LOL, I've had a few people ask me, why my domain is 'mybargainstuff.com' when the business is FerretLady Designs. Well, there is a handful of reasons behind that -- but I will also mention upfront that I have registered "FerretLadyDesigns.com" and plan on migrating the site over onto it's own domain in the near future.
I've owned 'MyBargainStuff.com' for some years now. It's been through several incarnations - originally, it was a simple storefront, selling a variety of goods. It served as a community site for a couponers/bargain-hunters group that I was involved in for some time.... and most recently, it had been an ill-fated attempt at an auction/marketplace site for crafters. Then it was more or less dormant for a while..... I kept renewing it, even when it was 'dead space', thinking I'd eventually do *something* with it.
I guess you could say there was a small element of uncertainty & possibly even insecurity, when I put my very first set-for-sale online. (That was the Valentine Conversation Hearts) Would anyone buy them? Were they "good enough", that anyone would want them at all, even if I gave away freebies?? At the time, I had no idea where things would end up going, so I was "chicken, and decided to go ahead and use the existing domain name that I already had, that was sitting there on my server doing nothing - rather than setting up a new domain.
Well, it's been a whirlwind of a 6 weeks now, and I thank each & every one of you from the bottom of my heart for making FerretLady Designs take off as quickly as it has! It's totally amazing to me!
So, that's why it's "mybargainstuff.com" right now. It will become FerretLadyDesigns.com sometime in the near future, but no worries of losing track of me - whenever I do get the new domain moved over onto my server & get everything set up, I'll set 'mybargainstuff.com' to automatically re-direct to the new name, so you'll still get to the site just fine!
It will probably be at least a couple more weeks before I get into doing all that. I really want to concentrate on getting more designs available on the site first, and get more freebie series set up & going. I do apologize for being so slow on getting new designs up for you! But hopefully I can get a lot more online for you much quicker now!
Thanks again for visiting, you all are the greatest!!!

Thank you so much for your site. I have a question though - there was an issue and was unable to download a couple of the free fonts one day last week. I was unable to get the star "V", and the Lacy Egg "H" - , and would like to complete the set. Could you help me with these. I know that you are making great progress wit the side, and hope to see more come into it. I learned of you around Valentines day when you were so generous with the Valentine Hearts to the Cute patrons. Wishing you continued success, and I love this font. I may be contacted at bhawkins@cfl.rr.com Regards
