Hello Helen,
Well I'm so pleased you receive your 'Thank You' card and letter.
I actually remember walking into the shop and seeing this paper. I think the Shop was closing down, but nevertheless the paper was really expensive. I bought one pack containing only about 10 sheets.
Always quite worried about using it because I loved it so...much. Then after getting my Thank you cards printed from Vistaprint I thought why not run some copies off using the Stationery. So this is what I did. I suppose 10 years ago I wasn't so computer literate. Well I know for a fact I wasn't!
Anyway I thought I'd write a little letter to each of you and enclosing it with the Card.
So...I am so glad I found a use for it, and how appropriate it is!.
'People joining hands around the world in Friendship'. Umm...I like that. I wonder if I could find a use for that......
You are most welcome Helen! and 'THANK YOU!'

SIBOL Squares From Australia By Annette Young.

The Lost Stash by Sally 'Chunky Hooker'.

Whilst rummaging in the scrap cupboard, I heard a plaintive cry " She never looks in our little bag, Can you tell me why? " A voice replied, "We're old and tatty, A little bit worn out, Our colours dull, our fibres matted, Now don't give me that pout!" "But I want to be a 'Sibolette', I really, really do! To be part of a Sibol, Made by the lovely Sue. It's my destiny, my dream, my fate!" The voice was getting higher, "I may be old but it's never too late, I'm not ready to retire". "Oh gosh", I thought, That sounds like me, Slightly worn, with a dodgy knee. So I'm off to college, A Diploma to gain And the voices of the Lost Stash? "Sibolettes" they became!
