About Me

Tara Hendrickson

Close To My Heart is ALL THE FUN! I am a full-time tax professional, a full time pet mom, and I take care of a house full of grown men (my dad, my brother, and my husband). So you can imagine that I need a creative outlet to de-stress, detox, and de-clutter my mind. I originally started with CTMH in 2015. While I have had to take breaks here and there, I've never truly left. I'm CTMH for life! I love being a part of the Close To My Heart family I don't think I'll ever stop wanting to do this. I love the creative flexibility that these products give me because I am by no means an artist; but these projects help me feel like one. They are amazing quality and if I can dream it up then I can make it with CTMH. Don't believe me? Let me show you!
