Rearranging for better flow

2006-07-26T21:06:00.000-07:00

Folks - we are in MAJOR revamp mode ...

We're rearranging - we want all the scrapbooking products together and all the knitting/crochetting products together.

"Finally! " You say.

"Yes, finally." Only it's going to take a wee bit...

Just think tho - we have BUY 3 GET 1 Free on almost all the yarn in the shop and 4/$1 paper for flat paper (most companies.)

I figure that people will want to be able to see the most recent items quickly. This is my response to that - we used to update our website once a month, but I think a blog will be MUCH easier to quickly update.

Instead of updating only once a month, we can easily add items on a weekly or daily basis.
