Hello, Anybody There?

Right, well where do I begin? I suppose I should welcome you all, thank you for stopping by, please stay, pretty please.

Paper Trinkets is my hobby turned part time business, I create handcrafted social stationary, keepsakes and gifts. I am trying to fit it in around my three children and so far so good. I adore papercrafting and could easily spend all my time and money on feeding my habit! How happy am I that I can finally make bit of money doing something I love so.
Today I had a bit of a de-clutter of my work space, boy oh boy! Who would have known (well I should have really) that I had such a vast collection of cardstock, ribbon and patterned paper? There were things lurking in drawers that I had forgotten all about but hey, all the more for me to experiment and play with at some later date. Its all come at a good time anyway as I am planning on overhauling my stationary collection. I get bored so easily which means the longevity of any piece I create is always under threat!

A couple of weeks ago I had the honour of creating three bespoke flower girl gift bundles, what fun I had. Not only were they uber girly but it brought me out of my comfort zone which is always a good thing in my book.

So what do you think? Each bundle contained a thank you card, a "My Day as a Flower Girl" Scrapbook and mini gift box that will hold something small but spectacular no doubt.

Here is what the lovely bride to be had to say which frankly brought a tear to my eye.

I came to paper trinkets with an idea and what i recieved today was amazing! paper trinkets took my idea, worked their magic and now my girls will recieve a gift set that is fantastic! my idea for a little scrap book, card and jewellery gift box was made 120% better - the matching set looks like it is very expensive and so beautifully made! i cannot comprehend the love and attention that must have been applied making these bits for me! this is what makes small buisnesses like this so much better! the care and thought! thank you so much paper trinkets"!
