Valentine's Rush 2012

Crikey! My last post was 11th January and I had just reached the big 3000 sales in my Etsy shop. Well, I'm pleased to say I'm now up to 3223 sales and have JUST got all of my international Valentine's Day card orders posted. Phew! No more cards will be delivered in time for February 14th now unless you are in the UK.

This is just a quick update to let anyone who is waiting for a card know that I'm cutting and posting as fast as my little (actually quite big) hands will let me. All UK orders will be in time for Valentine's Day, so fear not. I hope you all like your cards and posters and a big thank you for your orders and support. This month has been amazing (but crazy)!

Happy Valentine's Day!

Happy red and pink day to you all! I'm excited to think that today is the day when the most Storeyshop cards will be given and received. I love that they will be proudly sat on windowsills and mantlepieces around the world (and on top of old vintage TV's like ours!). Mr Storeyshop hasn't come home from work to find his yet but here it is. It's our first Valentine's day as Mr and Mrs Foers so I thought I'd get the name in...






And all the little left over bits!

Valentine's Rush II

It isn't quite as crazy as this time last year but I am still slightly drowning in card orders! I'm not complaining because I'm loving all the sales and all the fab feedback from customers but I am really looking forward to taking a couple of days off when the day of love is upon us (I've worked every weekend so far this year!). Anyway, that explains my lack of blog posts recently and my slightly boring one this time. I will be back soon with more exciting news...oh, and some photos of my wedding invitations and how I made them!

Storeyshop Cards: Mission Complete

Finished! Over 250 hand-cut Valentine's cards made and posted off around the world. My arms and hands are aching now so I am looking forward to a whole weekend off! I have been getting some great feedback from happy customers too which is always fab! Here are some more highlights from the card rush...

Storeyshop Weekend

Another solid weekend of card cutting! I have just taken the latest batch of 24 down to the post office. I must be helping to keep the local post office in business.




I am just having a quick tea, chocolate Buttons and blog break so I will add a couple of my recent card offerings before getting back to my scalpelling. Sorry to those people I have had to turn down for Valentine's orders but I don't want to promise to get cards to you in time when it may not be possible. I am hoping to get all the Valentine's orders posted by Wednesday afternoon to allow an extra day or two of postage time. A few first class cards have been turning up a day or two late lately, maybe because of the snow. I hope they all arrive in time for the day of love and go down very well with their intended!

Card Rush II

The card rush is most definitely back on! The 'Look' readers and other buyers are placing lots of orders for cards and monkeys. I have over 60 current personalised Valentine's card orders on the 'to do' list so I had better get back to it!

Here are some of my recent favourite orders..

Storeyshop Xbox card Waiting List

Just to say there are a limited number of Xbox cards available to order again now for those people who have asked..

Please allow up to a week for them to be made and around 7 working days for international shipping on top of that. Postage within the UK will be first class and will arrive the day after your card is finished.

Storeyshop Valentines Cards

72 hand-cut Valentines cards made and posted (since last Wednesday) and 54 to go. I am officially more than halfway through the card marathon! There is a waiting list for Xbox cards and I will contact anyone who has asked for one to let them know if and when I can get more made in time for Valentines Day (I'm hoping I can!). I'll also post on here, my Etsy shop and my Facebook group if more become available (everyone is very welcome to join my FB group).

Will write more soon. I better get back to the card cutting..

The Power of Blogs!

65 card orders from the fellas now and counting! It just shows how fast words gets around on those fantastic blogs (see my last post). I better get back to cutting cards...

A few hours later: The order list is now at 126!
