Welcome!

You've reached the landing page for A Bit of It All for Craftin', Cassandra Hollenbeak's Close To My Heart Independent Consultant Business in Surprise, Arizona.

Close To My Heart's mission is to "show you how to celebrate relationships through discovering your creativity, to preserve and share the moments that matter most."

CTMH has helped me to discover my own creativity and I enjoy helping you to do the same so you can preserve those treasured memories while making new ones!

Most of my classes feature gift giving ideas, altered items, card making, and scrapbook layouts. My class fees cover all materials needed for the class projects.

If you are interested in joining one of my project classes, please check the Upcoming Events listing to the right and feel free to contact me if you have any questions.
