Crafts U Loves Shops 1st Birthday!

I can't believe a year has passed and we have had our Shop's 1st Birthday! With Helen, Caz & Jackie doing Demo's we had a packed shop. Everyone got a goodie bag and a free stamp designed by us. Paula (one of the owners) inherited a crafting friends craft stash when she sadly passed away with skull cancer. Paula decided to raise money for St Catherines Hospice by hosting an Auction at the shop with some new & used stamps, inks & Quickutz Alphabets. We manged to raise over £300 for the Charity which we will continue to support in future events.
Thanks for everyones support over the past years and we look forward to seeing again in the future.
