Can you help me?



Lovely bloggers, i am asking for your help.

Some of you will know that i have a heart condition that requires me to have a pacemaker.
For a few years now i have helped out different charities by holding events at my home.
This year i am going to take part in Red for Heart to raise money for the British Heart Foundation, a cause very close to my heart (hee hee).


I am going to hold an event at my house for family, friends and school mums/children on that Friday. Everyone who comes must wear red, we will play games, have a raffle and all the food provided will be red.

I had an idea to have a stall where people can buy little crafty bits.....and this is where i need your help if you would be so kind.
I will not have enough time between now and then to make all the things i want, so i was wondering if you would be able to make and send me a little something to put on my stall. Something that people would pay just one up to four pounds for to help raise money.

It would need to be red and/or heart themed.

I was thinking:
Little heart decorations, Scented hearts, heart badges, bookmarks, Birthday cards or anything else you could think of.

A little of your time and the amount of money it costs to send your item to me will really help out.
If you would like to help then please let me know and i will get my details to you.
The item/s would need to reach me before Friday 26th Feb.

Thank you so much

Ohooo you are making me blub....

As you know my little three year old has Pulmonary Stenosis, had his ballooning when he was three months old and so far so good, he is for now as fit as a fiddle but he wouldn't be if it wasn't for his fantastic consultant cardiologist who diagnosed him and performed the procedure.

I think it goes without saying I am going to be sending you something, I wish I could be there....

Hope you raise loadsa money, can I copy the photograph at the top to put on my sidebar and a link to you please.

Love and special hearty hugs

Hi there, I've just read about your Red for Heart event on Twitter, courtesy of Mad about Bags. My Dad died of a heart attack several years ago so it's one of my fave charities too and I'd love to help you out. I paint mini jute bags and my heart themed one is one of my best sellers. More than happy to pop one in the post to you. Email is vicki@beenbags.co.uk
Hope it goes well xx

Dear Lissy Lou
what a great idea! Yes definitely I will help you out by making something :-)
I don't think my email is available via the blog, but if you send me yours via a comment then I will make a note and get back to you - I won't publish the comment if you want to keep your email address private.
Good luck with this - I'm sure you'll get lots of offers!

My mum had a triple bypass eighteen months ago so I am more than eager to help you raise money. However, I'm not fully into this crafting lark yet and my efforts may fall a little short of 'selling' standard. The willingness is there though, so I will email for your address if I manage to make anything I feel worthy of your stall. Good luck. Nice idea. xx

Hi hun,

I won't be able to make anything at the moment as I'm all tied up with my move but if I send you some money maybe you can be my personal shopper and pick out a little heart of something for me?
