Hello one and all and its been a long time since I have been here and updated this Blog but in the all new world of CarLisa - Because Memories Matter I shall be updating this much much more often. I need to get the hang of all this technology which what ever appearance may give out I am really not so great with lol. Never mind I will learn, I am sure that I can :) I truly hope that this finds you all having as gentle a time in this life as you can do.

Soo new things.. WOW so much to say and no idea where I should begin really. I have updated and modified www.carlisacrafts.com and everything on there now is fresh and new and in stock. Everything on there that you see can be personalised especially to suit your needs including you babies names and dates which is wonderful really as it allows you the freedom with unusual names to have something with their name on. I remember as a child never finding anything with Caron on and always finding it annoying that my sister could so I hope to be able to alleviate that as a problem. :)
CarLisaCrafts can add ANY name you like :)

One of the new additions to the web site has been the Memorial Bracelets which have been going down really well :) I have now extended the range of beads and charms available on these. I have also got number cubes too which means I can add your angels date of birth too if you wish. The choice of colours are never ending and there have been some wonderful choices made. If you have something in mind, just ask and I will do my best to help :)

More things will follow soon too as a whole new range of exciting items find its way to the web site. I can't wait to see what you think.
Will update again very soon. Thanks for reading C x

Another item *NEW* to the web site are these beautiful frames, made from Papier Mache are perfect for that special Angel photo to go in. You can personalise these in any colour you like with any wording you like including the above, I have also done Angel Grand daughter, Mummy's Beautiful Boy.. It really is VERY VERY flexible :) The Angel are available in Pink or Blue with a variety of hair colours, bald or with a little hat on. I love them and hope that you all will too xx

Another busy day or two in the 'office' plenty of exciting new things to be getting on with.
I have made a Boo Bear with Angel Wings Memory box for the 1st time which if i do say so myself looks really wonderful. This years new style memory boxes will see a lot of Boo Bear I think as he certainly seems to be rather popular and I must admit he is a firm favourite of mine too :) This particular box is a customer order which i really hope Angel Dylan's Mummy likes.

2010 A New Year......



Well 2010 is here and CarLisaCrafts begins by starting its very own Blog..

It's snowing outside with a nip in the air but I have much work to do already.

Brand New items all coming very soon include some lovely cards as seen in the picture above. These will be available in a multitude of colours and styles and all with any dress and hair colour you would like. I can also add names of your choice too if you like.

The inside can be left blank for you own wording or you could choose from and add verses written by myself. Below are 2 examples of 1st and 2nds Birthdays, the wording can be changed to Angelversary if that would be more appropriate.

You’re a special little angel,
It’s your birthday today,
you’re loved far more than any words
can ever really say.
You’re playing with your birthday toys,
On clouds way up above,
they’ve come from mummy and daddy
with lots and lots of love.
We’re sending lots of birthday wishes
Now this day has come,
It’s that very very special day
that you are turning one.

You’re a special little angel
you’re turning two today,
you’re loved far more than any words
can ever really say.
On puffy white clouds you’ll
plays with your friends
With the wonderful presents
mummy and daddy have sent.
We’re sending you lots of love
and special wishes too
on this the special day that
you are turning two .

Verses up to aged 5 will be available in the coming weeks for use inside both these cards and on the Grave Cards which have already been well received.

Also launched NEW for 2010 are the grave card supports. Currently 1 version of these is available in the form of a butterfly. They are 2 stakes which go into the ground with a butterfly on the top which clips over the card holding it in place. They have been varnished as well so that they retain their colour.

Thats all for now.. Thank you for reading. I will update you all again very soon xx
