At the risk of repeating myself, I need to say thank you again.  I could easily write pages of thanks to all of you who have left me such lovely comments or sent me supportive emails.  I could say some very special thank you’s to the ladies of the Graphicus Guild online group who have kept me sane this week with their good cheer, good humour and links to very funny YouTube videos.  I could, and will, say thank you to my dearest hubby who just gets more special to me each day (and I’m not talking ‘goes to school on the short bus’ special, but the ‘together we’re strong’ kind of special).

But no, I have two very special thank you messages to add to the list.  Firstly to a very, very sweet customer, Anne who surprised us with a gorgeous bouquet of flowers which were delivered on Saturday.  Anne, I don’t know if you got my email, but I can honestly say I was really touched and we both really appreciated something bright and cheerful turning up out of the blue like that.

And secondly, I have to say thank you to an anonymous mysterious benefactor for another surprise package – this time a festive hamper from Interflora.  Again, the infusion of joy from an unexpected gift was such a treat, but the message card had no name on it, so I don’t know who to thank!  Please let me know if it was you as the Beeblekittens have a message for you.

These two gifts have brought light into a difficult week and taught me first hand how it feels to be on the receiving end of a random act of kindness and that is why I want to say a big, genuine, heartfelt thank you.

Please note all info relating to the closing down sale is now over on the Graphicus Blog.

I cannot begin to say how grateful I am for all of your amazing comments.  Truly, I don’t know what to say.  In the build up to this sad event, I never once thought that it would generate so many messages of empathy, compassion and love and I really genuinely thank you all from the bottom of my heart.  I feel your support on all sides and it’s a truly incredible feeling.

I will be back tomorrow with more details of our closing down sale.  Sad, I know, but please don’t feel bad about taking advantage of it.  It’s stash for heaven’s sake, you’d be mad to miss out!
