Life is bizarre!

Life is strange - for the first time I've got a mega sucessful business and live in a georgeous huge house and have a lovely family. The downside is illness and death all around. My hubby has had an op for skin cancer and is recovering (and will be ok) and our friend died (suddenly aged 44) which was a big shock. So I'm embracing everything positive right now! Onwards and upwards! Christmas designs currently being worked on right now its ALL GOOD!

Cheers Man Geordie Card - THUMBS UP!

Really nice to revisit some of the early designs and revise them to bring them more in line with the rest of the range. Life has been really tough lately with illness and a lovely friend passing away suddenly, makes me happy to be able to do something sunny and happy again - so pleased to have such a lovely family and amazing biz partner and of course fab customers! Onwards and upwards with a BIG THUMBS UP! xx

Shy Bairns Get Nowt New Card Design

New Shy Bairns Get Nowt card design amended design to match mug as requested by our customers! Back from my holidays now to a storm of Geordie Love - blimey the sales are off the scale - I'm honestly not complaining. 

Shy Bairns Get Nowt New Geordie Mug and other newness

New stuff on our website including our fantabulous new Shy Bairns Get Nowt Mug which means Shy children get nothing. Meaning if you don’t go for it you’ll end up with nothing Its kind of a Geordie Mantra and something that helped when me and Jane were setting up the Geordie Biz.  It looks better in real life (a bit like myself hehe!)

Fab Feature www.cardandgiftblog.blogspot.com

(Click on the image to see the blog)  Totally fantastic feature today of my GeordieMugs work in the lovely card and gift blogspot.  Very happy - seems we are getting Geordie love everywhere these days! Nice to be appreciated!

New Design

Just revised a design as the old design wasn't selling too well - it was dark in colour. Love this one fits in well with the rest of the range too.  Ramped up production now.  Printing is now taking place in Geordieland so  been getting that all sorted this week.  Didn't get through to the finals of the Entrepeneurs challenge but did get a full page feature in a newspaper from it which has led to a new customer.  We are currently selling around 4500 cards per month now which is mad isn't it?  More still to follow.....

More Geordie card designs

Another busy week - really great one for design - firstly me and Jane got our first massive order through for Waterstones the book shops so are supplying them in the NE now!  YIPPEE  More new designs are being requested all the time so heres the latest ones (Cleva and Gannin) can't believe we've now got 34 cards in the range (not including the seasonal cards) - only started with four designs originally!  Had to squeeze in a couple of stationery designs for my lovely agent Rory for Surtex next weekend in New  York.  Phew! Totally love it - closing date for IWCYC (Entrepeneurs challenge) is today so fingers xd we'll be shortlisted! ITS ALL GOOD!
