I was just going through my rather long list of blogs I keep an eye on when a post from Poppytalk jumped out at me and I just had to share it with you.

101 Reasons to Buy Handmade

So far they are upto about 60 unique answers… can you add any more and help them get to 101 reasons?

Why not send the link to all of your friends and family and get them to buy handmade, unique gifts this Christmas… and throughout the year!

On a P.S note… Hope all my U.S readers had a great Thanksgiving

New Christmas Card Sets

I’m really loving simple square designs right now… Anyway, here are the newest Christmas Card Sets.

The fabric square cards I plan on doing in a range of colors throughout the year… reds, pinks and black for Valentines, greens, blues and yellows for Easter and so on. Maybe i’ll introduce some rectangular strips as well rather than just squares… we’ll see!

Don’t forget, the last order date for shipping to the U.S and everyone outside of Europe is the 4th December. European orders need to be in before the 11th December.

November Update

Yikes, lots to tell you!

First I had my URL printed in the wallmart magazine right next to Etsy! It was an article about making cards and I wouldn’t have known if a friend and past SEO client hadnt of seen it! (Thankyou Darla!)
Second… I finally got around to changing the blog background color. That brownish creamy color was getting annoying. It’s still not quite how I want it (It’s on my to do list to tweak it some more) but it’s better than it was… What do you think?

Third… Hey you know these arent in any particular order right?

Today I packaged up a box full of Christmas goodies to go to a store in Colorado. Just waiting for the paperwork to be emailed to me before I ship - Once they arrive i’ll give you all the details!

What else… I made new fabric Christmas cards, with some more on my desk waiting to be photo’d and uploaded. I’m loving fabric and simple square designs at the moment!

At my Zazzle store I have been making 2009 wall calendar posters and I also started a vintage postage stamps gallery.

So those are all my reasons for not getting around to blogging until now!

Free Shipping

Free shipping on all items at Emelegifts whether you order 1 card which is going to America or Australia or 20 decorated glass jars to Timbuktu!!

On the gift items individual pages it still has the shipping charge up right now but in the shopping cart shipping comes up as free.
I have been having shopping cart shipping issues so now free shipping fixes my headache and saves you money - Everyone benefits! Yay

If for some reason the shipping issues are still happening please, please let me know - You will be rewarded! However on my test purchases everything is working as it should.

Frees Shipping will run until atleast January 2009. Possibly forever… we’ll see
