About Me

Margi Gilbertson

Welcome to my website, I'm so happy you're here! I'd love to help you with all of your Close To My Heart product needs. Throughout my 28 years as a Maker, my favorite thing is sharing CTMH art with others. Whether it's at home get togethers, in person classes or online workshops, I love connecting with crafting friends near and far! If you would like to join the Close to My Heart family and my creative Hearts & Pines team, I'd love to help you. I also enjoy time with family and friends, traveling, painting, repurposing old treasures, gardening, baking & eating (ha), long walks (necessary after the previous favorite), and a pretty sunset! Thanks for stopping by! I hope you return soon! If you have any questions, please ask. I love to talk about all things CTMH! ~ Smiles~ Margi
