Well we are just back away from a week in Hawes in Yorkshire. We stayed in a lovely cottage and got to see some wonderful scenery. I had forgotten on Friday that the charity stall needed setting up so I gave them a call and told them my son would come and set it up this morning which he did for me. It's a while since he's had to set it up but I think he's done well. I showed him before he left how to set up the easel cards to try and give some height to the stall. I have also got a nice "fat" basket of cards that have been donated to me by friends in the crafting/blogging world and also a friend who now has got the contagious crafting bug!!! Thank you.
I have got to the stage of getting a bit stuck for charities to help. I try to alternate between local and national ones but as I've been doing this for four years now I sometimes struggle. I saw Hazel's blog last night (Dido's Designs) and saw a post on there asking for old bras and to follow a link. I duly did this and saw that Annie and her family have raised £1,300 so far for the Yorkshire Air Ambulance. That's a wonderful achievement. As we are just back from Yorkshire I think it is fate to pick this as my charity for the next 4-6 weeks or so.
If you have a charity that is "close to your heart" please get in touch with me including some contact information for the charity eg a website and I will keep a list and work my way through donating to them.
