THE GREAT MYSTERY OF THE LAST CALENDAR PAGE 2021 🔍

A couple of weeks ago, Penguin and I thought we'd have a tidy up at Shiny Shrimp HQ, all was going well, we made more of a mess than tidied...until...

I took some Christmas cards, notepads and few other bits and pieces out of a box to find a random December calendar page at the bottom of said box! Eek...What's that doing there?

Now, I take great pleasure in matching up the pages for the penguin desk calendar each year. They arrive from the printers as separate pages, so it's like a very predictable card game matching them all up in the correct order. Sometimes I'm left over with a couple of pages at the end and that means I have missed those pages somewhere in one of the calendars and it's a big thing every year. Anyway, it usually works out perfectly and I have no pages left over. The 2021 Calendar was no different.

What has alarmed me with this random calendar page, is that I found it at the end of May and the calendars sold out in February!! Oops! I could only imagine that it was a page missing from the last calendar that was sold, so I emailed that customer who was very kind in checking for me...no, it didn't belong to them!

So the mystery continues... I don't fancy emailing every single customer one by one, to see if they have a page missing. I take pride in great customer service but that might be a step too far!

So if you bought one of the Penguin Desk Calendars, and you find that you indeed have a December page missing, please do get in touch! It is currently waiting patiently to be reunited with it's rightful owner and I'll pop in a couple of freebie stickers as a Sorry and a Thank you. Let's hope we get to the bottom of where this calendar page belongs! 🔍

HELLO JUNE ☀️ May went far too quickly for my

HELLO JUNE ☀️

May went far too quickly for my liking but I'm glad June has brought with it some sunnier and warmer weather.

Here are a few highlights from May if you missed them:
- The "keep going," "one day at a time," and "keep it simple" notepads launched in my shop and there are still plenty left if you want to grab one.
- NINE new greeting card designs also launched in my shop, including a variety of colourful birthday card designs.
- A best seller was the "Do all the cool stuff" notepad and pencil set.
- You helped plant 9 trees in association with Ecologi. The minimum I can plant is 25 trees at a time, so as soon as the number reaches 25, May's trees will be planted. I plant a tree for every £10 spent across my shops.

Some plans for June include:
- A hair cut, a holiday and my first dose of the vaccine 🥳
- New sticker sheets will be coming very soon to the shop
- I will start working on that certain date at the end of December 🎅🤫
- I was inspired to start a(nother) new venture last week, so I will be ironing out how that will work throughout June
- Also trying not to get too overhwelmed by it all, I've definitely planned a lot in!

I hope your month is looking good and I look forward to sharing what I get up to.
