Happy News!

Hello friends
I've been waiting to type some happy news and here it is...
my eldest son Mitchell is now officially employed by 
Hope and Chances Creativity.
I am thrilled he has chosen to become crafty!
As you know if you follow my blog, Mitchell has helped out a lot with the shop/studio 
in the past and more recently while I was staying at the hospital with Elliott.
He is going to be such a great help with the new website (yes...nearly there)
and plans for future classes and more.  He also makes a really good cup of tea! 
This does also mean the shop will be open regular hours each week,
more details to follow.
I really feel this is a new chapter in our lives and I look forward to you joining us.
Take care friends.

    Great news Christine. I'm sure Mitchell will be a great support and you will know you have someone you can trust to look after the 'shop' whilst you are off doing crafty things...like visiting Arizona. Well done Mitchell. Can't wait to see the new Website and I'm sure you will be a big asset to Hope & Chances. Finally, hugs & best wishes to Elliott, and a little hug for Bella. Hope that ear infection is cleared up and as I think one of your followers mentioned, Christine, she needs the hairs in her ears plucked when she goes to the groomers. They trap dirt and stuff which leads to infection. Take care all of you. Gemma xx

    I am so pleased for you and Mitchell, he will be able to take a lot of the pressure off your shoulders, and make things a lot easier for all of you. I wonder if Elliott will follow in the business, that way you could sit and give orders and craft all day :) Now wouldn't that be lovely
