27 years, I have closed Smudges and www.smudges.com. I will be putting my efforts full time into 
my wholesale ornament business, Ornament Central, which I started with my husband, Jim, in 2004. As many of my Smudges customers know, Jim died very unexpectedly in September 2007. It has become too difficult to run both businesses myself. Ornament Central, like Smudges, is a family business. It has become everything Jim and I had hoped it would be. I design ornaments (based on my Smudges ornaments, but manufactured in a resin material overseas), which we sell to Christmas stores, gift shops, mall kiosks, and websites. I have sold all of my Smudges ornaments to Christmas Spirit Shop, in Bar Harbor, Maine. See link below to visit their website. There are hundreds of locations across the country that sell Ornament Central ornaments- most of them personalize the ornaments as well. I have provided links below to make it easy for you to continue to purchase my designs.LINKS
