Published by Ruby Mole under General

Well, that didn’t take very long.  Put up a couple of my products on Folksy the other day and I had a sale within a couple of days.  Definitely well impressed as it took me nearly a year to get a sale through DaWanda.

So sad as they are a nice couple and Keith has worked so hard to [...]

I’m Still Here!!!

Published by Ruby Mole under General

Yep, just thought I’d let everyone know that I’m still alive. Things have been quite hectic around here the last 6 weeks. For those of you who may not know I help my hubby run his PC repair business and lately it has been manic. The phone just doesn’t seem to stop [...]
