News & Updates from Frances Dent

Hi Everyone. Yes, I'm still about.

After one of the worse MS relapses I have ever had since being diagnosed 20 years ago and two bouts of pneumonia it has been a very bad year for me together with a cancer scare I can't wait to get 2014 out of the way.

The one up side is we have had one of the best summers on record which allowed me to get a fabulous tan even sitting under my garden umbrella as I lazed on my recliner.

Hubby and I managed two short holidays away plus a holiday beside the sea when hubby retired in August with all our children and grandchildren.

Looking forward to Christmas and the New Year with all the family and getting back on CUP come the New Year.

Thanks to Rob and all the team and to all of you who continue to buy my designs.

Wishing you all a very Merry Christmas and may Santa bring you peace, health and happiness for 2015.

Firstly, many thanks to Rob, Neil and the crew for all their hard work during 2013, much appreciated.

Secondly, apologies to all my customers and card makers for being an absent designer these pasted few months but my MS has become active again and life has been a bit of a struggle, however I am now improoving daily and hope to become an active designer again in early 2014.

Many thanks to all who continue to buy my products your support is very much appreciated. Here's wishing the CUP crew, fellow designers and crafters a very Happy Christmas and a fabulous New Year.

Have a good one see you all in 2014.

After a fraught nine months, which has resulted in my prolonged absence from site, while my daughter struggled to carry her baby and I looked after my four year old grand-daughter Oliveah, Archie John, her baby brother, arrived safe and well on 10th August at 11.10hrs weighing 8lbs 15ozs.

Hoping to be back on site on a regular basis come October. Thanks to all who still buy my designs and make such beautiful cards. These two designs are part of my new Christmas design sheets. More to follow. Enjoy.

Due to the death of my mother, in January and a health scare, in August-hence the extended holiday in September and the sudden death of my father in November I have not been as prolific with my designs on CUP as I have been in the pass, but I have still had great support from CUP customers and my brilliant card makers.

Here's hoping for a better 2013. May I wish each and every one of you be it designer, customer, card maker or Rob and his great team A Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

See you all in 2013.

After a hectic six weeks of school holiday looking after the grandchildren, (much enjoyed), Frances, hubby John and their dog Gypsy are escaping to Anglesey to a little cottage overlooking the beach at Aberffraw.

Might be back by the 21st, but will definitly be back by the 26th.

Many thanks to all my customers for their support this year and to all the crafters who make such beautiful cards from my designs.

Happy crafting.
