Welcome to the new home of Christina’s Crafts, it has been a bit of journey to get us here, my website was hacked whilst changing servers and google blocked our site! As a consequence it was necessary to change servers yet again, along with employing a new designer who has help me to rebuild the entire site from the ground up and of course with all good things they can take a little longer to create, there are more enhancements to come but I thought it best to get the site up as quickly as I could.
Oops did we make a mistake?
So here you have it, if you should happen to find errors or mistakes please do let us know by sending me an email here. We have tried to check all the pages and links but can attest to only being human, therefore I am sure we may have missed something.
On a positive note if you have some feed back you would like to offer or some suggestions that would make your shopping experience better please drop me a line on our feed back page here
A note of thanks
None of this would have been possible without the tireless help & support I have received from my sister Tracey and soon to be brother in law Andrew.
Andrew is an absolute wiz with coding and has burnt the midnight oil converting pages and pictures in excel that some how makes it all work and displaying properly, this I don’t understand and find Andrew’s amazing talent almost magical. So thank you Andrew for your many many hours and nights of coding.
I would also like to thank Nick and his team at Dubé Creative who have been patient and creative in pasting my ideas together.
So what’s new?
You will notice some subtle changes across the website one of them being the speed of getting around which is now greatly increased.
Overall the look and feel of Christina’s Crafts will be the same and you can be assured that you our customers are our most important asset, you will receive the same high quality of service and support that we have always offered our customers.
You will probably notice that our stock level is a little lighter, in our effort to get the site back up as quickly as possible some items have not been loaded yet, please be assured your favourite rooms and products will be back as soon as we can load them.
What’s next?
I will be continuing to update and upgrade the website as we move forward in fact I am looking into programmes as we speak to better display our Galleriá
I have had a great number of challenges with my website site since I first set it up in ???? I have been with 4 different development companies, changed hosting platforms over 7 times, rebuilt the website on 4 different occasions, I have been mislead, taken advantage of, tricked and robbed.
Many of my closest friends have told me that I am stupid for continuing what I am most obviously (in their opinions) NOT supposed to do! There have also been many great personal losses which are too personal to mention here, but what I would like to say is that throughout this most difficult (but sometimes joyful and fulfilling) time, the whisper in my spirit encourages me to continue and to rebuild and to move forward.
I have always had a great passion for what I do and no matter how difficult my time has been on this journey when you have a flame of passion (and a stubborn determination) short of death; there is not much that can stop you.
It is the small flicker of passion that is left, and the encouraging unseen support of God that allows me to continue on; to serve you and to bring to you the best altered art supplies that I can find from around the world.
I hope you enjoy the new Christina’s Crafts as much as I have enjoyed bringing it to you.
Blessings Christina
