After years of selling crafts online, I finally made the decision to stop making crafts for sale. I will only be making items that I want to keep for myself. Being a full time Grandma and having limited space in my home as well as poor online sales, it just made sense to stop. I will be clearing out all my items that are already made and a ton of craft supplies that I won't be needing anymore.The decision was a hard one but it's the best one for me now . I will have more room in my home and won't feel stressed out to keep things posted on Ebay, Etsy, and my website.

Soooo with that said, I will be having a huge sale on Ebay. Most items at less than it cost for the materials....but they must go. I'll be adding items whenever time permits until everything is gone. I've already added quite a few today and will list more after Miss Pearl is sleeping tonight. I have a ton of hand stitched pillows to go through and so much more.

You can visit my Ebay store here if you'd like to take a peek.

Also if anyone is into making their own Christmas cards or does any kind of paper crafting or scrapbooking, I have and will continue to stock wonderful vintage Christmas card image CDs on Ebay. I spent years collecting old scrapbooks and boxes of cards and scanning all the images to create the CDs and I've had only the best comments from them.

God Bless :)
