Custom Orders

Custom Order requests are on hold right now. Feel free to contact me regarding anything you may require for Christmas but I won't be able to work on these orders until after November 19th. I can take Christmas orders right up until December 8th of this year. Other than that my etsy store will continue to have wands that are already made and ready for shipping. Thanks!

New Shipping!!

K...so the shipping costs have been making me crazy. I hate that it costs so much! I usually end up eating a portion of the cost myself, with the cost of the mailing tube I was using and the crazy price of shipping it. So I've really been brainstorming ways of turning my small package cost into an envelope cost. I think I've found the answer.

I purchased a size three bubble envelope and have cut it in half, providing two mailers at the exact size I need! 4 x 14. So excited about this and the potential for waaayyy cheaper mailing this will provide for my customers. Gonna send out a few sample mailings before I confirm a cost.

Imaginative Play Crisis?

This is an interesting article, brought to my attention by a friend who is passionate about fostering creativity in her children. Our modern society promotes passive play to the degree that our children become detached from hands on learning and instead have a belief in push button thinking. Interesting read...

Clear Out

I have some clear out patterned wands available for purchase at $7.00 a pop plus shipping. They are imperfect, dried with a little bump or a small wrinkle. Here are the patterns available, I call them my forsaken wands...poor dears:Ribbon available for these wands in ivory, light pink and soft blue.

Contact me at nikkiworkman@gmail.com. Please specify your wand selection and ribbon color choice.

100 Wands

I just realized that my last order has made it officially 100 wands that I have sold...(not counting the many I have given away)...since I began my little wand making business. Cool!

Thanks for the continued support and encouragment.

Heather Bailey is one wise and talented craft sister...I read this on her blog bio:

Handicrafts foster a feeling of sisterhood among women. From quilting bees to craft blogs, I'm thrilled to be a part of the growing movement toward creative community.”

Girl, I couldn't agree with you more.
