I do love a good list. The more the merrier.
Lists of lists? Bring it on!
Literally loads of lists... hell yeah!!!
I have a frankly embarrassing undisclosed number of pristine notebooks and project planners in which to write lists but I always end up just grabbing a bit of scrap paper and scribbling them down, only to subsequently lose the scrappy paper and having to start again.
There's also the small matter of adding completed tasks to lists after the fact purely for the satisfaction of putting a BIG TICK next to them. Seriously though... doesn't everyone do that?
So yes, I do like lists. I've been making rather a lot of them recently in relation to various projects... my new toy shop book nook kit, our granddaughter's bedroom makeover, workroom re-organisation (yes... AGAIN! *sigh* ) etc etc etc.
Also, despite being nominally retired, I have been making minis.... primarily for La Mignonette but also with a view to offering some of my little toy dolls and miniatures for sale in the spring. I did have in mind to release a list in November but that was derailed by a series of unfortunate events so my mini-making was relegated to the back burner. However, with spring now a not too distant goal, I'm minded to dust off my box of 'work in progress' and see where I'd got too.
With a Spring Sale in mind I logged into MailChimp yesterday. I use it to send newsletters and up till now it had been free to send emails to up to 500 subscribers, but as of next month the limit for the free service will be reduced to 250. As I only send at most two newsletters a year there's no point in my upgrading to the paid service. So I spent a while laboriously going through the contacts list, deleting obviously suspicious or invalid email addresses but I was still nowhere near getting down to 250.
So, here's the thing. I will be sending out a newsletter later this week. If you're on my current mailing list, and receive it, and want to continue to receive newsletters, follow the instructions and I'll keep you on the list. If I don't hear back I'll assume you no longer wish to be contacted and will remove you accordingly. From my stats I know that less than half of newsletter recipients don't open the email so I'm confident that the mailing list will prune itself.
If you're not already on the list, not to worry. I will post sale information here and on my Sandra Morris Dolls Facebook page.
If you have any questions, please contact me using the contact form thingy. Please note that my towerhousedolls email is not longer in use. You can also message me on FB, either using Messenger or WhatsApp.
