CTMH Cyber Monday Sale Later Today

 The Close To My Heart Cyber Monday sale starts at 5pm EST this afternoon.

CTMH Cyber Monday Sale

Many details of the Cyber Monday sale are the same as the Black Friday sale, so much of this post will feel like déjà vu.

If you are a subscriber to the CTMH Newsletter, you will be receiving an email reminder when the sale begins this afternoon.

After starting at 5pm today, the Cyber Monday sale will end on Wednesday, December 1 at 1:59am EST (that's Tuesday at 11:59pm MST, the timezone the CTMH Corporate Office is located).

The sale features a selection of current and retired products.

Details that applied to previous flash sales also apply today:

  • Sale prices are only available on orders placed on my Maker website.
  • The sale features a selection of retired and current products at discounted prices. There is a limited number of current products set aside for the sale. Once CTMH sells through the allotted supply, those items will no longer be available, so shop early!
  • Any current items that sell out during the sale will return to availability at their normal price once the sale has ended.
  • All discounted items count toward earning VIP Credit.
  • All discounted items count towards Stamp of the Month qualification.
  • If you choose to redeem VIP Credit on sale items, you will be charged the full retail value (so save those credits for a future order).
  • Shipping and handling is based on the full retail value of the sale items.

While you are visiting my Maker Website for the sales, be sure to visit the other specials. The November SOTM will no longer be available at the same time as the Cyber Monday sale ends (don't forget, to receive the SOTM for $5 or free, if you are a VIP, be sure to add a qualifying purchase to your cart, then look for the green "add to cart" button when you are checking out). There are other specials currently available too: Merry Making, Deck the Palms, Remember Today, January Album Retreat, and for VIP Customers, VIP Flower Shop Card Box and VIP Hip Hip Hooray Workshop.

Please be patient for your order to ship; the CTMH Corporate Offices were closed November 25 and November 26. I am sure the CTMH shipping department will be busy all week getting orders ready to head out the door.

Have a great week!

November 2021 CTMH News

November 1?! Only two months remaining in 2021?! I think I've said this before, but I am occasionally still thinking the year should be 2020. I attended an online conference recently and someone wrote in the comments that they still find themselves writing "2019" when writing the date. I am so happy I am not the only one! I guess I need to buckle up - with the November and December holidays coming up, it will be 2022 before I know it.
