Hello everyone!

I just wanted to update you on what’s new around here!

First & foremost – new site design!! It’s my 3rd redesign since I started, and each design I like better than the last! I have to say… I’m in love with this new site! I tried to make it modern, keep it clean & simple, and sprinkle in some personality – I think I succeeded!

Next on my list – implementing an online shopping cart. I am not new to ecommerce – those of you who know me probably already know about my super-awesome online boutique – organicbambooclothing.com (which, by the way, is much more than just bamboo clothing!)

But getting another shopping cart up & running is MUCH easier said than done, especially since I am too type A to just use one of those store builders or templates. No… much like my quilts, I have to do things my own way, from start to finish, and every silly little font has to be perfect. And I have to OWN it… it has to be on my very own server. Yes, I used to be employed in web design & search marketing.  So, needless to say I’m driving myself nuts today! Please forgive me for any down time the site might experience due to my “messing with technical things that should be left alone!”

Regardless – getting an online shopping cart is something I’ve been wanting to implement for a long time. You can still print out an order form of course – heck, you can ship your clothes with a post it note telling me what size & where to ship & I can get the job done! But not having online ordering seems a little crazy in this day & age – I get a ton of questions about how to order, so hopefully this will clear some of those up – and I really need it to move forward with some new marketing initiatives.

You’ll be able to create your quilt (s), decide how much you want to pay up front, & pay via credit card, debit card, paypal or check. Then all you need to send in are the clothes & your order number (and a check, if that’s the case.) It will also serve to let you get your “spot in line” based on when you order online, which becomes really important around Christmas!

Once that’s up & running, I have another big announcement, so stay tuned! Let’s just say 2 Jelly Beans are better than 1!
