Thanks for stoping in
My name is Debby Handy if you don’t know me already I will give you a very brief history. I am Married to my original husband Bob for 35 years WOW, doesn’t seem that long, we have 3 wonderful Daughters who I am happy to say are finally all educated and off the payroll, one Son-in-law, and another one will be joining the family in October and last but certainly not least we have one Grandson Tyler who is the love of our life.
I have been scrapbooker for the past 7 years and was hooked after my first album, since that time I have been an instructor for 2 years and have continued to love this hobby that helps me document the story of our family, our heritage and what makes each of us unique in a fun and artistic way.
I became a Close To My Heart consultant by accident not long ago while attending a scrapbook vender fair; I was drawn to their little corner by the great layouts that had wonderful balance, color choices and were full of fun elements. After speaking briefly with the two consultants and learning more about the Close To My Heart philosophy of “let me show you how” I knew I wanted to be a part of this company. They didn’t have to ask if I was interested in joining I ask them how to sign up!
For the past 7 years I have heard from so many women who have expressed an interest in scrapbooking but didn’t know how to start, didn’t have the time, didn’t have the space and were afraid of the cost involved, here was a company that addressed every one of their concerns in one place.
I really was blown away by the many options Close To My Heart had to offer that keep scrapbooking simple, fast, easy, cost effective and most importantly fun.
I am really excited to share with each of you the wonderful line of scrapbooking and card making supplies we have to offer, you are welcome to shop here on line or contact me if you would like to hold a home gathering with some of your friends, workshop, monthly club or crop.
I also offer many more options to keep it simple, fast, easy and fun so you can get the most out of your time and scrapbooking dollars.
Feel free to contact me about any of the monthly scrapbooking clubs that are offered, workshops, monthly kits to go, or a party in a box. You never pay an instructors fee, you only pay for the items you order, my time and instructions are always FREE
