Deadline is here!

Hello! Holiday hours are in effect & I want to let you all know that the Christmas deadline has now been pushed up to this Thursday, November 29th. I cannot guarantee holiday delivery after that point for any product, be it in-house or outsourced. After this Thursday, the site will be closed for ordering & will not reopen until Wednesday, January 2nd.

Hurry... you've only got 2 days left to order for 2007!

I hope you all are having a great (almost) December!

Holiday Deadline

Christmas is getting very close! Too close for me since I have not purchased one gift. Everyone continues to impress me with your timely gift-buying skills. See, I have NONE of that going on around here! Luckily I have a tree that is decorated which I chose to do over the holiday weekend.

Just a quick reminder about the Christmas order deadline. Sunday, Dec 2nd will be the last day to place orders to arrive before Christmas. I wish I could cut it off now b/c I could really use the extra time to finish up! I will keep you posted during the week to see how it's coming. If need be, I may just have to cut it off mid-week. I am keeping my fingers crossed, though.

Any orders placed after the said deadline will not be processed until 2008! Please keep that in mind this week. I am ready for the holidays myself & need to get in tune w/my family :)

Also, I am no longer accepting custom work. Those of you who have already contacted me for custom photo cards, etc., you are on my list & I will be able to help you. However no new jobs are being accepted.

Thank you all so much for such a successful season!!

Elf on the Shelf

Please note that I will only be ordering Elf on the Shelf on an AS-NEEDED-BASIS from now through the Christmas season. Thanksgiving delivery is not possible at this point as I am sold out & will not be getting my new shipment until early next week.

Thanks so much!!!

Melissa & Doug

Did you know that we now carry Melissa & Doug toys? Yep... we've got tons of inventory ready to go for you! Our prices are unbeatable, too. We sell at over 10% off retail so it's a bargain! Thanksgiving holidays will bring all the toys that are available to the site!

Stay tuned... Christmas shopping will be fun by adding these great, award-winning toys!

Upgrade!

Over the next 24 hours I will be upgrading my company computer. I have been hanging on by a thread using my wonderful laptop but it's time to upgrade! I am in danger of losing very important info due to system OVERLOAD! So, please be patient (yes, even MORE than you've already been) so I can work even more efficiently for YOU!

Thanks :)

Design Your Own

If you have visited us at any of the shows we have been doing this fall, you've had the fun of experiencing the "Design Your Own" display that we have set up at our booth. I have recently updated the product selection on the site to include the small java mama, checkbook covers & can holders. I have also added the swatches to the site here.

For those of you who haven't seen our booth, the swatches that you see on the insert page can be applied to any of our "Design Your Own" line of products (sippy cups, java mama's, kid kup, checkbook covers, can holders & plates). If you see a pattern that you like on the swatch page, pick your favorite, pick your font & add that to your description on whatever product you want :)

I hope you have as much fun shopping online as my customers have had in person. It's so much fun picking out your very own personalized products!

Happy shopping :)
