Fabulous Fun Flower Store!!

   I found a fabulous place to buy "Flowers" and wonderful card embellishments and it's called Wild Orchard Crafts.  I had noticed they often sponsor a lot of online challenges, so I decided to check out the store.  I had browsed a few times, and at first was a bit reluctant to order, as they are in the the UK, and I was not very familiar with them.  But after seeing the store promoted several times, I decided to give it a try and I was very happy I did.  If you know me well, you'll know the I love the new "mini roses" that you often see on cards and when I realized they also sold them and lots of other wonderful flowers I placed my first order.



  As I mentioned, they are located in the United Kingdom, but happily ship the the US and you can find a USD Conversion calculator right on the website.  I placed my first order on Sunday, March 14th and it arrived today.  I think 12 days is fantastic and that alone was the first good sign.  The package arrived in great shape and all of the flower set are each individually packages inside.   I bought 7different items (flowers, mini bows and one set of decorative pins and my grand total INCLUDING shipping was only $19.73, which is fantastic.    I am very  impressed and the flowers are gorgeous, I really love them and think the quality and pricing is a wonderful.
  Here are a few of the sets the I purchased --   Click Here -- and I bought these, and these too!  I used my PayPal account, which was perfect and the Customer Service and Communication was fabulous.  I am very happy and pleased and can now happily recommend this store to my crafty friends.

  ENJOY and Happy Shopping!!  I will definitely shop here again!

Awww Lisa - we'd hate for you to not play along so feel free to make something with stickers instead and just mention that you don't have any peel offs. Bah! Humbug! is a fun challenge blog after all and we want everyone to be able to participate =)
Hope to see you.

Ann,
You are so sweet, but I am in the US and it may be costly to send me the peel-offs, but I truly thank you for the kind offer. I wonder if they are NEW and may eventually make it over here, or maybe were used before I stared card-making? You can certainly feel free to email me at - Purple_Place@verizon.net - and again, thanks for you kind offer.

I will also work on a card this weekend and use some "Holiday Stickers" that I have instead of Peel-Offs. I really enjoy the challenge and it's been FUN getting cards done ahead of time for Christmas!

Thanks so much and Happy Crafting!!

A Little About Me

My photo
Northeastern, Massachusetts, United States
Purple is my favorite color and ironically - Purple is the Awareness Ribbon color for Fibromyalgia, a chronic illness I lived with for over 18 years. In, March of 2015, I was diagnosed with Stage IV Lung Cancer which had spread to my brain. I am fighting hard to win this battle and determined to beat it. I have a amazing Oncology Team, along with the LOVE and SUPPORT of all my family and friends! I am a Mom to two grown sons, Alex is now 25 and married to Acacia, my wonderful new "Daughter" and the parents to my precious Grand-Daughter Harper, and Brian amazingly is 30 and now lives in San Diego. My boys are the greatest loves of my life. Hubby, me and our two "Pups", Skye and Zeva, two adorable Chiweenies we rescued in 2012, all live very happily in a tiny coastal town in Massachusetts. We lost our dear "Scoutie", a Purebred Dachshund, in April of 2015. I still miss him and will forever cherish his memory. I am an avid card-maker and totally love every minute I can spend in my craft room. It's become my passion, a wonderful way to relax and is my form or "therapy".
