This saddens me; I remember her when I was a girl and first learned that pipe cleaners could be used for crafting and if they had longer "hairs" on them that they were bump chenille. I loved her Christmas craft kits that we could buy at Frank's or make out of what we could scrounge up at home and looked forward to her 5 minute "show" after the Channel 4 news in the morning. RIP Carol. You made an impression on a little girl
