UK PO strike update. The PO has decided to strike 2 -4 days a week instead of all the time as we first thought so I should now have no problem getting all my swaps out by the send by date.Please note i will not take part in any swap that i will not follow through.so please if you dont receive email me as it may be lost /delayed in post

hiya , im jude im 43 and married with 2 beautiful daughters live in the UK in East anglia area,after moving from London. i have been avid crafter for nearly 20yrs ,i started basically decorating altering pots then some one who i gave the pot too said you should do cards to go with it!Bingo then it all began,cardmaking,scrapbooking,ATC's ,paper bag album making ,altered art the list goes on. The it went from a hobby to a buisness doing the craft fairs across the uk ,craft website with excellent ratings and returning customers /clients.Then in 2006 my world fell apart after being diagnosed with ME,Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and this year due to illness have had to close my online buisness which is very sad and miss terribly but i just hadnt got the energy as not having too many good days just got too much we were so busy with orders just couldnt cope with that and my ME.So it wasnt easy deceision i can tell you but one that had to be made. So now im left with boxes of brand new crafty stock to try and get rid of and someone told me about this site so maybe during swaps i can get rid of all these new crafty items and get some items back for my own enjoyment and hobby.As now it has gone back to a hobby.although i have 3blogs 1 is a challenge blog http://creativeinspirationschallenge.blogspot.com/ the second my blog for doing challenges and ramblings. My 3rd is a blog about my life after being diagnosed with ME/chronic fatigue as soo little people are aware of the effects it has on your life and the guilt you go through through no fault of your own so please take alook and maybe you will find out more about this illness thats becoming very popular more and more being diagnosed with it. so i look forward to meeting you ,sharing swapping and taking part in various crafty swaps even may get to host some too. have nice day thanks for taking time to read this hugs judex
