New Machine!!!

Yep, ordered a new machine today!!! So excited! Hopefully it will come fast so I can get all my orders filled! I'll keep you posted as to when I'm up and running again, hopefully by next week I'll be back in business!

Then it will be time to start thinking about another Make & Take, don't ya think? ;)

Technical Difficulties and a Broken Machine

Yep, not the best summer for Stick It...
We've moved twice this summer and somewhere in all the moving a very vital piece to my machine was lost. It's a small removable piece on the end of the machine which you'd think would be easy to replace. Well, apparently it's not. The company I bought my machine from said it's "not available at this time". What?!? They say it's a pretty standard part and I should be able to get it anywhere, but I'm not having any luck! I'm hoping to get it fixed soon though, but if I can't find the part then hopefully I'll be getting a new machine! If you have orders you're waiting for, I'm so sorry and I'll do my best to get them to you as soon as I can! Thanks for being patient though, I have the best customers ever! :)

On to the next issue: my website. After the many hours I spent adding all the info to my website, I'm sad to say I had to shut it down. It will be up for about another week, but after that you won't be able to view it. Quick explanation- as I was reviewing the site activity, I found that there were several referral sites that were not up to my standards (ahem adult sites). Not sure why or how an ad/link for my site got on these sites but it made me sick to my stomach just thinking about it, especially since my address and email are available to anyone who views my website!
So, needless to say, I'll be building my own website and spending many hours adding all the important info again...Once my new site is up and running I will let you all know!

Here's something special, just for a little inspiration...

This is what I gave the men in my life (hubby, dad, dad-in-law) for Father's Day. Well, a picture of it at least ;) And once my machine is fixed they'll get the real thing, or something close to this:

Hope everyone has had a great summer!
Keep checking back for updates on when we'll be back in business!
