Awesome Customer Service

You know, people love to share when they get horrible service but hardly ever talk about getting terrific service. So I wanted to share a great experience I had over the weekend.

Just recently I order from Shimmerz and wondered why my order was taking a little longer than normal. They are a family run business and I thought perhaps they went on vacation or someone was sick, but just wanted to double check. Not only did they respond to me within minutes of my inquiry, they discovered it was a problem with PayPal; they never received my order or payment. Well as quickly as that a new order was placed and I received a personal e-mail from the owner Stacey saying they were expiditing my order.

Not only do they have awesome products, but they also have awesome service for their customers. So the next time you receive excellent service from someone, let them know. Or even better, let their manager know how much you appreciate them.

Cute Little Lady Bug

Sorry for being MIA for a while. Work has been hectic and I haven't had time for any crafting fun. I made a number of purchases in the last few weeks, so hopefully this weekend I will have a few cards completed with images from TGF, Pink Cat Studio, DRS Designs, and Simply Sassy Design Studio.

I do have one card to show you today. I ordered the most adorable lady bug stamp from DRS Designs last week. When I opened the package, I just dropped everything and had to create a quick card. Her spots have been highlighted with Stickles - Star Dust.

Isn't she cute?

Lady Bugs

MyGraficO posted a great free lady bug digi-stamp and I could not resist putting together a few cards.

The dark black spots on the lady bug were made dimensional using Crystal Effects from Stampin' Up. It was the first time I used the product and loved the effect.

Tuesday Morning Sketches

Tuesday Morning Sketches posted a really fun challenge this week. We had to create a card using the following sketch:I pulled out my new turtle stamp from DRS Designs and knew that I wanted to turn him into a birthday turtle. This card is going to a co-worker who collects turtles.

I think she is going to love this card. What do you think?
