Building work at the Crafty oINK Pen has slowed up communication. I have received a few private messages wondering about Classes, bookings, Newsletters and such like and I wanted to put you all in the picture.
Some of you will be aware of the second phase of building work that has been going on at home here for us and the upheaval that we have had to juggle. We had kept it relatively quite in that we temporarily moved out of the house and into a local B&B to enable the builders the space to get on. We didn’t want that to be widely known, until we were back in. The building work we had undertaken last year did not resolve the cracking, nor was it complete, thanks to a rather greedy and unpleasant builder. Thankfully we have had a fabulous team of builders working hard for us these past 5 weeks and from living in a B&B, to living out of two bedrooms, we are finally getting close to moving our furniture back in and actually living in our house properly again.
Throughout the building work at The Crafty oINK Pen

Throughout this period, we have had two family members in hospital, a break in to my craft room and half term week … all of which have really paid their toll on us and our energy levels, so please do forgive my delayed replies to you, my lack of crafty creations and my general lack of communication.
Half term week is now over and I am sat here working my way down a rather long To Do List and trying to get things back on track … so I thank you for your patience and understanding throughout this time and I very much look forward to getting back to the things that I love doing and setting up a few new things to help us all.
Sale–a-Bration is in full swing and Stampin’ Up! have just launched a second phase of FREE Products available for you to choose with every £45 or £90 spend … so be sure to take a look and take advantage of this fabulous time of the year. My current VIP code is available to the right of this post and is always pinned both there and at the top of my Facebook page.
I’m looking forward to getting back into the swing of everything that’s normal again. Thanks for sticking with me, more Newsletters will be following as we start to resettle.
