New Releases At DigiStamp Boutique....

New images are now available over at DigiStamp Boutique...pop over and take a peek, there are three offers on for this month!!

Sale Still On...

The sale continues over at Crafty Emma's Store and more products will be added over the coming days plus further reductions on items already in the sale.

A few people have asked if I will keep stay open due to my pregnancy and the answer is yes.  

The reason for my sale is to clear some space and also reduce the number of product lines I stock.  I've tried to build into a sort of ''one stop shop'' over the past year but am finding that its difficult to keep stock levels where I would like them to be...hence the reason why items remain out of stock for a while.

I will be concentrating on specific items only such as papers, stamps and a variety of embellishements.  This will also give me the opening to push my wedding stationery and have more time to concentrate on that side of my business too.
