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

    In 2024, I’d saved $50,000 in Bitcoin over three years, my ticket to financial freedom. One evening, scrolling Facebook, I saw an ad: Double Your Crypto in 30 Days. It looked legit, polished graphics, testimonials, even a verified-looking page for Quantum Trade Hub. Desperate to grow my savings, I clicked, messaged the admin, and got a warm reply from Sarah, who guided me to a sleek trading platform. I transferred $40,000 in BTC to start. Days passed. Profits showed 10%, 20%. Sarah urged me to invest more. I sent another $10,000 in ETH. Then, silence. The platform glitched, my account vanished, and Sarah blocked me. The Facebook page was gone. I’d been scammed. Panic set in. I filed police reports, contacted my wallet provider, nothing. My savings, my future, evaporated.Sleepless nights followed. I scoured Reddit for hope and found a thread praising Alpha Spy Nest, a crypto recovery firm. Skeptical but desperate, I visited their site, alphaspynest.org. Their team, ex-cybersecurity pros, claimed a 90% success rate. I emailed them, detailing the scam, wallet addresses, and chat logs. Within hours, a recovery specialist replied. We’ve seen this, they said. Pig-butchering scam. We’ll trace it. Alpha Spy Nest worked fast. Using blockchain forensics, they tracked my funds through mixers to a wallet cluster in Eastern Asia. They identified the scammers’ exchange accounts and alerted authorities. Meanwhile, their legal team pressured the platform’s hosting provider. Three weeks in, they sent proof, my BTC was in a seized wallet. They negotiated with the exchange holding the funds, proving my ownership with transaction IDs. I got the email, Funds recovered but not all, My $38,600 BTC, plus $8,000 ETH, was back in my wallet. Alpha Spy Nest charged 15% fair, for saving my life’s work. Today, I’m cautious but grateful. Alpha Spy Nest turned my nightmare into a lesson. If you’re scammed, don’t give up contact Alpha Spy Nest. Email: Alphaspynest@mail.com. They’re the real deal.

    This is my honest experience. There are a lot of untrue recommendations but because i haven’t worked with all of them i can’t tell you not to trust all of them. I won’t be the one to alter someone’s livelihood. If you have lost money to scam anytime at all, there is a solution. Send a mail to this recovery team ( zattechrecovery @ GM AIL CO M ) to get the peace of mind you deserve.

    HIRE META TECH RECOVERY PRO TO RECOVER YOUR LOST OR STOLEN BITCOIN/ETH/USDT/NFT AND CRYPTOCURRENCY

    The exceptional team at META Tech Recovery Pro, whom I now consider family, has my utmost gratitude. It would be remiss of me not to acknowledge the outstanding service they provided. I have personally experienced the unfortunate reality that even innocent investors can be defrauded. I made an ill-advised investment, resulting in the loss of USDC and USDT. However, while perusing an online article, I came across a review of Taylor’s experience, which highlighted META Tech Recovery Pro’s success in helping her and her family recover funds lost to a scam. Upon contacting this cybersecurity firm, they successfully aided in the retrieval of my stolen digital USDC assets. I am genuinely impressed by their remarkable service and professionalism. I had not anticipated the possibility of recovering my funds until I presented my situation and all relevant documentation to META Tech Recovery Pro. I was astonished that they recovered my funds within 28 hours. My USDT assets were, without question, successfully recovered from the fraudulent platform. I would like to extend my sincere appreciation to you, Sir. I wholeheartedly endorse META Tech Recovery Pro for any requirements related to bitcoin recovery, digital funds recovery, hacking, and cybersecurity.

    How DragonWebRec Helped Me recover My Bitcoin Investment Access

    Here’s what happened to me. A while back, I encountered difficulties accessing my Bitcoin investment due to some account issues, and it left me quite concerned about my holdings. After exploring various options online, I came across DragonWebRecovery and decided to reach out.
    Their team was courteous and professional, detailing how they assist with recovering access to Bitcoin and other digital investments through secure blockchain methods. They required no initial payment, only a standard fee deducted after the successful restoration.
    The process was handled efficiently over about three weeks, with clear email communications throughout. In the end, they restored full access to my Bitcoin, allowing me to manage my investment securely once more. They also provided helpful advice on preventing future access problems.
    From my experience, DragonWebRecovery offers reliable support for recovering Scam Bitcoin investments. I’d recommend them if you’re facing similar challenges. info @ dragonwebrec .com)
