Forever tree design

To all my wonderful customers, followers, and friends, thank you for your support and custom over the last couple of years but it is with a very heavy heart that I write this message.
After almost 3 years of blood, sweat and tears the time has come to call time on Forever Tree Design.
This has not been a decision I have taken lightly and it certainly hasn’t been easy. This business has been my baby and I’ve truly put my all into it but despite all my best efforts it is just not profitable. It makes me so sad to have to make this decision but over the past year I have really poured everything I have into it, including considerable financial investment but after the bad luck I had with the builder last year and the market becoming so saturated with other people doing the same thing, it just hasn’t worked and I am running at a massive loss.
It has all started to take its toll and have a really negative impact on my family and my mental health and whilst this is the last thing I want to do, I know for me right now it is the right thing to do.
If anyone is interested in purchasing any of my stock please get in touch and I would even be willing to consider selling the whole business to the right person which would include stock, equipment, page, web domain and e-commerce hosting (the webpage is still in early stages of development), email address, Canva account with designs and design space designs. If anyone is interested please just private message me.
I have a few orders here that are still to be collected (scouts orders) and I will do my best to complete any outstanding orders (any that have been paid for will be refunded if I can’t get them done).
I’m really sorry to everyone that has been regular customers, I have tried my hardest to make this work for you all but I can’t keep ploughing more and more money and time into a business which is not making me any money. I’m so sorry.
Thank you again for your support, it really has meant the world to me.
This is Forever Tree Design signing off.
Goodbye xoxo

One of my lovely regular customers asked for a custom hoodie to gift to a lovely student teacher going off for her first teaching role in September! Really pleased with how this turned out.

Paul Smith is Cameron’s sprint coach. He gives up his time several days a week, every week of the year to coach, support and encourage young athletes. When he is not coaching the next generation of athletics stars, he has raised millions of pounds for charity… give him a Google, he has done amazing things! He has also been kind enough to donate 2 wonderful calendars of his photography for our PATCH summer raffle, for which we are very grateful!

Now Paul needs our help!
His current wheelchair is no longer fit for purpose and he has been advised by his medical team he can not continue to coach or complete his fundraising challenges if he does not get a new purpose built chair without seriously harming his spine.
If you have a few spare pennies to help Paul get his new chair it would be very much appreciated and mean so much. If you can’t donate at the moment, if you could share to help him reach his target it would be very much appreciated.
Thanks for taking the time to read.

We are raising money for Paul Smith OBE to purchase a new purpose built wheelchair. Paul is a … Tanya Stevens needs your support for Purpose built wheelchair

When Carousel Nursery School Ltd asked if I could donate a raffle prize, I was only too happy to offer them this lovely hoodie! (I actually want one for myself now…it’s one of my favs 😂).
Good luck with your summer fete and in your raffle today. I hope you manage to raise lots of money.
If anyone is at a loose end in the Portsmouth area, why not pop along and say hi to them at their Discovery Nursery School site on Derby Road Northend.

Over the last few weeks I have been playing around with my new printer, tweaking the settings to get it right. Really pleased with how this hand drawn design has turned out… and it just pops against the black. ❤️
