October 5th Newsletter - Good and bad news.

Dear all,

There is good news and bad news, so please read all the way through!

The new website is launched! There is so much on there that it would take me forever to list it so I shall let you explore it yourself!

A brief outline: Over 300 tutorials, Articles, Top 10 Picks, Printables (coming soon), Interviews, A-Z directory, Projects, ebay special, featured, news, fun and games, coffee break, blogs and much much more!

We have an exclusive interview with Louise from Angelique Miniatures and more on the way. There is also one with myself...find out what makes me tick...

We have a directory bursting at the seams. Some of our latest entries are

Here's the bad news. I'm afraid that I'm going to be closing my shop on there. Not the miniature book shop (that's run with amazon) but my shop that sells my own work. I know I haven't been open again for very long but I have to put my family first as I'm sure you all understand.

This is because my baby girl is having her operation on Wednesday 7th October. Her care after means we have to get up in the night again and give her complete one to one care. I shall still be doing this website because quite oddly its my way of winding down at the end of a day! (I've still got another 60 articles waiting!) I just don't think I shall be able to make miniatures.

The "doors" will be closing on Saturday 10th October at 9am. All orders will be process over the following week in order that they were made. I shall email everyone as the orders are sent out.

It's not all bad news though! I shall be reopening the shop as soon as Charlottes care gets easier! It will more than likely be in the new year because Charlotte is going to be in her cast for at least 3 months.

As time will be short it will be hard to reply to all the emails enquiring after her health so there are several ways you can keep up.
