About Me

Kathy Aardema-Zunk

School, Scouts, Sports, and Scrapbooking are my passions. Just celebrated my 24th year with Close To My Heart and 12 incentive trips around the world. You will find me creating for my monthly playgroups here at my house, my team scattered all over the US, and for my expo and retreat customers along the east coast. Back in 1998, while working as a RN, I was introduced to CTMH. This company allowed me to grow another career and create a business and a team I'm very proud to call Balloonist at Heart. Please reach out to find out more. Keep creating, Kathy AZ
