JRobertWhittle.com is live again!
Posted by: | CommentsYes, with Tara’s help yesterday, we managed to get the Store and website completed so we’re now officially back in business!! Thank goodness … that was so tricky and a huge rush before beginning Christmas shows this weekend. I realize that unless you are a member of our Fan Club or receive our emails which we are now sending out (Vancouver Island went out on Wednesday), you may not even realize we were having major issues. We hope you’ ll visit more often now!
The rest of the emails (Canada, USA, England, Australia, Germany etc) will go out next week.
This website still has some links to change to the new site but if you are having a problem here, go to jrobertwhittle.com and take a look around.
Don’t forget to support your local crafters and artisans … have some fun and take in a craft show or two in your own area this weekend 
You’re supporting local business and possibly even your friends. You could be pleasantly surprised with all the different wares crafters have these day, and the price is always less than store-bought. Make sure to check quitting times as hours at many shows have shortened due to less traffic in the evenings. Thanks!
