The Making Spot is closing *unhappy face*

The Making Spot website is closing.
This came as a shock to me though I suppose people who pay a bit more attention to the site might have had an idea?  I found the 'Winter wonderland' pattern on this site (see 1st July 2012 post) and for free too. It's the loss of a great resource.

So on the 11th/10th of September subscribers to the newsletter and visitors to the site were advised of the closing by the following message;

"Hello, we hope you've had a wonderful summer. Today we're sorry to announce that The Making Spot website is closing – Monday 30th September will be our last day online."

While more details would have been appreciated it's their prerogative I guess.

So getting my last lot of shopping in before the 30th of September. Lucky I have some already though magazine purchases. Though I'll still need to cull the list - have pretty much zero disposable income at the moment. :-(

Still more than I should spend but I just can't get any less.
Hopefully I'll complete at least some of these in the future and they won't languish on my computer gathering metaphorical dust.

It's a good thing I'm not much interested in card making or scrapbooking or I'd be downloading till the 30th. And in the poor house.

***Edit2:
fruit loops, forgot to take into account the site was in GBP not AUD so $50- spent after all. I really need to make sure I do some if not all of the ones I spent money on now.
