Good Morning Paper Bead Friends!
I first wanted to take a minute to thank all of you for your continued support of my small business. I enjoy beading so much and to be able to offer them to you is a dream come true! Your support means the world to me!
I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas and are ready to move on to a brand-new year ahead! I certainly am as 2025 was not the best year for me at all. Turning 60 was REALLY hard on me and caused a downward spiral into a bout of depression that I don’t care to talk about nor continue. So to say I am ready to move forward to a new year is an understatement!
I continue to really enjoy making the new disc beads for the shop! The gorgeous napkins I’ve been finding seem endless! I’ve also been dabbling in some paper crafting projects that I’ve had a ball with and will be bringing them into the shop after the first part of the year! There will be some changes made in the new year, and I want to make sure you are all made aware of them. The cost of shipping continues to rise. I have no choice but to raise the shipping prices to reflect that. I choose to purchase the Etsy shipping labels because it offers the seller a discounted shipping cost and that will always be passed on to you! I will never be able to adjust my products to reflect what I really feel they are worth, if you add the cost of labor into them! But I choose to try and offer all at a fair and reasonable price to you! The amount of paper bead sellers at Etsy have consistently grown and the competition is fierce but ALWAYS know that I am the ONLY BEADER in my shop and put my heart and soul into everything that I make! The making of my beads and jewelry come from my heart and that is a fact!
To prepare for the new year and new items, I am offering 25% off everything in the shop NOW through January 1st, no code needed, to say THANK YOU for supporting my little shop! Just go straight to https://thepaperbeadboutique.etsy.com and start stocking up on all the pretties!
Thank you again for your continued support and may your new year be the best for you! Until next time,
Happy Beading!
