Busy, busy, busy!

As you can imagine it's been a busy week for me since the sale started. I have spent every waking hour packing orders and making two daily post office trips. There is still plenty of stock left but a massive hole has been made in it, thankfully. So bob along and have a browse. You may find just what you need!

So with all the stock and order packing I have had no time for scrapping which is a bit of a disaster but I have been imagining all the spare time I will have once the shop is finally closed.

It seems a bit of a shame that so many good shops are closing at the moment. There are various reasons for this but a lot of it is due the economic climate......there just isn't the money about in a lot of cases and what money people have is needed for other things. A further reason is that some people just want something for nothing and the biggest gripe of many retailers I am in contact with, is people asking for free postage. There is no such thing as free postage unless it is a special offer. I don't believe any business can afford to cover the cost of postage such as it is at the moment. A customer buying one sheet of 12 x 12 paper immediately sends the postage band up to 'parcel' along with the appropriate charges. If someone is offering permanent free postage then it is added into their prices somewhere down the line. So don't be fooled!

Anyway off my soapbox for the moment! Hopefully I will have some scrapping to show you soon! :)
