I'm so glad that the Friendly Seagulls stamp set is back briefly. It gives me a chance to talk about something amazing that happened in January.
After I had to unexpectedly extend my stay in the UK to care for my in laws, I was desperately missing my craft room. I reached out to the nearest Stampin' Up! demonstrator to me in Berkshire - the lovely Helen Cook - to see if she had a class I could attend. She didn't, because she was just about to leave on a holiday to Australia!
But Helen heard my story and instead gathered up some supplies, drove over to pick me up, and we spent a few hours in a garden centre cafe chatting and playing with those gorgeous seagulls.
Helen didn't know me, but she showed me such kindness and generously gave me some time out that I really needed at the time. I'll think of her every time I see seagulls! And I look forward to catching up with her again next time, whenever and wherever that may be.
