Angels for the Forgotten

Shandell talked to us today about Angels for the Forgotten a group that is dedicated to giving dignity, hope and joy to our community's most vulnerable who are entering foster care or living in crisis.
Their aim is to put a little bit of Sparkle in to otherwise bleak and tramatic situations. Please check out their website to find out more about this group.
We are a caring group of ladies and one of the ways we can help Angels is to make cards, how easy is that? Birthday cards, christmas, cards just to say "hello". So ladies, if you can help by making some cards that would be a wonderful gesture. Shandell is hoping to get at least 100 cards, so ladies can we do it? As many cards as you can put together, or even find in your stash, would be a help. Just bring them to the next Simplycrafty get together, every card you make will help towards making the goal of 100.
Thanks ladies,
Linda and Dilys

16 October

Hi ladies, another enjoyable day, lots of work and chatting as usual. The swaps were their usual amazing standard, its great to see all the different techniques. Next month's swap is:
(a) cards - "LOVE" - e.g. engagement, wedding, wedding anniversary, valentine's day, to name a few; and
(b) embellishments - "SKY" e.g. birds, aeroplanes, helicoptersw, clouds, butterflies.
These are Shandell's great ideas and luckily Shandell usually gives us some ideas, so ladies, if you want to join in, please let us know asap so that we can finalise numbers.
Have a good month and for those going to the retreat, enjoy enjoy and enjoy - watch out for the food, its fattening LOL.
Bye for now,
Linda and Dilys.
