Raising a bit for charity

I am glad to say that I have been able to raise £100 for the Blue Cross charity by selling my birthday and Christmas cards to friends at work

One of the 50 challenges I set myself when I turned 50 in August was to raise some money to build a new re-homing centre for the Blue Cross in Suffolk.

I regularly make cards to raise funds for the Hospice and cancer care and thought it was time to support another local charity. 2 of my cats  Millie and Moxxi came from the Blue Cross as kittens. 

There was an article in the local newspaper about how difficult it was to find homes for black cats - so we welcomed this pair into our home. Despite them coming from the same litter, they are so different in both size and personality!


Moxxi is a long, skinny cat who is friendly, out-going and a bit of a hunter, whilst Millie is a short, fat furball who never ventures further than the bottom of the garden!

Here's a post about them when they were little kittens.
