A Brand new Store

Good morning everyone!  Before I start my Friday morning posts I thought I would bring you all up to date with the new look store!  

It has been a long process for me as I know little about designing other than what I know I saved by doing it myself lol!  I've tried to keep it fresh and clean, and hopefully easier to navigate.  Now selecting different sizes of Sprinkles can all be done from each colours page rather than hopping between the different sizes and colours. Now items can be selected and added to your cart without leaving the page, so no more backwards and forwards.  There is a 'Guest' checkout option and more new things that I simply can't remember :) With the new shopping cart came a new and more reliable server which caused the site to be down for a few days. All is working now though!

I have added most of the stock items with only a few more to go, so bare with me as I get these last little bits and pieces done early next week.  This weekend is a very special time for us as a family as Nathan - our youngest - makes his 1st Holy Communion and Confirmation.  It has been longer in the planning than the store lol!

So I do hope you like the 'new look'.  Come for a visit and look around and let me know what you think!

Thank you all for your support!
Hugs for now,
Andrea

Shop Down For Cleaning!

Good morning all!  The AnnaBelle Store will continue to be down this morning for just a few more hours as we complete the transfer of data and make sure that everything is running smoothly!  I'll be back as soon as I can with the re-opening!
