Well... here we are at the end of November... My last entry to my blog was February ... how ridiculous is that?  I actually think that February was perhaps the last quiet moment I had .. since then it has been a complete whirlwind of events ...The facebook page has taken off to extreme levels and I've made some amazing customers that I would like to call friends ... We have a chat in the day time and a laugh in the evening and it certainly keeps me going during busy and stressful times.

Since September I have been working really hard ..... June was crazy for "Apple for the Teacher" keyrings and October went bonkers over Poppy pins .... after selling so many poppies ....  I was really proud to donate £100 towards the Peterborough British Legion Poppy Appeal... It was lovely to visit them at the Paston and Gunthorpe Community Center and see all the hard work that went on for such a lovely cause... Next year we will start early and I intend to up the donation to 10% for each poppy sold.... 

After the poppy appeal came the Christmas rush or should I say "The Slinky Rush" .... after the Slinky Santa and Slinky Snowman ... a group of Slinky Characters popped up ... I've not had a count up yet but I will.... and oh BOY will there be a lot!!!!  The Rudolf is my fave ... but by far the Slinky Santa is the most popular....  How are we going to top that next year?

A big welcome last month to Rhian ... my Glam Glassistant that comes and helps on Saturdays and one evening during the week....  On her first week I was so nervous about her cutting herself on glass and had a HUGE PILE of plasters on hand ... I was later to discover that she was in fact allergic to plasters and did finally cut herself on ... wait for it ... the tape gun!!!! ........Although I do not understand her taste in music (who are these bands... am I old?), she has settled in really well and no trips to casualty have been needed (YET!).

So in a nutshell.... a fantastic year for us ... I can only thank my lovely customers from the website and my facebook page for being such stars.... for the chatting, for the banter, for the orders and for most of all ... for putting up with my lack of admin skills due to lack of time spent on the computer and too much time making lovely glass.... As we grow, I hope this will change but for now ... I thank you for your shouts, nudges and pokes....

Next year ... I want to be bigger and better but still be approachable, affordable and always here for a natter and a pinot at the end of a hard night .... big hugs from me..... xxxxx

    A few months ago, I was desperately looking for a job and came across what looked like the perfect opportunity online. The ‘company’ seemed reputable, their website looked real, and the recruiter who contacted me was very convincing. They told me I had been ‘selected’ for a remote position, but before I could start, I had to pay certain processing fees and provide some documents. At first, it seemed harmless — I paid a small amount, thinking it was part of onboarding. Then came more requests: training fees, software access, and even a supposed security deposit. I kept sending money because I didn’t want to lose the chance. But when I asked about starting work, they stopped replying completely. The phone numbers went dead, the website disappeared, and my money was gone. I was devastated. It wasn’t just about losing money; it was the hope of finally securing a job that got ripped away. I felt angry at myself for falling for it, and embarrassed to even talk about it. One evening, while searching online for help, I found GRAYWARE TECH SERVICE. Something about the way they explained their services made me feel I could trust them. They weren’t pushy and didn’t promise me miracles; instead, they laid out exactly what steps they would take to recover my funds and how long it could realistically take. I handed over all the details I had — bank transfers, email conversations, and transaction receipts. They were quick to respond and surprisingly patient with me, considering how many questions I asked. Throughout the process, they kept me updated, which gave me a lot of comfort after feeling so helpless. Weeks later, I got the news I never expected — they had tracked and recovered the money I lost to that fake job offer. When I saw the funds back in my account, I literally cried tears of relief. It felt like a Nightmare was finally over. GRAYWARE TECH SERVICE gave me back more than just money; they gave me peace of mind and a fresh start. I don’t know where I’d be without their help. If you’ve been tricked by scammers in any way, don’t keep silent or give up hope. These people know what they’re doing, and they fight hard for people like us. I’ll always be Grateful for the second chance they gave me. You can reach them on web at ( https://graywaretechservice.com/ )    also on Mail: (contact@graywaretechservice.com

    Before you place any investment with a broker, ensure that you do your proper research so you don’t end up sending scammers your hard-earned money. I suffered from this after I sent a scammer I perceived to be a legitimate broker, but it later turned out he was a scammer. But I am happy I got introduced to recoveryhacker101, because indeed I wouldn’t have gotten my funds if not for their expert services in tracing stolen crypto funds. I eventually got my money back and, trust me, I am not investing anymore. I can remember the sudden pain I got after I realized the broker was a scammer. That’s why I have taken my time to post this comment here to anyone in need of a crypto recovery expert can simply reach me at (recoveryhacker101@gmailcom). I vouch for their services 100%.

    I just wanted to let everyone know about my experience. I attempted to invest my money in Bitcoin, but internet crooks depleted and destroyed my finances. I fell prey to a bitcoin investment fraud, which requires you to keep all of the money in your wallet. The concept seemed fantastic, but regrettably, I ended up in the wrong hands. You may understand how much was at stake since for a couple of six months, I invested $6,000 every two weeks from my savings. As anticipated, the crooks entirely cut off all communication with me, and I never received any return on my investment. I chatted with a coworker who told me about Wizard James Recovery, an entity that recovers Bitcoin that has been stolen. After I informed them of what had happened, they recovered 95% of my Bitcoin to my wallet in a matter of a few days. I was simultaneously surprised and delighted. If you have had the similar experience, please get in touch with them at wizardjamesrecovery@usa.com or over WhatsApp at + 4.4.7.4.1.8.3.6.7.2.0.4.

    I was at my lowest, scammed out of $15,000 my life savings by a WhatsApp group promising sky-high returns on a crypto trading platform. It started innocently: a friendly stranger added me to a group chat, filled with investors sharing screenshots of massive profits. The group admin, Mark, convinced me to join a platform called TradeRiser, claiming it used AI to guarantee returns. I poured in my savings, watched fake profits climb, but when I tried to withdraw, the platform locked me out. Mark ghosted me. I was devastated, ashamed, and broke. Desperate, I stumbled across Alpha Spy Nest, a cybersecurity firm specializing in scam recovery, on a forum. Skeptical but out of options, I contacted them. Their team, led by a sharp investigator, took my case seriously. They asked for every detail: WhatsApp chats, transaction records, and platform screenshots. They explained how these scams operate fake platforms, spoofed numbers, and offshore accounts. Alpha Spy Nest’s approach was methodical. They traced the blockchain transactions from my crypto transfers, identifying wallets linked to a network in Eastern Europe. Using OSINT (open-source intelligence), they uncovered the scammers’ digital footprints, including a fake LinkedIn profile for Mark. Alpha’s team collaborated with law enforcement and a crypto exchange to freeze one of the scammers’ wallets, which still held a chunk of my funds. They also found that TradeRiser was a cloned site hosted on a shady server. Within weeks, they recovered $9,500 not everything, but a miracle to me. They guided me to secure my accounts and avoid future scams. Alpha Spy Nest didn’t just recover my money, they restored my hope. I’m forever grateful for their expertise and persistence. Contact them via: whatsapp: +15132924878, website: www.alphaspynest.org, email: alphaspynest@mail.com
