...our picnic in the park...


...yummy yummy picnic fare with the most amazing group
of creative chicks in town. as usual we had a fab day for our end 
of year get-together at green point park. with homemade cheese sticks,
caprese salad, meringues, cupcakes and oh so much more
already getting excited for the next one,

this past year has been incredible, the help and support from all of you,
for all our 'causes', its truly amazing how we can make such a big difference 
when we do all these little things together. design really can change the world!
so a big fat hug and a sloppy grateful kiss to you all...


...ronel you lucky thing...


...green with envy that ronel was the lucky draw winner 
of an exquisite piece of jewelry donated by tessa, 
you ladies are amazing, always keen to give, of your time, 
your energy and even your beautiful artwork, we really appreciate
all of you who have been, and continue to be so generous...

...with love from c&h...


...is it really possible that we celebrated our 9th meeting 
at the end of last year at our fab picnic in the park. 
here is the porcelain badge that h&i made, with our 
gorgeous lorraine modeling her badge with such spunk 
and charisma...

...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
