Welcome to my charity crafting, recycling and crafting on a budget blog, please look near to the bottom of the page (Just above the followers) for my testimonials, and on my sidebar for current money raised and receipts for donations I send. Thanks for stopping by! x I make cards and donate them completely free of charge (including postage) to charities for fundraising, I make up boxes of crafting materials, for care/residential homes, young carers/Chernobyl victims/housebound people/ and many, many other worthy charities, people, groups and initiatives, I am starting to hold classes, completely free of charge in residential homes and for isolated parents all of this is aimed at helping people to enjoy crafting, sometimes whilst living with difficult situations. A way to express themselves in a colourful, creative and postive way, celebrating the positive in their life, this (especially) for young carers can be crucial.

If you have any surplus/unwanted craft material knocking about that you could spare and would consider donating them to my charity crafting please get in touch x Every little bit helps x I do so many different things with the donated craft items I receive X

Scrapbooking session a success! Money raised to sponsor a child's education x

A little while ago I was asked to hold a scrapbooking workshop for a ladies 82nd birthday, with differing family members, i was to get paid! Which is a first for me as most of you know, I do my classes for free (residential homes, children centres etc,). We had the day which was an enormous success and I have decided to spend the money on paying for a childs education for a year in a third world country. I felt it was appropriate to do this, as obviously some of what I used would have been donated. Therefore, any of you out there who has ever donated items to me have helped "SPONSER A CHILD!"
HERE is the site I am going to do it on, but have yet to choose the child which I have asked my son Harry to do. You may remember Harry went on a Humanitarian aid trip for his 18th, so I felt for his 19th we should do something to remember and the child will be sponsored in his name. I think choosing is an awful process how do you do it? So when Harry has decided I will post a picture on here of the little one who will be educated for a year compliments of crafters!!!!!!!!!!!And here is what they get:
£42 to cover the cost of one year schooling  inc. free uniform books pens and daily breakfast. Alternatively you can set up a STANDING ORDER for £3.50p a month. Here are some of the pics from the scrapbooking workshop that raised the money!!!
