Now for a bit of history...
Decorating with Decoupage was originally established as a craft shop in the Blue Mountains area of Sydney, Australia. Many customers remember this shop for the beautiful decoupaged floor which was unfortunately destroyed in a fire. Luckily with a new owner (Penny), and a new place to store all the papers, the wide range of papers was still available to everyone through the web site which is still active today.
My story starts in early 2002, when a friend and I started making art/craft items to sell at the local market. We created a variety of things, but mostly made coasters using any paper that we could find. In April I discovered DecorDeocupage whilst browsing on the internet - I thought I was in paper heaven! We started purchasing all our papers through Penny until late 2002 when she decided it was time to move on and try new things.
After hearing this news, I was immediately thinking of how I could continue on the business. I felt Decorating with Decoupage was perfect for me as it combined my love for crafts and computers (and I also wanted access to all those papers!). I knew there were many customers out there who enjoyed the website as much as me, so it would have been a shame to see it disappear.
From January 2003 the papers were moved to the 'Sutherland Shire' (South Sydney), where I continue to run the business from home.
**May 2011 update: Due to a busy family life I have sadly decided that it is time to pass DecorDecoupage to the next person... If you have a passion for paper crafts and would like to run your own business (this one takes care of itself!) - please send your interest to me at info@decordecoupage.com.au
I hope you enjoy browsing through the website, if you have any suggestions or general enquiries and conversation, I would love to hear from you!
Thanks for visiting,
Danielle
