasions but the special people in our life. Wish you a very happy birthday!
What a wonderful and thoughtful way to celebrate your Birthday! Happy Birthday Jeanette!
Love this paper!!! It’s supposed to arrive tomorrow, can’t wait to cut into it 😍
Thank you for being a wonderful leader and setting a great example for all of us❤️
Make a wish and blow out the candle. My wish would be a sticky boy or girl stamp. It’s the best birthday surprise ever!!!
Jeanette, you are a very special lady! I have seen you give your heart and soul to Close to my Heart over the fourteen years I have been a consultant.
This truly is more like a family and I am grateful to be a part of it.
Your heartfelt message touched my heart. I hope you have a delightful and memorable birthday month!
Jeanette,
You never quit giving to your consultants. I have been by your side for 25 years now and have always felt your and Monica’s love. Even tho I do not do many shows anymore because of health reasons I worked hard enough years ago that I still have loyal customers who call their orders to me now. Stay healthy and God Bless.
Happy birthday!

Thank you for being a light in this ever so dark world. I can’t thank you (and your daughters) enough for all of the encouragement I have been given. We love you! Happy 27th Birthday ;)!
