Tracy Watkiss

Crafting all her life, in her youth was taught to knit by both Grandmas and also enjoyed crochet, more recently (7 years ago) she crossed over to papercrafting and forged out quite a successful career as a demonstrator, going all around the country demonstrating in stores and at Craft shows for some of the leading craft wholesalers. She has also had work published in various craft magazine (Making cards, Creative Cardmaking) and has also been a guest on Create and Craft Television.

The Story

Karen and Tracy have been friends for several years and always gossiped over crafting, coffee and cakes about the dream of opening a craft shop. Then one day, they really talked, and the "Dream" became a reality.
After Lots and we mean LOTS! of scouring the local vacinity to find the perfect shop. The dissapointments of the ones that got away, the jubilation at being able to afford one a bit bigger than THAT! Till finally the Triumph of finding "THE ONE". The one that ticked most of their wish list boxes. Just Tracys was born.

So come *PLAY with us, have fun with old friends, make new friends and be creative!

N.B. *PLAY: If our husbands, other independant retailers, Craft wholesalers etc are reading this then the word Play means an extremely large amount of Very, VERY hard work, that leaves us absolutely, without question so tired that we rarely, if at all, if ever have time for Housework or problem solving.
