I read your blog almost every day but hardly post as can't when on my tablet but as on my PC today I needed to!<br /><br />Good luck with your shows. I do miss them since you moved to Hochanda as unable to record. I do try to catch the odd one on catch up when I can but rarely possible. Will be a dream come true if ever gets shown on Virgin Media.

I can't help it she said but I have to tell you when you walked in I thought you were my friend from Canada you look identically like her. Oh I thought yea sure but then she showed me a photograph and it was like looking at myself. Then it turned out this lady was also big into crafts and my age too. Would have been really bizarre if she had my name too but she didn't which was a bit of a relief really. So they always say that somewhere in the world you have a double well I have seen mine!! Hope your alphabets and rhymes go down a storm which I am sure they will, much love JayneAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07597524524858733186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5012372152948410381.post-46018579825753591852017-05-06T10:57:36.506+01:002017-05-06T10:57:36.506+01:00Brought tears to my eyes!

I clearly recall buying a couple of your corner stamps many years ago from you at Ally Pally. You had a tiny little stand yet your products were such a new and innovative idea. Who knew way back there where it would lead!? I still have those stamps BTW! One day they may sell on eBay for a small fortune :) xxDihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06153667791623954306noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5012372152948410381.post-12069118026776256072017-05-05T22:44:37.876+01:002017-05-05T22:44:37.876+01:00What an amazing coincidence, but don't you fin...What an amazing coincidence, but don't you find life occasionally throws up these little coincidences out of the blue. Glad you stood your ground with that lady. I'm loving these alphabet groovis but I'm thinking I may get more use from the stamps. Shall watch all the design teams samples before I make up my mind.<br />Thank you for my gold club membership renewal goodies which arrived today, I love both the stamp and the Groovi and will get lots of use from both.<br />It has been horribly windy and cold down here today, more like November than May. Hope it gets back to Spring again soon. xxAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04445320462038520797noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5012372152948410381.post-10375791856097694772017-05-05T21:19:04.150+01:002017-05-05T21:19:04.150+01:00that is one awesome story. and to have the same na...that is one awesome story. and to have the same name... i'm still chuckling to myself, hugs xxTheresahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09228573719518500700noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5012372152948410381.post-4722872591357269302017-05-05T20:30:26.341+01:002017-05-05T20:30:26.341+01:00What a lovely story I had a friend who has passed ...What a lovely story I had a friend who has passed away who was coloured and was always making jokes about herself was intown and Noela came up to me tapped me on shoulder said hoy younot speak to blacks and turned round said were hadn't noticed you was different to me both laughed she was a great friend.
