Hi Everyone -
This is a notice to let anyone who stumbles upon this blog that the content has been moved to a private Facebook group for my Close To My Heart Team- Connected Hearts.
Thanks to all who subscribed and read my long posts. I came to realize that not only is blogging not an efficient way for me to communicate with my target audience, but I really need the immediate feedback and interaction that happens on Facebook. My style is better suited to FB instead of blogging. If you've been following me, you know it was always a struggle.
If you are part of my CTMH team, be sure to "friend" me on Facebook and ask to be added to the team page.
Thanks!
Naomi Smith

Connected Hearts NEWSFLASH!
Happy July! Are you ready for a NEW YEAR - with our all new 2014 Annual Inspirations Idea Book? If you haven't gotten your hands on one yet, all you have to do is place an order this month and it will be sent to you, otherwise you'll have to wait until August!
One of favorite things...there are so many to choose from, are our new alcohol markers by Shin Han. http://www.shinhanart.com/ We were able to play with them during the creative session at Leadership Day. Here are the cards we created. I LOVE the vibrant colors and blendability. Unlike our old markers, you can color the Clear Sparkles and customize other embellishments with these markers! In the coming posts, I'll share many of my other favorites and how I'm sharing them with my customers.
!!!!!TEAM NEWSFLASH!!!!
Congratulations on being a part of our Striving and Thriving in 2014 Winning Team!
As the leader of the Connected Hearts, in recognition of
outstanding team growth and to celebrate team member, Noreen Petty's promotion
to Presidential Director, I am bringing my team celebration to the Hilton Hotel
in Waco, TEXAS on Saturday, October 4th. The cost is just $20 for this all
day event which will run from 10 am to 9:30 pm with lunch provided and a 2 hour
dinner break on your own.
You will receive a fabulous Team celebration including
Team training, recognition, creative projects, giveaways, treats, and a
fantastic time together, hosted by me and Close To My Heart Vice President and
COO, Brian Holman!. This will be an all day event packed with ideas and
information to help you build a thriving CTMH business! The $20 event price
includes lunch, giveaways and projects. There will also be a silent auction of
exclusive CTMH branded items to benefit Operation Smile. More details to come
including the agenda and what to bring.
Registration is already underway and is limited to the first 200 people. You
MUST be an active CTMH consultant and submit at least $300 in orders during the
3rd quarter (July-Sept 2014) to attend. So take advantage of the consultant
preview period this month and get your orders in for all the wonderful new CTMH
products. We are anticipating the event to sell out quickly so don't delay!
This event will be open to all levels of my team.
Email me as soon as you have your $300 in sales
and I'll send you the registration link! njsmith@wolfenet.com
