Using Up Bits & Pieces

My stash is far too big and one of my New Years resolutions is to try and make a hole in it!

These papers and embellishments have been around for ages and its about time they went.

These cards will soon be making their way to help raise funds for Sport for the Disabled, Cancer Care for Suffolk or St Elizbeth Hospice in Ipswich - all local charities which I donate cards to.

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.
