This is a post I’ve been putting off writing for a long time.
Many of you will have noticed that my turnaround times have become much longer than usual, and I feel you deserve to know why.
Earlier this year I was diagnosed with breast cancer.
Since then I’ve had surgery and I’m now undergoing chemotherapy. So far I’ve completed four rounds of treatment, and unfortunately two of those resulted in hospital admissions due to severe reactions. It has been one of the hardest periods of my life, both physically and emotionally.
Luna Creations has always been a one-person business. Every keepsake is made by me, by hand, with the love and care it deserves. I know many of the pieces I create hold precious memories, and I never take that responsibility lightly.
I care deeply about every single order.
Please know that I haven’t forgotten anyone. Every order will be completed. It is simply taking me much longer than I ever imagined because my body can only do what it is capable of whilst going through treatment.
I’ve realised something over the last few months. I cannot destroy my own health trying to meet expectations whilst I’m having chemotherapy. If I push too hard, I become too unwell to work at all.
So, for now, I’m taking each day as it comes. On the days I feel well enough, I’m in the workshop creating your keepsakes. On the difficult days, I’m allowing my body the rest it needs so I can continue this journey and return stronger.
I want to thank every single person who has shown me kindness, patience and understanding. Your messages and support have meant more than you’ll ever know.
Thank you for trusting me with your precious memories. I promise they are safe with me, and I will continue to create each one with the same care and attention that Luna Creations has always stood for.
Thank you for standing by me while I heal.
With love,
Claire 💜
