This year has certainly been a bit of a challenge with many special occasions being postponed or cancelled. We’ve all l had to be a bit more imaginative with showing how we care when we’ve not been about to meet, party and learn how to bake cakes! 😉

Even so, life does go on, and we’re all making adjustments to adapt to these new conditions, and our wonderful makers have lots of ways of helping mark special days and events.

So, the theme for this week’s #WeekendWrapUp is celebrations, and what a glorious choice we have for you!
