After 11 years, I've made the difficult decision to place Sweet Ava's Paper on hiatus.
If you've been around for a while, you know this isn't the first time I've talked about closing the shop. Over the past few years, I've tried just about everything I could think of to keep Sweet Ava's Paper going. I've announced closures, switched to printables, brought back physical sticker sheets, introduced new products, redesigned the shop, and continued creating new collections.
The reality is that despite all of those efforts, the shop is no longer receiving the sales needed to support the amount of time, work, and expenses that go into running it. Between designing, printing, cutting, packaging, maintaining equipment, troubleshooting production issues, and trying to find time for marketing, I simply can't give Sweet Ava's Paper the attention it deserves.
As many of you know, I also run Sew Some Magic, my handmade accessories business. Over time, that shop has grown significantly and requires more and more of my attention. After a lot of thought, I've decided it's time to focus my efforts there rather than continuing to split my time between both businesses. http://www.SewSomeMagic.com
If you currently have an open order, please don't worry. All open orders will be completed and shipped between June 29 and July 3.
This is not necessarily goodbye forever. Sweet Ava's Paper is being placed on hiatus, and while I don't have any plans to reopen at this time, I haven't completely closed the door on returning someday.
Thank you for supporting Sweet Ava's Paper over the past 11 years. This shop has been a huge part of my life, and I'm incredibly grateful for every order, every kind message, every social media share, and every customer who helped make this little business possible.
With love and gratitude,
AmyLynn
