On The Way to Recovery

Hi everyone,

Everything went fine with operation and I'm well on the way to recovery, and finally out of pain it's a good feeling. While I'm away I will be making up card kits for the shop each week. If you require any kits I suggest you order them as the first lot have sold out. There will be a new kit every Tuesday and time has been set aside from 10am-12pm each tuesday if you want to do them in the shop, or you may take them home to do as well, your choice.

Most of the kits will be christmas themed for the next 8 weeks. After christmas there will be a variety of themes available each week.

Happy creating
