My very best wishes for all of you in the coming New Year!
Are all of you gearing up for your winter projects?
I see that many new people have been visiting the website! That is in large part due to the ladies who have listed my site on their blog or website! I want to thank you all sincerely for your great generosity, and the big boost it has given the site!
I'll be adding a few more links to my site as well, so I hope you'll visit the Links page soon! http://www.eveningstardesigns.citymax.com/page/page/3908681.htm
Many of you have been asking about the Treasures Club I hope to begin in March 2007 sometime. I thought I'd give you some idea of what that will be all about!
When you sign up, you'll automatically get a package of "Treasures" from Evening Star Designs once a month and be billed just $20.00 which will include the shipping costs.
What will be in the packages? A wonderful surprise collection of some of the following: Trims, Lace, Ribbon, Embroidery threads, sometimes fabrics, buttons, beads, charms, and other things for CQ and embellishment!
Each package will be centered around a theme, which could be a thing, a season, a color - most anything! In fact, I'd really appreciate suggestions of things you'd like to see - that will help insure that I am able to put together packages that you'll be sure to enjoy.
I'm hoping to add things to the packages that are not necessarily things I ordinarily carry - to help you build your stash, and try new things! I'm hoping also to send a brief newsletter with each package with some suggestions on how to use some of the more unusual items it may contain.
Members will also receive special discount coupons in each package.
How does that sound? I hope you will sign up for the Treasures club soon, so I'll have an idea how many to make when the time comes, and know how much to order.
I'm going to put a "button" on the site with this information and more so you can learn about the program and the process! http://www.eveningstardesigns.citymax.com/page/page/4176959.htm
I've had another idea that I'm wondering if you'd be interested in. I've been playing with the idea in my mind, but would love some input! I know that many of you make things for shows, craft shows, etc. and sell them. Would any of you be interested in a consignment page on the website? Please email me if you think you'd be interested or know someone who would. I'm trying to work out the details, and would appreciate any suggestions. Please send me an email or call: CSCibik@hotmail.com or 919-342-3183
Remember, Evening Star Designs is a webstore, but you may call your orders in, mail them in, email, or simply use the site's shopping cart. Our postage rates are extremely reasonable and everything goes out by first class or priority mail, which means you should usually receive it within three days (plus or minus!) after I get it in the mail.
I will accept money orders, VISA or MC, checks and PayPal.
For all of you who have trouble accessing a computer, did you realize that you could print many of the pages? You could create a printed catalog for yourself that way, though you must realize that it will constantly be changing!
I've recently added a few things to the gallery, and hope you'll come and take a look! http://www.eveningstardesigns.citymax.com/gallery.html
I would also like very much to build up my mailing list! I'd like to offer a $5.00 coupon off your next purchase of $45.00 or more to everyone who signs up for the list! (Don't worry, all of you already on it will receive one as well!) To Sign up, go to the News and Information page: http://www.eveningstardesigns.citymax.com/page/page/2989243.htm There is a box on the right side where you can add your email address to the list. - But you're not done yet! You must add listserver@eveningstardesigns.citymax.com as a contact to your email files. Shortly after you sign up, you'll receive an email asking you to confirm that you'd like to be on the list from this address. After you receive it and confirm your intentions, you'll be added to the list.
I look forward to everyone's theme suggestions, to your ideas about a consignment page, and news that you'd like to sign up for the new Treasures Club!
Hope to hear from you soon! Carolyn S. Cibik Evening Star Designs http://eveningstardesigns.citymax.com CSCibik@hotmail.com CSCibik@eveningstardesigns.citymax.com 919-342-3183
