Hello! I have a quick update on my Etsy shop in case you are interested in ordering holiday gifts. The shop will be on holiday November 1-11. The 11th is actually before I get home, so all orders placed on the 11th or 12th will be shipped the following Monday. The last day to order before my trip is Monday, October 31. The shop will close that evening, but I can still prepare orders for shipping after it’s closed. If you have anything in mind already or would like to look around the shop the link is below. I highly (highly!) encourage early shopping because the shipping times are sure to be slow as the holidays approach, just as they’ve been the last couple of years. The shop will remain open after November 12 until December 7. Hopefully that will leave plenty of time for holiday shipping. I will also reopen the shop after Christmas if timing is not an issue for you. Also, a heads up- November is my birthday month and I usually do a birthday sale around Thanksgiving. Stay tuned for news about that.
In addition to the new ornaments above I’ve been adding new journals. Beeswax thread waxers are back in the shop now that the weather is cooling down. I didn’t want to ship them during the summer heat! There is a Christmas section for various items that are obviously Christmas themed. Be sure to check all the sections as some items have moved around. I have just photographed a bunch of new journals, but I am not sure I’ll have time to list them before my trip. Look for new items after the 12th if you’d like a bigger selection. Also, I have completed two Christmas junk journals, but have a few more planned. They will be listed when I get back. In the meantime the items below are in the shop and ready to ship along with a number of other goodies. There are still Halloween journals left if you’d like to do some memory keeping after the fact. I have grand plans to do two Halloween journals- one for my childhood Halloweens and one for my kids’ Halloweens. They’d be mostly photo based, but I think would be super fun to get out every year and reminisce.
Lastly, I’ve been working on my YouTube channel to post videos of my shop items so you can see them better and hear me talk about them. I hope that’s helpful if you are unsure about purchasing from my shop. I’ve also been adding listing videos on Etsy for short clips. I am always available for questions or comments which you can leave on YouTube, here on my website, or you can send an Etsy message. Just a note, for blog post comments I can only reply on the post. I can’t send you a direct reply. If you’d like a reply directly you will need to use the Contact Me page which will get your email address and allow me to reply directly to you. Again, if there’s anything you’d like to see on video send a message so I can consider it. That’s all for now, more news in mid-November!
