Arty Crafty Treasure News ...

Happy Arty Weekend! Morning chatter on Saturday 18th inbetween trimming garden edges and mowing grass (it's not manicured enough to call it lawn) - we had heaps of that wet stuff fall from the sky (over 30mm in total) and everything is growing beautifully!

Easter came and went... May is on the horizon which brings us Mother's Day, my birthday, Tim's third delivery of Palette Papers, and lots of days for artying and craftying :)

I sent a newsletter out on Thursday. Did you get it? It was short and informative :) And it used the default Shopify email which includes a bunch of numbers and things - my regular one is playing up, but still works perfectly well for replying and chatting. If you haven't received it, please check the junkmail. Not that I send it often, I only send it when there is something special to say, like the sale. All the details about new releases and arrivals is written here in our shop blog, with brief updates also in the What's New and PreOrder categories.

Read on for the arty news of about Dina, Dyan and Stampers Anonymous Thickboard (Etcetera Board) Birdhouses, which are very cool. Other news I've moved to the bottom so the latest is at the top, but still available if you'd like to read it.

Have an awesome arty crafty weekend! :D Jenny

Happy Easter!

With crazy world issues, fuel dramas and chocolate, tea and coffee threatening to go higher in price, all is not lost. We have Easter this weekend! Extra days to be doing what we all love - crafting, arting, cutting up fabrics, stitching, tearing up paper, making an inky painterly mess - time with family and friends is nice too :) Stay safe on the roads! Do whatever You wish to do and have a Happy Creative Easter!

Happy Arty Easter! Some days I rely heavily on coffee and my ability to ignore reality - and these last few days are no exception! 😂

As of Sunday 5th April ... My website is finally fixed! Thank goodness! So glad that drama is over. 🙄 Thank you for the messages and support! 🌀🐰🎨🌻

Sorry! Life interrupted with technical hitches! Thankfully it is all fixed :) I apologise for any inconvenience it may have caused. We were updating our website to be faster, more efficient reliability and ran into into a few speedbumps. Please be aware there may be more interruptions over the next few days as our emails are now misbehaving ;p

More good news ... the Shopfiy Shop App works beautifully and being an app is secure and easy to use! I was reminded that it was a fabulous option, thanks to a wonderful regular customer who ordered via the app ... https://shop.app/m/artbyjenny ... (this is the link to the computer version) find it in the Apple App Store or Android/Google Store. If you click this link, your phone or tablet should ask you if you'd like to use the app.

The app itself is a purple icon with the word 'shop' in lowercase letters. If you don't want to shop using an app, at least you can enjoy a wander through our shelves. Thank you so much for being wonderfully patient!

Our Creative Space craft blog has the chatter about my Easter page, along with other colourful makes crafted out of Tim's Palette Paper, Dyan's Dylusions Stamps and Dina's Chroma Transparencies!
