News & Updates from Rob Jackson

Crafty Bob and his Dad are currently mixing it with the party revellers at the Glastonbury Festival. Crafty Bob loves live music and is a regular visitor here. He has lots of celebrity friends and this year he has took his Dad as a treat.

Let's hope the weather is kind and it is more flip flop than wellies.

It was lovely to meet Valerie Spowart at the ICHF Craft Fair at the NEC in Birmingham last week. Valerie had very kindly brough the CUP staff working the stand a box of short bread biscuits.

They went down a treat and you should have seen the crumbs around the back of the stand come Sunday.

Lovely to see you Valerie and thank you so much for our tin of biccies. It was also lovely to meet Davina Rundle, her hubby and lots and lots of other CUP customers.

Thank you all so much for coming to visit our stand and we do hope you liked your extra big Crafty Bob Bag and your Hug from Crafty Bob. Big Hugs Rob xxxx

'Hi CUP Team, Last October I rang regarding a query I had with my new Silhouette, whilst talking to the receptionist she reminded me that there might be a photo of my Mum and me on your website taken at the NEC craft show in March 2013.

This was my last day out with my Mum as she became poorly last summer and passed away in September.

Finding this photo gave me lots of comfort and is really very special. I have been wanting to get it framed, but grief has got in the way, until today!

This morning, I sat with the photo and have just finished framing it, although I am not a photographer, I have attached a photo as I just wanted to share this moment with you all.

As well as saying thank you, thank you, thank you....who would have thought a snapshot would become so precious. I don't know the name of the lady I spoke with, but if by chance she remembers, please can you forward this on to her.

With very best wishes, Sandy Graham xx '- Hi Sandy I can tell you that the lady you spoke to was my wife Pam and when I passed on your regards it brought a tear of happiness to her eye.

We are so pleased that this precious photo is a perminent reminder of that special day you had with your lovely Mum.

Big Big Hugs Rob, Pam and Crafty Bob xxx
