A question about Rosebud Fayre Block of the Month
This is now in the archive section of the site but the question from Cythia was: I was wondering as a paid member if I might be able to see this Block of the Month series on Rosebud Fayre?
Answer:
Yes we can organise that for you; we usually put videos (from the archive) up for a week but as this is a series would you like them spaced weekly OR all at one go! We could put them up for a month maybe?
