Due to the fact that I no longer do craft shows, I have no backstock to rely on. All the leftovers have been purchased by desperate shoppers at the 11th hour for the last two Christmas seasons.

Orders will take 1-2 weeks--but CAN take up to 3 weeks from the time of placing to when you receive it. At certain times of the year especially beginning after Thanksgiving, the USPS runs a little slower than normal.

Please don't panic if a week goes by and you don't have your order. It simply can't happen that fast. This is a home business and I have a family with real life things happening just like you do. I appreciate your business and your understanding!

You can at least rest assured that I do not outsource any of my work overseas--not even to anyone else in the US except my mom and now my teen daughter is old enough to do some of the basic sewing.

When I take a site break, I will always post that on the home page so it's a good idea to check the home page first for any announcements stating that I'm away from a computer or just taking a much-needed break.

PLEASE NOTE: AOL has been known to reject messages. If you do not hear from me and you have asked a question, please either phone me during business hours, M-F 9-5 EST or use an alternative email to write me. I highly recommend if you have AOL that you also have a Gmail account. It has tons of storage and is very reliable.

I do have an AOL account just for the purpose of contacting customers who have AOL, so if you have AOL and I need to contact you for anything, I may be using this account to be sure that my message will get through. You'll know it's me by the name in the address plus I'll always include the order number or your question subject in the subject line.

Another alternative to using a credit card online would be to send a Postal money order to the address on the Contact Page . If using this method, prompt payment is not only appreciated but required. I will not start on any order until I receive the payment in the mail. If you do not receive your order, you can assume I did not receive payment. It's up to you to mail your payment as you won't receive an invoice from me. Please consider your order verification your invoice if using the mailed payment method.

If you have marked check, money order or telephone payment and change your mind, I do appreciate it if you simply let me know. I will not have started the order of course but it's very courteous to do this and will leave you in good standing with me should you decide to order again in the future.
