I am so disappointed, I am having to remove discount codes from my Twitter, Pinterest and Facebook home page because people are just using the code without following so my 'real' followers are losing out!

However the 'real' followers will notice one week only codes especially for them so that this does not happen again!

Just thought I should let loyal customers know that lots of new products will be appearing this year when we actually manage to find the time!

We are struggling to care for my fiercely independent mother who is extremely reluctant to accept the inevitable and move into a care home. She currently resides in a totally unsuitable first floor flat and is virtually imprisoned because her mobility is very poor. Consequently we are often being called out in the middle of the night as well as accompanying her to hospital appointements, dealing with doctors, care and social workers etc. etc. etc.

All this is taking it's toll on me in particular as I am no spring chicken, but I can assure you I am doing my best both for mum, and our customers.

Please bear with us through this difficult time.

Well what a pickle to be in! Our second in command (my daughter Rhonda) has slipped on ice and broken her wrist in 2 places just before the manically busy 1st week in December.

We are doing our absolute utmost to keep up with masses of orders but there may be inevitable delays as a very important member of the team is incapacitated. Please bear with us, we will be working all hours to ship your orders!

Well the run up to Christmas is testing our stamina again! Orders are flooding in and we are struggling to keep up with the packing and posting although at least our post is collected by Royal Mail now because we have so many sacks.

Family and friends have been drafted or even press ganged into the warehouse to assist with order picking and packing!

In 4 weeks it will all be over and we shall breath a large sigh of relief, have a few days off then begin again for Valentines day.

No rest for the wicked....

We have been very lucky to have been featured in the September issue of Craft Stamper magazine, though they did make a teensy weensy little mistake over the cost of our patterned tissue paper!

They said it was priced from £1.39 PER SHEET, rather than £1.39 PER PACK. Whoops, let's hope they feature us again soon to make amends for their error lol.
