(No Five Minute Friday post this week…)
Note: Our web host went down a little after midnight so if you tried to order or do the scavenger hunt and had a problem, don’t worry…I will honor all orders and scavenger hunt entries through the weekend. (We will be moving hosting companies soon…which will require some downtime when it happens but it will be PLANNED. This host is just giving me too much of a headache lately!) Moving on…
The Birthday Bash was a huge success, and from what I can tell, everyone who participated had a great time. Our Facebook page was hopping with activity all three days and we added a lot of new members to our PCP group. I hope you all stick around even though the Bash is over. *grin*
First some mushiness. Thank you to my amazing design teams and my guest designers who participated in the big blog hop. You all did incredible projects and I am so proud to know you and work with each of you. A special thanks to my core design team, most of which have been with me since day one. I’m so honored to call each of one of you my friend, all because I decided to open a little online store to feed my habit and supply my close friends. It was the best move I ever made.
A very special thanks to Deb, my wonderfully talented friend and DT challenge coordinator, who worked long and hard to make sure these three Birthday Bash days came together as they needed to and did! I certainly couldn’t have done it without you.
And to each one of you, my customers, who come back time and time again and who I try to serve as quickly and efficiently and friendly as possible. Without you, none of this would exist or be possible. So, thank you. And please know that my phone line and email is always open for suggestions, questions, recommendations or just to chat. I need to know what you want or need or wish I carried in order to continue to serve you and make i {heart} papers the place you tell all your friends about!
Thank you all for making these two years possible and exciting and rewarding and I look forward to many more years of serving you and getting to know you more and more.
