{Upcoming Vacay}

Just a reminder that I will be out of town next week (technically I'll be here shipping orders through Monday) then normal processing will resume on Monday, Feb 8th.

The shop will remain open so you can still place your order!

Have a great day!!

{2010 Pricing Updates}

For those that have been with me from the very beginning, you're aware that product prices and s/h rates have been pretty stable all these years. I think I had one small shipping increase a few years ago. And while the USPS has consistently raised their rates, we have not. This year unfortunately we do need to raise rates slightly (.55). The new s/h rates will go into effect on Wed, Jan 6th. There will still be free s/h for orders of $100 or more on inhouse orders. And of course you know we're still a fabulous deal despite this small increase, we're still priced at a fraction of other paper companies while still providing a high quality product.

Thank you so much for your business, understanding and for choosing A Touch of Whimsy Designs for your paper needs.

{There's still a little time to order!}

While our 'official' deadline has passed, I can cheerfully say that any orders placed today or tomorrow (Friday) will ship out at the end of next week. Yay! This does not include any luxe cards or PSA items (which has their own shipping deadline, see the PSA page for info).

So go ahead and order that last minute gift you totally forgot about :) And if you're really late, have it shipped direct to the recipient. We include a gift message on your behalf (and package it super cute so your recipient will be delighted). Just place a separate order for each gift recipient. If you need help, just ask!

Happy Holidays!!

{Holiday Deadline Friday!}

Just a friendly reminder that Friday, December 4th is the last day to place an order (a paper order from our studio that is) that will ship out in time for Christmas. So make sure to get your orders in quickly!

We're working feverishly to get all your orders out so please do allow the full 10 *business* days for processing and of course allow time for USPS shipping.

Need some gift ideas? Here are some top picks:

Under $10:
Our memo sheets have been very popular this holiday season. Great for teachers!

Under $15:
Folded or Flat Note Cards - can't beat having a super personalized gift shipped direct to your recipient for under $15! Great for tweens!

$25 - Acrylic Memo Sheets - ideal for teachers and professionals, you can't go wrong with this desk set.

And if you really want to give a super gift, there's the personalized stampers! Now that they are interchangeable, they have endless possibilities for your recipient. Order stampers by the following dates to guarantee arrival:
Dec 3rd - for Ground Shipping
Dec 7th - for 2nd Day Shipping
Dec 8th - for Next Day Shipping
Dec 13th - for non personalized items

Thanks so much for your business & Happy Holidays!

{Last Chance to Order before vacay}

We're taking a much needed family vacation from 10/17 through 10/25 :) The last day to place an order that will ship before we leave is Saturday, October 10th. (yep, that's tomorrow so hurry!).

You are welcome to place an order after this time, of course, which will continue processing normally until we leave, then ship upon our return. If you have any questions, just contact me.

Thanks so much and have a great weekend!

{Have a fabulous weekend}

Hope everyone has a safe and wonderful holiday weekend! Just a reminder there is no mail service on Monday (bummer, I know).

The good news is that our lunchboxes are about to be released WOOHOO! You should see them over the weekend or on or by Monday. So very excited! You'll want these for camp :)

Much love,

{Made to Match Invites}

Just a heads up that new quantities have been added to the Made to Match section for Invitations & Announcements. It'll take a little bit for me to update the regular invite section so in the meantime, use the M2M section if you need a quantity not otherwise shown.

Enjoy!

{Some font changes coming soon}

This weekend I'll be modifying our current font list. I'll be adding some new fabulous ones and removing older ones that rarely get used. I would like to streamline it a bit so if you would be so kind as to take that poll right over there --> that would be great!

Thanks so much!

{This just in...ATOWD now on Twitter}

There really isn't enough hours in the day as far as I'm concerned ;) Between 3 boys, my husband, the studio, new products, new designs, oh and decorating my home, I'm juggling a lot! (not complaining, just juggling). While I enjoy Facebook, I just get sucked into Mafia Wars every time LOL! So if you're really interested in what's going on with me (I don't know why but if you really are interested) come follow me on Twitter! Maybe I'll tweet a new coupon code or giveaway or announce something there first. Anything goes!

See you there!

I won't say when these will be released but here's a sneak peek at what's being launched shortly! One of our recent blog winners received one of these goodies :) A couple of other new products (not pictured) will be launched this season too.

{Welcome Back}

Happy 2009! I don't know about you but the holidays just flew on by! So here we are, a new year and of course I had to do some tweaking ;) As you can see, the blog got a little facelift. I'm still playing with it but hope you enjoy the new look! There's also some minor site changes going on which you should be able to notice this week during checkout ;)

In the meantime, Valentine's Goodies are available. I'm working on orders that we received over the break and also on new products that will be available during the course of this year. Lots of fun stuff!

Hope you all had a wonderful holiday!!
xoxo
