Hello everybody

Just been doing some browsing on Google and came across you guys! My name is Jo and I am a crafter of 'wooden things'!! To be more precise I craft wooden plaques and signs, childrens name plaques, blackboards, clocks, Christmas decs and so on and so on!!

I have my own website which I launched in August this year and so far, touch wood (excuse the pun!) it is going great guns!! I used to have a shop on E-Bay which was a great success but I closed it and lanched my website when they increased the fees and decreased the exposure!!

I still keep a couple of things listed on E-Bay, and I belong to a brilliant craft group on there where my fellow crafters have taught me a lot!

I work part-time as an accountant and run my small business in my 'spare' time, I can quite often be found beavering away in my craft room (spare room) till all hours.

I attend a few craft fairs throughout the year and have some Chrsitmas ones coming up which I always love doing ... because I love Chrsitmas!:D

Anyway, have waffled on enough now me thinks!
Look forward to getting to know you all!
Jo
