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

    When $13900 left my account for what I believed was a legitimate crypto reward activation I thought I was making a clever move. Instead it became one of the most stressful weeks of my life until GRAYWARE TECH SERVICE stepped in.The pitch came through a polished email campaign promoting a limited time loyalty points conversion offer. The idea was that my accumulated retail loyalty points could be converted into cryptocurrency at a high bonus rate something that seemed too good to ignore. The messaging was convincing with an official looking website professional graphics and a representative who explained the process clearly.I paid the required activation amount and received a confirmation stating my cryptocurrency would appear within 24 hours. The next day nothing arrived. My calls went unanswered and my emails bounced. That was when I realized I had been scammed and I knew I needed urgent help from experts like GRAYWARE TECH SERVICE. I contacted GRAYWARE TECH SERVICE immediately and shared everything I had payment receipts blockchain transaction IDs screenshots of the emails and the fraudulent website link. GRAYWARE TECH SERVICE analyzed the data confirmed the scam and assured me they could act fast.GRAYWARE TECH SERVICE traced my payment across the blockchain and identified the wallet where the scammers had deposited my funds. They coordinated with payment processors and digital asset platforms to freeze the account before the thieves could move the money.In less than a week GRAYWARE TECH SERVICE delivered news I never thought I would hear. They had recovered $12900 of my stolen $13900. Only a small amount had been withdrawn before the freeze. Thanks to GRAYWARE TECH SERVICE I had more than 90 percent of my funds returned in record time.This ordeal taught me that no matter how professional an offer looks it can still be an elaborate scam. It also proved the importance of acting quickly and involving professionals like GRAYWARE TECH SERVICE who know exactly how to navigate the complex world of online fraud.Today I share my story so others know that recovery is possible. GRAYWARE TECH SERVICE turned what could have been a complete financial disaster into a near full recovery.

    Even if people have different opinions about hackers, I have dealt with a few of them, so I think Wizard James Recovery Company is great. Email used for communication is (wizardjamesrecovery@mail.com). I invested all of my assets in bitcoin because I wanted to accumulate a sizable portfolio that would weather economic downturns and financial crises when I retired. Unfortunately, things didn’t work out as planned. In mid-October, when Bitcoin was worth $72,233, I made my first investment using BINARY OTP and was able to obtain about 4 bitcoins. However, attempts to withdraw some of my assets proved fruitless as the price of Bitcoin skyrocketed to $82,000. Suspicions were raised by the company’s persistence on charging a charge to activate the withdrawal capability. Initially interacting with a variety of hackers, none were genuine; their intentions were to drain the remaining funds rather than provide support. But after coming across a cryptocurrency forum about Wizard James Recovery Company on my third try, things took a turn. After taking over the work of retrieving my money, Wizard James Recovery Company accomplished it in 96 hours. Wizard James Recovery Company is a great resource for anyone who may have been a victim of a recent cryptocurrency fraud. According to my own experience, their outstanding services are evident, but engaging with them directly is the only way to truly appreciate them.

    It started innocently enough. I was introduced to a cryptocurrency investment opportunity through someone I met in a social media trading group. The person seemed legitimate, knowledgeable, and patient. They even showed screenshots of successful trades, withdrawals, and glowing testimonials from other “investors.” I did some basic research, and everything appeared above board. The platform looked professional. The returns, though high, weren’t entirely unreasonable. So, I started with a small amount. I saw immediate “profits” on the dashboard. Encouraged, I invested more. And more. Eventually, over the course of two months, I had put in everything I had my savings, some borrowed funds, even emergency money I had set aside for my parents’ healthcare. In total: $119,000. Then, one day, I tried to withdraw. Nothing. The support stopped responding. The site kept saying there were “technical issues.” I started Googling the company again and noticed warnings I had missed. Forums, Reddit threads, complaints all about how people had been scammed the same way. My stomach dropped. I had been conned. At first, I was too ashamed to tell anyone. I couldn’t eat. I couldn’t sleep. I couldn’t even look at myself in the mirror. I felt like a failure. I was constantly on edge, paranoid, angry, and deeply depressed. My financial future was shattered, and I had no idea how to even begin recovering. Then I stumbled upon a post about Malice Cyber Recovery in a tech security forum. I was skeptical honestly, I thought it might be another scam. But I was desperate. I read every review I could find. Their team had helped others in similar situations recovering stolen crypto, tracing wallets, even working with law enforcement in some cases. I reached out, not expecting much. But from the very first interaction, something felt different. They didn’t overpromise. They didn’t guarantee miracles. They just listened to everything I had to say. No judgment. No rush. They laid out a clear process, explained how crypto recovery works, and told me exactly what they would need. I felt, for the first time in months, a glimmer of hope. The process was not easy it took several weeks of digging, tracing blockchain transactions, identifying the movement of funds, and preparing reports. But the Malice Cyber Recovery team kept me updated at every step. They were meticulous, professional, and persistent. They worked with a network of ethical hackers and legal consultants to track the movement of my funds across multiple wallets and mixers. And then, one day, I got the email: $119,000 successfully recovered. I broke down crying. To see that balance hit my account again… it felt like waking up from a nightmare. I still can’t believe it sometimes. I genuinely thought the money was gone forever. Malice Cyber Recovery didn’t just help me recover stolen money they gave me back my life. They gave me back my peace of mind, my future, and my self worth. If you’re reading this and you’ve been scammed I know how humiliating and devastating it feels. But don’t give up. Don’t let the scammers win. Reach out to the right people. For me, that was Malice Cyber Recovery
