Hi All, I normally just read rather than get involved but there has been a lot of noise around the Beatrix Potter Launch.
I for one cant wait to get my CD and start crafting, ( it was delivered today but i was out!!!! will have to wait until tomorrow ) I was worried about selling but it was clarified on air Wednesday and now i have read the release I am very pleased with my purchase :mysmilie_696:
For information the note is below. it clearly states we can sell the cards, i don't run a business, i just want to help support my various charities (and give a few nice cards to loved ones)
I think this point has been blown out of all proportion.
