.Hi Everybody,
These are boxes of cards that I have made in the past few months and they are now ready to take to the charity shops that I support.
One is the RSPCA in honour of Ruby my Cocker Spaniel who is now eight years old.
The other is the Cats Protection to honour my little tortoiseshell kitten Ella who will be three in April and she is still very small.
Both shops are very near to where I live and I donate my cards regularly to each shop
Both shops are very near to where I live and I donate my cards regularly to each shop
Each card has an envelope with it and they are packed in a cellophane bag to keep them clean
There are about 175 cards in each box so quite a lot of work has gone into these.
But whatever they sell them for then that is still a sizeable donation from me.
They cover all occasions from Birthdays to retirement and many more in between, so plenty for people to choose
from.
I will take them to respective shops and it makes me very happy to see the smile on the managers faces when I hand the box over.
There are lots of different techniques on this assortment also so people can be sure they will find something to their taste and I hope the card will make them feel happy and pleased with their purchase.
Bye for now ...
Hugs xx
Morning - eight years old eh. Where the heck did that go? I remember you getting Ruby. You are a very kind lady and I bet the charities are very pleased when they see you. Janet Boyne

Lovely photo of Ruby and Ellie. Nice that your cards go to charities as they rely so much on donations. I always take my old towels to a dogs home and they are always so grateful.

What a wonderful gesture Christina, I bet the charity shops are chuffed with them, so much hard work must have gone into them. They will make a wonderful display in the shops. I can’t believe your Ruby is eight years old, and Ella is three, where have those years gone. Take care Christina. Love Anne Owens ❤️
ReplyDeleteRuby and Ella are absolutely gorgeous, I used to have a Cocker Spaniel some years ago she was a golden one, wow that's a lot of cards but going to a very good couse.
ReplyDeleteTake care Christina Sue xx
It's wonderful that you can support these two places with your card donations! They must be delighted to receive your lovely cards!
ReplyDeleteSuch a pretty photo of Ruby and Ella!
i love that you donate in their honor. beautiful cards.
ReplyDeleteYou are such a generous soul. There are a lot of cards in those boxes.
ReplyDeleteI am sure it is highly appreciated.
I had a beautiful black and white female cat that was extremely small and she stayed that way until she passed away at 16 years old.
Ruby and Ella are surely great companions to you and keeping you busy.

Lovely photo of Ruby & Ella. Wow-that’s a fantastic donation to charity, I’m sure they’re thrilled when you arrive.

Hi Christina, I’m sure that both charities love the visits from you ~ the cards will go down well their customers! Well done! Hugs, Maggie Coleman xx
ReplyDeleteOMG Christina, I can't believe Ruby is 8 and Ella is coming up 3 already. I can vividly remember when you got them both as pup and kitten. I love Ruby's trim. I had Ben done a couple of weeks ago and he went from looking like a yak to being so sleek he's unrecognisable. I need to take him to the vet fast so they can see that he really is the right 'silhouette' and it was all fur and not fat the last time he was there lol.
ReplyDeleteI wish I could make cards to donate to the local charity shops but, being disabled without transport, they just lay around hoping I'll use them one day.
