“Gratitude can transform common days into thanksgivings, turn routine jobs into joy,
and change ordinary opportunities into blessings.”
- William Arthur Ward

Today, we celebrate our gratitude for all that blesses our lives.
We are grateful for you, for your creativity and the brilliance you
bring to this wonderful and colorful life just by being you.

From all of us at Living Felt,
we speak from our hearts and say,
Thank You.


Thank you for trusting in us, for sharing with us, and for showing us your brilliant
creative spark. We are sincerely grateful to be doing this work, to be of service to you,
and to be facilitators in your creative journey.

We cherish the feeling of that moment in which we see the "spark" in another
spring to life with renewed excitement, self confidence and joy. Sometimes it is just by phone,
sometimes it is by email, and sometimes it is in the comments of your order...but we feel it all the same.
We work for this every day, and it is our sincere honor to do so.
Thank you for being part of our creative family.


A
s always, we wish you happy felting, and let us know
if you have any questions or need any support by emailing us at
customer service@livingfelt.com

With Love,
Marie
