Newsletter
March 2006
Hello everyone and welcome to the second newsletter  from
The Swooping Magpie.
The  purpose of this letter is to keep you updated and informed about what's happenning at
 The Swooping Magpie 
 as well as giving you lots of great craft ideas.
I hope you all had a great February and managed to squeeze some craft in.I'm a great believer in the therapy of stitching and craft and often find that no matter how bad a day I may have had ,if I can do some craft for myself I feel a lot better and in a more positive frame of mind.
So with that in mind this month we are promoting that you all take some time out just for you.Its very important for us all to take time to regenerate our spirits and do something just for us.Sometimes,when life seems out of control and crazy,the simple of act of creating something beautiful with your hands can be very soothing and comforting and leave us with the feeling that the world is not so crazy after all! So feel free tot ake that time for yourself.Of course a whole day would be a wonderful thing-hehe-but there is much benefit to be had in taking 20 minutes a day-no matter HOW busy you are-just for you!
