...we can't resist a plea for help...



...so, the red cross children's hospital approached kristen recently and 
asked her if she'd be interested in 'sponsoring' a wall in the children's hospital, 
she was chatting to us about it and we thought that this would be an amazing 
opportunity for us sweet and soutie girls to flex our community spirit muscle.

kristen has graciously offered yo donate her design, she has chosen her lekkertjies wallpaper, we just need to raise the money for the printing as well as the application of the wallpaper onto the wall at the hospital.

the costs involved is a measly R2000, and so we thought that we could 
definitely get involved to raise this money for such an amazing cause.

so, how can you help? well we figured if all of our members would donate one 
teeny tiny piece of their own work, we could put together an amazing 
'hamper-of-loveliness', which we could then raffle off.

as the 'things of loveliness' hamper will be soooo awesome and incredible, 
we thought that a reasonable amount to sell the raffle tickets for would be R50, 
'FIFTY RAND' you say in alarm - when what you should be saying is 'ONLY fifty rand, 
for a chance to help the red cross hospital, oh and win this amazing hamper!'

so at R50 per ticket, if we just sell 40 tickets in total, hey presto we'll have more 
than enough to make the wall a happy beautiful space for these poor kids who 
will be spending their christmas in hospital, often away from their families, 
pack your bags you're going on a guilt trip! ;)

so if you can help by donating a 'lovely' and then are keen to buy a ticket yourself 
for a chance to win ALL the 'lovelies' please let us know, we would REALLY appreciate 
if you could try sell a ticket or two to your friends, family, co workers etc, 
cheeky i know, but it's for the children after all ;))...     ~ c&h
