i’m back!!!

it’s been quite some time since i’ve uploaded any new creations on this blogsite– 10 months, to be exact! work has been super duper hectic and weekends are usually spent hibernating or just lazing around, which translates into close to zero new creations for Gilty Pleasures. :(

after many requests from many different people, i’ve finally gotten off my lazy bum and started creating again. the inspiration is back with a vengeance & boy did it feel good!

i’m now working on some Christmas orders and if you’re interested in placing Christmas gift orders with Gilty Pleasures, you’ve still got a bit of time! drop me a mail at giltypleasures@gmail.com & we can work something out. :)

keep checking back here for updates!
