So Sad - 2016 Retiring Items List

Close to My Heart released the 2016 Retiring List yesterday.  The release of this list is always so bittersweet for me.  In my mind I understand that we cannot keep everything.  We need to make way for new products and there is only so much room in the Close to My Heart warehouse.

However, in my heart I am said to see some of my favorites leaving.  I struggle with just letting these products fade into memory or soothing my hoarding instinct by buying 20 of each and then purchasing even more later because what if I need them in a future product?  I bet none of you can understand this, can you?

So I wanted to let you know what is going to happen.  This is the non-stamp list.  I will post the stamp list in a few days after I get over my mourning of their upcoming loss. (Sniff - sniff).

These items are now while supplies last.  When they are gone, they are gone.  They will no longer be available after July 31, 2016.  One of the biggest shocks for me with this list is that we are retiring 3 of our Cricut cartridges.  You will see that our Cricut Art Philosophy, Artiste, and Artfully Sent are all on this list.  Our rolling tote is on the retiring list as well.

So, be sure and get your purchases in or schedule a gathering or workshop so you can get these items at 1/2 price.

The good news is that the emergence of a retiring list means that we will be getting lots of new and exciting products in our new 2016-2017 Annual Inspirations catalog.  Click on any of the links below to see the product and place your order before they are gone.
