Directions
shops on Etsy.com! As if we didn’t have enough to do keeping Doullina fully stocked, we decided to open up another shop! We managed to score boxes and boxes of some very cool embellishments including ribbon, trim, buttons, rosettes, fabric, etc. We can’t possibly use it all so we thought we’d make it available to the crafting masses. Check out our new shop:
Ginoulla’s Bits & Baubles

Wishing you all a Happy and Creative Holiday Season! We both feel so blessed to be surrounded by our wonderful families and friends during this very special time of year. We’ve definitely made tons of scrapbook worthy memories this year, and we are so very thankful for the success of our new venture! What fun it’s been to help so many others create special pieces to showcase their own treasured memories…it’s truly been a pleasure! We are looking forward to a little bit of downtime with our families this coming week, and rest assured, we will be back in full force in several days with some new designs, an ad in the Times Union starting 12/26 (yes, we will be scrapbooking it!), and some more exciting information about our Winter Wonderland Crop and our 4 week Scrapbooking Workshop at Blue Dog Arts for Middle-High Schoolers! That business about us possibly resting in January….phooey, we have to many ideas and this Doullina Show is ready to be syndicated!! For now, we’ll leave you with one more Happy Holidays, and a tiny sneak peek at some new Holiday designs:
On today’s show, the lovely Rachael Ray featured a segment on online shopping and she gave our beloved Etsy.com a shout out! We couldn’t be happier over the possibility of extra exposure…wait, take that back, we would be beyond ecstatic if she gave Doullina Designs a shout out. THAT, would be the icing on top of our delicious paper cake! Maybe she would even consider catering our upcoming 12 Hour Winter Wonderland Crop! Psst Rachael… next time you’re in the Capital District…drop us a line 
Did that make sense? Every once in awhile, usually b/t the hours of 1-4 am when a deadline is nearing and we need a bit of a break from the paper products, we turn to our trusty computers and google our name. A recent “Doullina” search had us pretty excited as we found our name and products on several sites out in the great big blogosphere! What a compliment it is to be featured on someone else’s site…we certainly enjoying blogging about ourselves and our fun products, but for someone else to pick up the tab…that’s just awesome!
Here’s a little collection of links that feature some of our items (you’ll have to scroll down a bit to find our goodies):
First we got our hands on some custom Doullina shirts…we thought we were Big Time! Then we added our official looking card spinner to the craft show display…we really thought we were Big Time! Now (pause for effect), we are beside ourselves with glee to announce the latest….
Oh yes folks, we’ve done it now…our very own gift certificates! They are available in denominations of $10, $15, $20, and $50 and may be purchased in our Doullina Boutique They may be used for any custom creation available in either of our online shops, as well as for crops, classes or custom work. Upon purchase, your gift certificate will be creatively packaged (in designer papers of course!) and shipped immediately to you or your intended recipient. Simply make a note in the comments section on your order form and we’ll be happy to ship your gift.
We still have spaces available for our upcoming Scrapbook Workshop at Blue Dog Arts in Delmar on 12/7. If you’re interested in attending our fun night out, which includes all of the elements you’ll need to complete an adorable Christmas CD Tin Accordion Album, drop us a line (info@doullina.com) and we’ll be happy to add you to our roster! Just imagine, you’ll have an opportunity to create a gift for someone special on your holiday list and you won’t have to fight the crowds at the mall…perfection!
**We have had to unfortunately cancel our Mom & Me Workshop (12/15) and will be sure to post the rescheduled date as soon as possible! Sorry for an inconvenience!
Well scurry on over and pay Rebecca at Embellish Home a visit! Her adorable shop is filled with unique treasures that are sure to help you transform your spaces into something incredibly special. We are incredibly pleased to be included in her amazing and eclectic blend of home embellishments, and we hope you’ll stop by to say hi to our new friend.
