<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Wow, guys. I just wanted to take a minute to say THANK YOU to everyone who took advantage of the moving sale I advertised last week. I told you all about my upcoming move<\/a>, and how I thought maybe I could lighten up my packing load by holding an impromptu 40% off sale…. well, within about a day and a half, I had sold out<\/em><\/strong> of every single physical product on my website.<\/p>\n It took me all the way through the weekend to get everything shipped. I was most certainly not expecting that level of sales, and I thank you all again from the bottom of my heart for making this such a success (and you definitely lightened the packing for me!)<\/p>\n I try not to get too overly personal here on my site, but I know there are some of you who have been reading my blog for quite some time, and know that I lost my husband about 7 years ago, not long after I began my ornament business. And so, when I announced the sale and the fact that I was moving with my boyfriend to the Gulf Coast, I unexpectedly received tons of emails, wishing my kiddos and I well in this new chapter of our lives. I just don't have words to describe how much that meant to me.<\/p>\n On another note, I also wanted to mention that were a couple of technical issues with my shopping cart system. The main thing that went wrong was that some of you who ordered patterns, were sent to a thank you page…. but there were no patterns. I am honestly not sure what went wrong there, and I'm still trying to work it out. The main reason I still haven't found the cause is because this happened very intermittently. Most patterns were delivered just fine. Only some of them weren't.<\/p>\n I know how frustrating that must be, especially when there are so many people out there these days who really do<\/em> want to take your money and run! I promise that I am not one of those people.<\/strong> <\/em>This little ornament biz is not only how I make my living, but it's also my heart & soul. If you were one of the people who bought a pattern, and then did not receive it, please contact me<\/a> right away, and I will personally MAKE SURE you get your pattern(s), along with my sincere apology for the trouble.<\/p>\n The other curve ball my shopping cart decided to throw at me was that it over<\/em>sold some ornaments. I am guessing that was caused by several people attempting to buy at the same time. Rather than emailing those customers with the bad news that I no longer had that ornament available, I am making those extra orders as quickly as I can. To everyone it happened to, I've emailed you to let you know that's why you haven't received your ornament yet, and you'll be getting it within a few days!<\/p>\n So that's about it! And, oh! I do want to add that I know the ornaments and kits went SO fast, and I received a few not-so-happy emails from folks who wanted to buy one, but by the time they got here, everything was gone. I completely understand the frustration, and I am truly sorry! My plan for the next month is to get this move behind me (it's next week!), and once I'm settled into my new workspace, I will be putting together a new collection of ornaments and kits to be released sometime in November. I will make sure to give you more details of the sale as I get it all nailed down. (Make sure you're on my email list<\/a> and following me on Facebook<\/a>…. those are the 2 places I announce any news and sales.)<\/p>\n I can't say it enough times: THANK YOU, from the bottom of my heart, and happy ornament-making! :)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Wow, guys.
