It is finally that time of the year: Christmas in July! I always love shopping on etsy during this time, and for the first time ever my shop is also participating in the event. From now until July 21st simply use the code "CIJ10" at checkout to receive 10% off your order from my shop.
Now, just be careful because if you are anything like me you will probably go on an all out shopping spree, creationsbycolettehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18225280352575627437noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6713364625187013005.post-19631706164981415202013-07-10T09:02:00.002-07:002013-07-10T09:04:45.844-07:00New Products being posted!
