Making headlines

The House of Sugar is based in ELGIN, which today is making headline news, for the same reason it is always on the news, Elgin is flooded, roads and rail links are closed, schools shut down, business are knee deep in water and nothing is operating as it should.

We are not directly effected but things like the post office etc are. Funkykits already have a backlog of order to dispatch and this will only add to the delivery time for any orders. They will also have to delay the release of the charity stamps until they are all up todate, yes they are here but will be released next week sometime.
Christmas Manga are also due soon and as soon as new rubber arrives the DT packages will be sent out. Nothing much happened in August but Sept and Oct will make up for it.
I have loads of new artwork to show you but will take a minuet to catch up with my work load before showing you sweet stamps from
Diane's new range, Country Cousins Christmas and the rest of Mary Halls designs.
Many of these are already at the rubber factory and will be available in the next two weeks, hopefully the DT will get theirs first and show you some wonder full card and craft ideas.

A quick get well message to Gayle who runs the Sugar Bowl Challenge blog, take care babe, put your feet up and get better soon.

Hi - Being a regular visitor it Elgin I can well imagine the damage caused by the flooding. The weather has been pretty bad here too (Forfar) but too many hills here to cause that much of a problem - Hope the weather gets better soon!

Jessica said...

So sorry to hear your town is underwater! I hope you all remain well, and the only problems you incur are postal ones!

Donalda said...
