Close To My Heart ~ Places to Go and Memories to Keep!

Stepping into the New Year with Places to Go and Memories to Keep!

As we step into the new year with renewed hope and conviction, we look forward to the places weā€™ll visit, the sites weā€™ll see, the things weā€™ll do, and the people we will share it all with.

The newest Close To My Heart catalog was just released on the first and, from cover to cover, it is full of exciting new products and ideas to preserve the memories youā€™ve made in the past year and are planning for in the year to come.

One of our newest paper collections, featured on the cover artwork of the Januaryā€“March 2023 catalog, is called ā€œAre We There Yet?ā€

Stepping into the New Year with Places to Go and Memories to Keep! #arewethereyet #travel #scrapbooking #patternedpaper #suitcase #roadtrip #catalog #wander #staycation #vacation #goingplaces #journey #trip #family #friends

This gorgeous collection is inspired by all of those travel memories that we wandering humans canā€™t help but make! From big trips abroad or across state lines to smaller staycations or girls only weekends, most of us enjoy getting away from lifeā€™s repetitive beat from time to time.

The Are We There Yet? products are not only great tools to get those past travel memories preserved but also to inspire us to keep going. Exploring and wandering is about discovering different perspectives and seeing new things. If you plan things right, life will deliver new sights and unfold unseen horizons every step of the way. This collection asks the question, have we arrived? Even though we may arrive at specific travel destinations for a particular trip, with luck weā€™ll continue to go, to see, and to do, and never truly ā€œarrive.ā€

We hope that this new year will bring many opportunities for travel and growth. Whatever adventures come our way, letā€™s not forget to document and preserve them! After all, sometimes to know where to go next, we need to remember where weā€™ve been. Scrapbooking is a beautiful way to journal these experiences, and itā€™s also a wonderful way to look back on them and share them with others.

For more inspiration on how to use the Are We There Yet? paper collection, take yourself on a journey through the new Januaryā€“March 2023 catalog. Our Close To My Heart Makers are also sharing their ideas online, using the hashtag #cmtharewethereyet. Make sure to look up that hashtag from time to time to see whatā€™s new and where this great collection is taking our fellow crafters!

Happy New Year and happy wandering! ā¤ļø

A Taste of Canada ~ Fiddleheads

I do enjoy fiddleheads.  They have a green bean-y, asparagus-like, pea-ish taste and they are just fun to look at. From Chateline Magazine: HOW-TO Itā€™s Almost Fiddlehead Season! Hereā€™s How To Cook This Springtime Veggie Properly Fiddleheads are a Canadian delicacy, but undercooking them can lead to food poisoning by Amy Grief  Updated Apr 9, 2019 Fiddlehead season is short, so when you see the adorable green curlicues at your grocery store or farmersā€™ market, buy them while you can. Before chowing down on these little springtime delicacies, thereā€™s a few things you should know first since fiddleheads can cause food poisoning if theyā€™re not cooked properly. What are fiddleheads? These tightly curled coils are ostrich fern fronds. They start appearing in late April and early May in Ontario, Quebec, Nova Scotia and New Brunswick and are usually found in forests, marshes and by rivers and streams.

Week #2 Challenge: Paper . . . and I mean ALL of your paper.

Annual Organization Challenge Week #2   How did you make out with last week's challenge? Did you find your work table? Here's this week's challenge: Your challenge this week is to  S.P.A.C.E.  your paper - - and I mean ALL of your paper: cardstock, patterned paper, specialty papers, and all those SCRAPS! SORT:  Bring all of your paper to one area. Sort it all into piles: KEEP, SELL, DONATE, TRASH PURGE:  bag up, and assign a price to paper bundles that you want to SELL at a garage sale or online, and put the bags in the garage sale box.
