patty schaffer is the owner of p.s. it's in the details.

if you have not been to her shop...go take a look!

i tell ya, it's a real pleasure seeing all she has created!

"As my shop's name mentions - I *love* details! Those tiny, awesome, little things that make you take a second look. That make you 'ooooo' and 'ahhhh'. I design and create items for scrapbooking, cardmaking, gift giving and home decor. I love to play with fabric and buttons, watercolors and oil pastels, sequins and beads. I try to keep the focus on 'paper' items in my store and incorporate those other fun things as little details. I am inspired by anything pretty and fun and colorful. I love eye candy! You may rest assured that anything offered for sale in my shop will be handmade, with love, by me. I fuss over every detail - from each individual item to its packaging. I want everything to be just right and for you to be more than pleased when you open your package. I want you to 'oooooo and ahhhh'!"
