News from me
Hi everyone. Well this is something I have been putting off for a week or so. I have decided to close up my shops and take a break from designing. I have some mixed emotions about it, but I know it’s the best thing for me right now.
There are a few reasons, but the majority of them stem from how much time I spend on my computer on a daily basis. I love designing but lately the competition has begun to get to me. I have started questioning my style wondering if I should ‘change me’ to sell more, and that doesn’t make sense. I have to be me, right? The second reason is that I have really gotten away from scrapping my own youngsters, and I want to get these moments on paper for when they grow up. I love looking back at my four year olds books already, and I am way behind on them now, and just beginning my two year olds books.
Ok, enough sad drama! I don’t know if I will be back… that is entirely possible. But for now both my Inspiration Lane and my Scrappity-Doo-Dah shop will be closing up in a few days.
So you have a few days left to cash in on my store closing sale. I am having a really cool BUILD YOUR OWN BAG sale at both stores. Here are the options! You have until Monday to snag what you want: CU, PU, templates, whatever!
(see below for a COUPON on the BYOBs)
Also if you only want to grab one or two products, everything in my store is $2.00 except my BUILD YOUR OWN BAGS, of course. Anyone who purchases the BYOB, I have been tossing in an ‘extra’ special product for everyone as a thank you!
*excludes some collabs
I want to take a minute now to thank everyone for making this experience so wonderful. I really met so many kind-hearted, sincere people since I began this journey two years ago (OMG, I can’t believe it’s been that long). I wouldn’t have lasted this long if it it weren’t for you guys!
I hope you’ll take advantage of my sales, and I will be seeing you guys around the scrap land :) If my screen name isn’t Steel City Scraps, it’s rachnmaddie and feel free to add me to YAHOO IM under that name as well! I might send you guys out some freebies now and again here or in my newsletter, just as a creative outlet!
((hugs 2 u))

Rachel, I bought a bag and emailed you on January 22, but I never heard back from you.

You’ll be missed Rachel! I totally understand that sometimes you just have to simplify and get back to your true loves! Thanks for the parting coupon and sale - I’m off to shop!
Rachel-
I know this was a tough decision for you and your designs will be missed. I know how you feel because I felt sad when I had to quit several of my CT assignments (including you and Christie) due to the fact that I was spending too much time on the computer and not enough with the kids. Good luck in all your future endeavors and enjoying all your scrapping for fun!!
you’ll be missed rachel. maybe in the near future you’ll be back online. i loved you kits! i was in the IL boutique to buy some but didn’t find any of your stuff. sad, i didn’t get hold of your ‘every girl’s dream’ kit. anyway, see you around the digiworld.
