About Me

Kristine Tanase

I have always loved all kinds of crafts. I was first introduced to Close to My Heart at a friend's home gathering. After a little thought, I decided it was time to do something for me. By becoming a consultant, I was able to get out of the house (very important to a stay-at-home mom!), meet other crafters, make money for my family, and get a discount on my own paper crafting supplies. In the fourteen years that I have been a consultant, I have enjoyed the benefits of having my own business, expanded my paper crafting skills and watched my self esteem grow! If you know of anyone who would benefit from being a consultant, do not hesitate to refer them to me. I would love to help them!
