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 I first lost $156,000 to a cryptocurrency investment scam, it felt like my entire world had collapsed. Years of hard work, savings, and dreams disappeared in what seemed like the blink of an eye I barely slept for weeks constantly replaying every decision in my mind and blaming myself for trusting people who turned out to be professional fraudsters The emotional toll was even greater than the financial loss I felt embarrassed, isolated and convinced I would never recover Just when I had almost given up I came across Malice Cyber Recovery At first I was skeptical because I had already encountered people claiming they could recover my funds, only to ask for more money upfront. I expected another disappointment From the beginning however the team treated me with patience and professionalism They took the time to explain the fictional recovery process, answered my endless questions and kept me informed at every stage For the first time since the scam I felt like someone was actually listening and trying to help The waiting period was emotionally exhausting, but their regular updates gave me hope when I needed it most Eventually I received the news I had been praying for my lost funds had been successfully recovered I couldn’t believe it I cried tears of relief knowing I finally had a second chance to rebuild my life Today I look back on that painful chapter with gratitude for the lessons I learned While the experience changed me forever it also reminded me never to stop believing that difficult situations can have brighter endings

    I responded to an advertisement involving a Dutch model, and shortly afterward I was contacted by Mark Grams, who claimed to be a professional investment adviser. After six weeks of building trust with me, he convinced me to convert both my investment and my father’s portfolio into crypto.
    In total, I transferred €1.6 million worth of crypto to what I believed was a legitimate investment platform. When I later asked to access my funds, I was told that my account had been blocked and that I needed to transfer more money to unlock it. That was when I realized I had been scammed.

    After filing a police report with little progress, I hired a legal team, who then contacted Morphohack Cyber Service via email (MORPHOHACK@CYBERSERVICES.COM).
    They used blockchain analysis to trace the stolen crypto, and the trail led to several crypto exchanges, including HTX. However, Morphohack was able to recover all the crypto that had been funnelled through their network. Recovering my funds also helped uncover a broader network of alleged crypto-related crimes. After I lost my funds, I felt like the ground beneath me was about to explode, Morphohack brought me back to life with their professional help.
    I highly recommend Morphohack and their incredibly helpful team.
