Very Sad News

We have just heard the terrible news that Beverley Todd passed away on 24th December.

Beverley was our guest designer for the ongoing Arty Girlz recycling challenge and also a sponsor and really did us proud, she was so talented and will be sadly missed.

Our thoughts are with her family at this very sad time

Rest in peace Beverley
