I’m just going to come out and say it - it’s time to start prepping for the festive season. I know it feels early and we’ve not got past Halloween or Bonfire Night yet, BUT there’s certain things that if you start on them now your December self will adore you.  And I mean won’t-stop-talking-about-how-fabulous-you-are level of adoration.  Most of these apply to whether you’re a small business or a home crafter - it’s just the numbers involved that may be different.   First up just a reminder that as always with stamping it’s best to dab the ink on to...

The weekend of the 1st-2nd October is going to be BUSY!
