Finally: My "Shop" is going...

Good news today. After a lot of work and long struggling with the technical side of things, I've finally got my little "shop" on line. No, I'm not going into business - this is just a larger version of the few albums of sales stuff I used to feature on my Picturetrail, and it features only things I'm selling off out of my stash - mainly craft materials and some other bits and bobs like my collection of cross pendants, some other collector's items, a few books etc., and also some Needlecrafts materials and handcrafted items selling on behalf of SfP for charity.

I have to admit that I'm using a free webshop programme and it's not fantastic - for example it doesn't have a tare weight feature, which means you need to add the packaging material yourself - and please don't forget it because orders without packaging will have wrong shipping added! So, there is a welcome and introduction on the homepage - please read it, which asks you to read the Terms&Conditions - so please read them, too, before shopping. Then you can go shopping like in any other webshop: put stuff in your basket, sign in/register, pay and wait for your goodies... (You can pay via Paypal, personal cheque or UK Postal Order; overseas via Paypal only).

I hope this will be a great improvement for me to sell the lots of goodies I have accummulated and don't really use, and as well as for your "shopping experience" with me. Everything has a photo and a description, so you'll know better what you are getting.

I'm still in the process of adding more things, and will probably from time to time go through my stash to clear out things that haven't been used, so do come again once in a while.

And here, after all my babble, is the link: phcrafts.plus.com (just click on it or enter into your addy line without www. at the front!). I'll also add this link to the link bar at the right of this blog in case you wish to find the site again in the future...

I hope to see some of you as my "customers" in the shop soon...

Boohoo...

Not a Happy Bunny today! I'm so disappointed. I had been looking forward to my holiday in St Andrew's/Scotland for the Scottish Dancing Summer School for so long (I'd booked it in February!) and today is the day I should have gone! But...I have a bad ankle that doesn't lend itself to dancing or hill-walking! And so I'm still in good old Chertsey and will be singing at the afternoon service at a local residence for the elderly instead... Nice enough, but of course no comparison to being on holiday and practising my favourite hobby!
However, I've promised myself to still get some "holiday" out of this week by doing at least lots of stuff that I like, such as lots of scrapbooking and reading and being out in the sunshine. (Yes, the big yellow thing is finally in the sky - I'd almost given up hope, but the last week was nice off and on, and since yesterday it has been positively hot.) And I've already started finishing some of the ALS pages off (the blank pages I showed a few posts down) - so here they are:

The title is the first line of one of my favourite songs (from "The Man La Mancha") - the photos
are from my early days in England when I really loved the feeling of freedom and being
able to do all those outdoorsy adventurous things, with and without Sean...

Photos taken at a pub dinner stop during our canalboat holiday
last summer - with our friends Kate and Nicole.

This LO was inspired by the worded cutouts that came with the kit - they reminded me of all
the worries I used to go through before the slalom competitions, thinking I'd never get anywhere:
this was the Promotion to Div 3.

A LO on my dear friend Eve - both photos taken during day trips the summer before last.
The title panel is made from a Valentine's card I received from Tinny, a friend in the US.
