Fundraising for HMSA- cards on sale update please read

Postby sillyoldbear » Tue Jun 20, 2006 2:58 pm

Hi everyone

Just a little note to let you all know that I am doing a little fundraising for the hmsa

I have spoken to both nonya and nickb about this and i have been raising money for charities for a few years and now i am including the hmsa into my fundraising.

i hold a market stall and sell all types of items but i also make cards and invitations. From now on proceeds from card sales will be donated to the hmsa.

so if any of you are interested in buying some cards i will be putting them on ebay soon i will put proceeds to hmsa in my despcription, so you all know where to look. Or if anyone wants and made to order cards etc then again i am happy to help, you can either pm me or put a little note on the forums.

i will make no money from the sales and will only take back money for new materials and posting of course

any further questions please feel free to ask

Hi Simone

Please let us know when you post them on e-bay. I love unusual or hand made cards as they are so much more individual and friendly. Do you do Christmas ones? Last year one of my work colleagues sent everyone cross stitch cards.

:bye:

hi all

rosie, will be posting the cards tonight, currently transfering images to my laptop so i can list them, unfortunately the pics dont do any justice :(

just type in hmsa on ebay and you will find my cards, will be listing them in about 30 mins so yous hould be able to find them from then. I very rarely make 2 cards the same, apart from xmas and as mentioned before if anyone has any specific cards they want just ask and it shouldnt be a problem.

well better get back to my listings!!

thanks for your support

Hi Simone,

I have just had a look at your cards on E-Bay and they are excellent. I have placed a bid on one of them too :wink:

Thank you so much for doing this for the HMSA - "every little helps" as they say.

Sue.

hi

it would be great to raise more awareness and if you could mention the cards we could maybe raise even more money

i worked it out that if every member bought one card we would raise £357!!!!!!!!!!!!!

will be adding a few more tonight

please keep checking regularly as i will be adding cards almost daily!
