It has been way to long since I have posted a blog post. It seems I have come and gone and sometimes I post a lot and sometimes I just post an advert for Stampin' Up! Well no more ladies!
I have officially lost my demonstratorship for Stampin' Up! a month ago. I am not sure how I feel about it yet. I have made incredible life changes and I don't think my heart was in it anymore. Now, having said that "Is my heart still in Stampin' Up?" the answer is Yes and No.
There are a lot of designs I love from Stampin' Up! and I will continue to purchase through my upline but I felt that I was constricted to just using their product. I felt the target market for Stampin' Up! was not me. It was very trend following and I like to think I am more fast paced and more of a leader.
I am now excited to reach into different brands that are trend setting. I will continue to use and post Stampin' Up! projects as I still will use their product but you may see a Simon Says Stamp product here and there.
Now, moving away from the crafting side of my blog, I have changed the name of my blog to be simply Ashley Amanda instead of AshleyAmandaDesigns.com. I have made some changes to my life. I have moved to the city of Toronto, in a tiny condo with my boyfriend. I have been legally separated since June 2013 and will probably go through a divorce in the next few months. My lifestyle has changed. Definitely. The new blog- Ashley Amanda will reflect that. Whether it be Baking, Cooking, Decorating/Organizing, Nails, or blogs referring to City Living in Toronto- I will blog and share.
I hope you stay with me in following my new journey. I hope to inspire you all to design something whether it be an idea of a recipe or how to organize a closet, then create it- do it, and share it! Post a photo here, pin it to your Pinterest board or share it on my Facebook page.
I am excited for Ashley Amanda to be a regular occurrence in my life. To share often.
I am planning on blogging 3 times a week (Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays!). So be sure to subscribe to my posts so they go straight to your email!
Thank you for all your support,
