Saturday Finds

These are the cutest note cards. If like me you still love sending & receiving ‘snail mail’ then these are a must. Simply adorable, as is all of The Black Apple’sprints & paper based products. I am lucky enough to have 3 Black Apple prints in my house. I hope to add some more soon.

alot of catching up to do!!

Oh my! when you work for yourself you come home to double the work if you dare take any time off! We have returned from our 5 day adventure to Amsterdam to a mountain of badges to make & emails to answer. Please be patient with us we are working as fast as two people can. We promise to get all badges out in time.

The koolbadges workshop is gearing up for Christmas and have already added lots of festive badges to the site. Remember this is a very busy time of year from us. So would appreciate it if you could allow plenty of time for your badges to arrive!

Here are a few pics from before we went to Amsterdam

The weather was so kind

Renegade Craft Fair London

The Renegade Craft Fair

As many of you may know i am currently in Scotland for a few months & cannot make the 1st ever Renegade Craft Fair. I am really gutted as there will be some amazing crafters there selling their wears. The Fair is a fab opportunity to support the Handmade market and get some Christmas presents.

The Renegade Craft Fairs are already popular in America, im sure we can give it a warm welcome to the UK. If you manage to get along take lots of pics & send me a link to your Blog.

Friday – workshop is full steam ahead

Thanks to everyone for their response to our 50p sale so far. We have our 2 busiest days in a long time and we are hard at work printing & making your badge orders. It’s been so popular that we are going to let it run for a little while longer. If you haven’t already taken advantage of our 50% off sale, head over to the website and stock up on cheap badges.

We will probably be working all weekend is weekend, and the workshop will be open day & night to get your orders out before the Koolbadges annual holiday starts on Tuesday. We are away for little under a week in Amsterdam, but we will be checking emails quite regularly so keep ordering & sending in your enquiries.

Tomorrow is also a special day in the workshop because it’s my birthday, the perfect excuse to eat cake & drink tea. I’m hoping for some good presents this year, mostly things to take on holiday with me such as makeup and other girlie things.

Keep your orders rolling in, we love to make badges for you lot! Happy weekend.

Its as special as you make it

Autumn is by far my favourite season. Not only does my birthday happen to be in this season it also is the most beautiful & you get to wear the best clothes — jumpers & scarfs are up there with the best. Halloween also happens in Autumn & i love carving pumpkins & making spooky decorations.

To celebrate Autumn i have found some great prints

I Love Autumn
