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

    Protecting Students from Online Financial Fraud // Passcode Cyber Recovery

    PASSCODE CYBER RECOVERY
    WhatsApp: +1(647)399-4074
    My name is Karren Walker and as a final year university student determined to graduate without placing financial strain on my parents the prospect of a scholarship felt like a lifeline. One evening I received an email about a blockchain innovation grant, a scholarship program seemingly designed for aspiring tech students like me. The timing felt almost providential. The website was immaculate sleek design glowing testimonials and endorsements from well known tech influencers. A video featured a panel of industry leaders discussing the future of crypto and education. Every detail screamed legitimacy. They asked for a security deposit of $38000 in cryptocurrency. Strange yes but the application process was so detailed, the messaging so sophisticated and the social proof so convincing that I dismissed my doubts. I thought this could be my big break. I gathered funds through savings, a small loan and contributions from close friends and transferred the money. By morning it was all gone. I was shattered. The financial loss was staggering but the emotional toll was even worse humiliation self blame disbelief. I couldn’t even tell my parents. Then a classmate overheard my distress and recommended Passcode Cyber Recovery. I had already been burned but I reached out. To my surprise Passcode Cyber Recovery responded immediately with empathy and zero pressure. Their team acted with clarity and urgency. They traced the crypto wallet I had sent funds to and uncovered a sophisticated scam network operating across scholarship forums and Reddit, a larger pattern they had been investigating. Within two weeks they recovered $28500. It wasn’t everything but it was enough to stay in school repay part of my loan and reclaim my sense of direction. I honestly don’t know what I would’ve done without Passcode Cyber Recovery. Their transparency, speed and compassion made all the difference. I share this to warn others online scams are getting alarmingly advanced. They target ambition and vulnerability. If you fall victim, don’t suffer in silence. Reach out, verify everything and remember with experts like Passcode Cyber Recovery is possible.

    become a thing of concern how unregulated crypto investment websites and forex broker dubiously take heavy funds off investors. Few weeks back I lost about $75,000 to a known forex broker through several charges while I tried withdrawing my capital investment on the platform. But the good news, few days later I read many articles on the crypto and digital assets recovery in which Dave the best recovery expert keeps popping up so I reached out to him and he recovered my funds completely with no penny left out within 3 days I contacted him. He’s definitely the best and genuine recovery expert to reach out to if your crypto gets missing, Incomplete crypto transactions, catfish s cams, advance fee s cams etc. write him at (hackrontech @gmail com) for an outclass help

    The boost of online trading platforms has, unfortunately, increased fraudulent activities, a situation I encountered. Seeking passive income during the COVID-19 pandemic, I invested in binary options and forex trading, which led to a loss of 15.70137 BTC due to sophisticated scams. This experience caused significant financial and emotional distress. My legal counsel recommended DuneNectar-WebExpert, a specialized ethical hacking and recovery firm. DuneNectar-WebExpert successfully recovered my lost funds, restoring my financial stability. Recognizing that others may have suffered similar losses, I recommend contacting DuneNectar WebExpert at ( Support @ DuneNectarWebExpert .Com ) if you have been a victim of online fraud and seek fund recovery.

    I want to use this medium to share my incredible manifesting with Dr. Kachi, who truly changed my life. For a long time, I struggled with homelessness after losing my job as a nurse. Life felt like an endless battle, and I spent many years trying to win the lottery, hoping for a better future. But despite my efforts, I had no success and was growing increasingly frustrated. That was until I came across an amazing testimony from a woman named Natasha, who shared how Dr. Kachi helped her win the National EuroMillions jackpot. I had always loved playing EuroMillions, but winning seemed impossible for me. However, after seeing Natasha’s story, I decided to reach out to Dr. Kachi prepared a special spell to help me with guaranteed lucky numbers. Within 24 hours, he provided me with the winning numbers and instructed me to play. To my amazement, I won £184.656 million in the EuroMillions! Thanks to Dr. Kachi, my life has been transformed, and my financial situation has changed for the better. I will never forget this joyful moment, as it has been the best thing to ever happen to me. If you’re struggling and seeking a way out, never give up. Dr. Kachi can help you, just as he helped me.

    Are you aware that Cryptocurrency can be Recovered?

    You certainly can. Greetings to all. My name is Amice, and someone I met online on an unverified investment proposal defrauded me of nearly $123,000. Before I saw numerous testimonials with respect to WIZARD JAMES RECOVERY, I began looking for legal assistance to get my money back. I gave them the details I needed to get in touch with them, and to my utter amazement, they assisted me in getting my money back within a few hours. Right now, I feel so joyful and relieved. I think there are people out there who have fallen for those fraudulent online investment scams and lost a lot of money. They can be contacted at wizardjamesrecovery@usa.com, if you require comparable assistance.
