Advent Calendar Day 3 - A little bit of fun and a Free Gift Too - But also some sad news.

Morning Everyone, Day 3's Advent Calendar offer has been added, there's only 35 again. Today the item is only 9.99 including postage and there's the chance of a free gift too, so read on. 2020 hasn't been a great year for anyone really(see below), has it, it's the season of goodwill and we also have the promise of some light at the end of the tunnel. I have devised a really exciting plan. Every day up until the 24th there will be a new offer with an incredibly low price. Do keep following the Craftascope Advent Calendar event to the end, even if your not buying any or all of the offers, Im not telling you what it is, Or it will spoil the surprise, but there's something very, very BIG at the end.

I have hidden a photo of a gift in one of the listings, if you find the gift all you have to do is: Add where you found it to the note on your order form. Thats it! I will add the gift to your order, please don't share where you found the gift.

At the beginning of November DPD lost a huge shipment, which was my stock being sent back to me here in Bulgaria from the UK. Covid19 meant it was impossible to visit or arrange delivery from there, so the only alternative was for me to send orders directly from Bulgaria. I had contacted them straight away and written to the CEO of DPD, I got this reply from them yesterday.

Thanks for getting back to me Nick.

As a company, DPD do not offer compensation for consequential loss and so I'm afraid this isn't something I'd be able to move forward with.

Warm regards,

I have never asked for any help and I never ever would. Im not going to start now but as you know it has been an incredibly bad year for everyone. I doubt there's a family anywhere across the globe that hasn't been affected by this dreadful virus and the personal and economical effects from it. I have really struggled through this year, I have tried absolutely everything to carry on, so far I have managed. I've not made it public, but I have told a few friends, all of them have asked how they can help. Honestly the best way to help me through, would be to get yourself some Craftascope Products, with your continued support I ram confident I can get through this. But without I am so worried that I won't be able to carry on.

I've got my next 3 brand new collections ready and a marvelous Christmas Collection that is so different to what has been done before. They would have been launched last July but it's just not been possible to have them produced yet, with the uncertainty. Having Craftascope, has been an absolute Joy and has kept my mind of my Health problems, as some of you will know are quite serious. It's really kept me going,. On top of that I have had the pleasure of getting to know many of you a lot better. Most importantly, many of you have become great friends, thats a gift money just can't buy.

I had to put my Design Team on hold yesterday and reading their comments made me cry. I only managed to answer 2 of them as I was getting quite upset, this is the main reason I have not done a video and decided to put it in my blog post. The smallest purchase from you would make all the difference to me at the moment it really would. If you do visit the shop please use the link: CRAFTASCOPE ETSY SHOP otherwise Etsy only show a small selection of what's available. I have been adding great offers and free gifts on my Etsy store, but sadly these are just not being seen, due to a lack of comments. I really don't like to beg and I hope you don't see this as begging, I am just so desperate not to let Craftascope go to the Wall. 

If this is going to be my last month running Craftascope, I would love you to at least get involved in the Craftascope December Giveaway, also on Facebook. Take care all and Happy Crafting.xx
