No More Wee WhiMSy love.

So sad. Very soon you can say "bye-bye" to all things Wee WhiMSy love. The Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act (CPSIA) is a law that will go into effect on February 10th, 2009 mandating testing for lead and phthalates in any and every item intended for a child 12 and under. The testing is SUUUUPER expensive & quite ridiculous for little ole crafters like me. Wanna know more? Read my best Etsy friend's blog. She put it very well: LittleDaisyChains.blogspot.com
Though this law doesn't affect me that much, I still stand alongside my crafty counterparts who create, more specifically, for the smaller humans in this world. This sucks.

UPDATE: The testing has been postponed for a year! Wheeee! Read about it HERE.
