    Hi J, I really like your website!

    5. ‘Stationary Icon Set’ is wrongly spelled. It should be stationery as mentioned below that title.

    Other than that, you’ve done a great job of your site. Very professional.

    Just a little help. Please don’t be offended by the reminder.

    Regards,
    Tracey.
