Christmas is just around the corner and down a bit....

Just to get you in the spirit a little, I found this lovely little tutorial from 

sweetup-northmornings.blogspot.com.au 

for a vintage Christmas tree from old music sheets (but you could do it in any paper you like) I haven't made this one myself yet, so I would love to see photos of the ones you do. So get you crafty hat on and go.

 Happy crafting!

Please help my Daughter and her Family

My daughter Natalie's house fire has devestated her lovely family of husband Stuart and two baby daughters Chantelle 3 and Eliza 18 months.We are thankful that no one is hurt physically but these things leave emotional and financial scars. Unfortunately their insurance was underdone and will not fully cover the re-building or restoration, so I am trying to get all those caring people out there to donate some cash to help them out. I opened up a fire fund account today at the Bendigo Bank so i am hopeful that help will soon be forthcoming.
Natalie and Stuart are the most loving and helpful people I know and never fail to help out anyone in need, even if it means going without, themselves. So now in their time of need, I hope you will find it in your hearts to give them a helping hand. Many items have been forthcoming and it is much appreciated, but they also need cash to help cover their funds shortfall. Thank you so much. The bank details are as follows.
bsb    633 000
account number 145964458

Please leave your name as a reference and email me your donation and contact details unless you wish to remain anonymous. leoni.nicholson@bigpond.com
I will be publishing the donors here and on my facebook page.
cheers
Leoni (Natalies' Mum)

Is Kindness Outdated?

reach out to someone in need today

Have you ever been in a really bad place (ill, sad, depressed, scared or worried) and have tried to reach out and come up against a wall of indifference? This happens to people every day when they seek advise from a doctor, friend, relative etc, It really isn't that difficult to be kind in your everyday life.
Kindness costs nothing and yet many measure how good they are in monetary and success values. How wrong they are, we are all flesh and blood after all. You only have to give a little kindness to reap the rewards one hundred fold, no matter what your belief system is. I think we should have a world kindness day if there isn't one already. I would love to hear your comments and experiences.
