A New Year

Happy New! We hope your year has started off as great as Distinctive Moments’ year. We are excited about the great things in store this year. So thanks in advance for your continued support in 2008!


A New Look

We have decided to do something a little different this year. Instead of emailing our newsletter to those of you on our mailing list, we will be posting the following topics on Distinctive Moments’ Blog World:

· What's New?
· Articles
· Other Blogs
· Tips & Techniques
· What You're Saying...
· Contest & Challenges
· Ant the winner is…
· Our Etsy Shop
· Upcoming Events

By making this change we hope to provide you with more information, more often. Feel free to visit Distinctive Moments’ Blog World at your leisure to catch-up on what we are up to. If you would like to receive an email with promotions and upcoming events PRIOR to blog postings (i.e Sneak Peak), be sure to join our email list.

We hope you enjoy this new format. Any questions or suggestions can be emailed to info@distinctivemoments.com. Your comments may end up in the What You're Saying...section.


The Same Motto

Distinctive Moments motto is providing bridal and scrapbook needs. Even though you see our motto everywhere, we wanted to make sure you knew we are here to make sure your bridal and scrapbook needs are met. That even means directing you elsewhere if we can’t provide a specific need. If you don’t see a particular item or service offered, please contact us anyway. We’ll try our best to provide some options for you.
