There is no creative post today; I am having new windows fitted at home and unfortunately there has been a problem with the one for my craft room, so my office is currently out of action and has been inaccessible for longer than I anticipated. These things happen and things are being sorted out today so hopefully I will have my CAS Colours and Sketches card for you tomorrow.

Instead, I thought I'd share some promotional news with you that I have yet to post here on the blog - my recent vacation caught me on the hop with September announcements and there is lots going on! Those of you that have been around for a while will remember Wednesday Weekly Deals: the way they work is a range of products will be discounted each week for one week only; new weekly deals will be announced every Wednesday. We won't know what they are in advance: you will simply need to go to my online DBWS store to find out what they are. Wednesday Weekly Deals are running for the month of September - so there are two weeks of deals remaining. I've included links to this week's deals below and will share next week's deals when they are announced in a separate post tomorrow. 

As always, if you want to take advantage of any of the deals on offer, you can support my business by placing your order online by clicking here or using the link to my store on the right hand side of my blog page where it says 'Shop Online' or with me in person.
