    Couple of quick observations. Your title is much too long. Keep it under about 67 charcters. The SEs, Google in particular, generally won't pick up more than that. Also, concentrate on keywords. "Stampola" is unlikely to be searched for.

    Beyond that, the title is buried below a ton of CSS. I would move it to the top. Also, you might want to place the CSS on a separate stylesheet so the bots won't have to wade through it to get at the meat.

    CSS is cascading sheet style. In it’s simplest form it is the pages beyond your home page. The site looks good but I would think that if you added a few words to your key words you might have better luck. Craft, craft supplies, craft design, craft instruction that type of thing. Then ensure that those words and the other key words you have are listed on your home page. It will bring you higher in the searches.

    I liked your site. I've got a few comments, but they're kinda nitpicky.

    a. I didn't care for the red/pink/grey combo. Maybe it's just the shade of red I object to. It just didn't feel quite "right". (I told you...nitpicky!!!)

    b. I think you need to give more prominence to the "lessons" section. I read through the one tutorial that you had and think that you should develop this section more. It's a great way to capitalize on keywords and sell products to people hopping in on searches.

    c. What do pet pictures have to do with anything? And why are two links to animal rescue groups at the top of your links page? Are you donating profits to a shelter, or do you work with a shelter? At any rate, this whole section seemed really random in an otherwise well structured shop. Maybe you could do a rescue commemorative stamp or something to tie the two areas together and to draw attention to a topic that's obviously pretty important to you, but still unrelated to stamping in general.

    Otherwise, well done!
