Hello!

Hello, and welcome to my blog...and well I guess my shop too! Stamped by Jayne!

I thought I'd take this opportunity whilst I am waiting for some of my stock to arrive so I can start crafting, to explain the purpose of this site and a bit of background about me.

Recently engaged, I decided that it would be fun to make my own wedding stationery...and now I've well and truly caught the bug!  I had so many ideas going round in my head in styles and colours that wouldn't even fit in with my wedding, that I ended up not being able to sleep properly. 

And don't get me started on the price of some of the pretty things that I was looking at on the internet.  If there is one thing that really annoys me about weddings it's the fact that you just have to mention the word "wedding" and pound symbols flash up in people's eyes.  Here in the UK, if you wanted to hire a venue for a 50th birthday party and food for 50 guests it would cost you a certain amount.  However, change that to a wedding reception and keep the same food and same number of guests and suddenly the price of everything triples.  And its the same with things like invitations, gift tags, thank you cards, favour boxes and all other wedding related paraphernalia. 

Here you will always find wedding stationery at a reasonable price that pretty much costs what it costs me to make them - I'm in it for the fun of making the things and not for ripping people off!

I've created separate pages for the various things that I intend to sell.  Please bear with me while I set this up, take pictures, get used to having a layout that isn't just one basic blog post  etc - I work full time so I am doing this all in my spare time and I'm not a web designer (hence the BlogSpot website as oppose to a "traditional" one.)

I'm also going to write a few blog posts about wedding colours, themes etc that are popular in 2014 and 2015 and maybe some more unusual ones too, to give you some ideas because lets face it when you start planning a wedding you have absolutely no idea where to start...unless you are Monica Geller and you have been planning this since you were a child.  I say thank goodness for Pinterest!
