I have learnt so much and worked with so many incredibly talented people from around the world and I am very grateful and humble that Heartfelt Creations believed in me and selected me to be part of the Heartfelt family. I have so many wonderful memories of my time with the Heartfelt Family and they will always be in my heart. Thank you Heartfelt Creations for all that you have done for crafters around the world. You have made the world a much better place with your hearts and caring souls. I would like to wish Linda, Willis, Emma-Lou, Richard, Ellen, Ben, Waneda, Kathy, Pam, Martha and all the Heartfelt family all the best for their new ‘seasons’ and wish them all good health and happiness in their new journeys.
