Joyeux Noel

Just listed...the sweetest little French Girl around! I found and purchased this image from a great Etsy shop, http://www.harmonicagoldfish.etsy.com/. It was orignially from a piece of vintage holiday wrapping paper. I "cut" her out digitally, cleaned her up a bit and Voila, a lovely holiday card! I think she's French, so "Joyeux Noel." Set of 6, printed on 100% Recycled Certified Green kraft paper with matching envelopes. Enjoy!

Merci Beaucoup!

I get lots of requests for unique "Thank You" notes during the Holiday Season. Alas, I've started adding some new designs to the shop. Printed in bold black on 100% Recycled, Certified Green Kraft Paper with matching envelopes. Simple, elegant, just right!

Enjoy!

A New Season...

Back in June as the Summer began, I had lots of "big ideas" for The Craft Pantry over the Summer. Though I wasn't ready to hear it at first, God had other plans. As I worked on these new designs, ideas and projects, things were imbalanced and not coming together at all. One struggle after another. This was in stark contrast to the easy, breezy, busyness I had been enjoying in months prior. All of a sudden, routine tasks were hard, frustrating, stressful and everything that could break did. Even so, I kept pushing forward determined to make the Summer months exciting for The Craft Pantry. No, such luck. At the end of June, my Hard Drive crashed...toasted, done, no go, inoperable, finished. Now, I knew I couldn't run a shop without my computer, design files, etc. Finally, (I'm the kind of gal who needs to be hit over the head on occasion to get the point), I listened to His plan.

I closed shop in July out of necessity, then I closed shop in August out of desire. While The Craft Pantry has been dormant for 2 months, I was given the gift of an amazing Summer immersed in the life's of my two small children and husband. Priceless!

Now, refreshed, re-prioritized and re-balanced, it's time to open The Craft Pantry again. Amazing how easily things fall into place when it's His will. So, next week, before Sept 12, The Craft Pantry doors will open and I welcome you all inside! I'm excited about the new season!

Extended Closure Notice

The Craft Pantry will be closed for the month of August. I wish I could say it is for an extended vacation in the Bahamas, on my own personal yacht, but, I dream. In July my hard drive crashed and MANY graphics files went POOF! We're talking HUNDREDS of files. Thankfully, I had most of them backed up. Of those that were not backed up, I've been able to recover all of them. However, many of those recovered need editing/repair, especially those that included specialty fonts. Sooo, I can't open shop until I restore the graphics I use for product creation and know for certain if there are any I can no longer use. Thank You for your patience!

International Shipping Suspended

Do to recent difficulty with International shipping, The Craft Pantry is not going to be taking International orders at this time. The main reason, packages shipped via First Class International (the least expensive option) DO NOT have tracking and are not covered by the PayPal Seller Protection. Here are a few other reasons:

1) As stated, there is no Tracking or Delivery Confirmation for USPS First Class International packages, thus, if they get lost, both the buyer and me are out of luck.
2) Almost all of the International orders I receive are NOT insured by PayPal when shipped
3) The International packages I send often get opened by Customs and searched. Of late, many of these packages are getting "stuck" in customs. Many of them are not re-sealed properly, thus merchandise is either taken or falls out. I end up replacing a lot of orders for this reason and I lose money every time.
4) Unlike First Class Domestic packages, which I can drop in a drop box or have my Postman pick up, I have to hand deliver First Class International packages to a Post Office, (in my case 15 minutes away).
