SHOE BOX APPEAL
*************
Hello my crafty friends J
Well, what have I
been up to for the last couple of weeks?
Painting, painting, painting, (mostly), with a dash of card making just
to keep it interesting.
But for a change, I have been working on canvases for me, rather
than friends, family or customers. Here
is the video of one of the canvases I have been working on
Annnnyyyywwaaaayyyy, back to the SHOE BOX!
I try to remember each year, to make up a shoe box for the
Samaritans Purse Appeal. It’s something
that I started doing when the girls were younger, and I have just carried on
each Christmas.
It may be a little late for you to complete your own shoe box
now as I believe the cut off date for dropping the boxes off is 18th
November, however you can make a box online.
Here is the link to their page if you are interested in making up your
own box for SAMARITAN’S PURSE.
First I found a medium sized shoe box
I then filled my box with suitable gifts (see the website for
suggestions)
Downloaded the label, and marked my label with the gender and age group corresponding to the gifts in my box.
And finally enclosed my £3.00 donation (to cover the cost of shipping),
and a gift aid form, and secured my lid with an elastic band. All that is left
for me to do now is to drop my shoe box off to the local drop off point, which
I will do first thing in the morning.
I hope it brings a child somewhere in the world a little piece
of joy.
Thank you for taking the time to stop by and read my ramblings
Tata for now
Love Jane J x
