Lately. . . .

Summer fruit platters. . . . 

 Busy sandy beach days. . . . 

 Operating on puppies that eat the strangest things, and other games. . . .

A bit of revision, colouring, home schooling, preparation. . . . 

 Ooodles of fun, backyard cricket and bubbles (in and out of a glass!). . . .

 A rainbow of ribbons, cut and ready to thread. . . .

Dinner prepared by my Man, oooohhhh, how I love my food. . . . 

Street Party Auction invites printed, scrolled, tied and delivered.

What has been your 'lately', lately?  

 Thanks so much for stopping by my place today.

Oh and a P.S. Update on money raised from my madeit store is now $16.00 to be donated to the QLD Premier's Disaster Relief Fund.  

I Want To Help!

As I shared with you all only very recently my little made it store, I would now like to make good use of it.

I am donating $8.00 from every purchase to the Premier's Disaster Relief Appeal to help raise much needed money to purchase whatever is needed for those who have lost everything in the recent and continuing floods.  

I have many family and friends throughout these affected areas and although we are only a 5 hour drive away from them, I have never felt so cut-off and unable to help them, as I do right now.  I do not like feeling helpless, I do not like feeling helpless at all.

I was thinking of starting a yarn-a-thon to make blankets, I also thought of a notecard pack, consisting of notelets, envelopes, pen and stamps, then there was something as simple as lavender soap wrapped in a cotton crochet flannel.  But right now, right here and now, how do those items get through?  What vehicle other than to fly them in, can deliver these items to these people?  They need the cash, quite simply, cash is king.  

So please pop on over and have a browse through my simple little store.  If you don't want to shop there, I don't mind, but perhaps you know someone that would like to shop there.  Please let them know.  I am going to keep a tally here on my blog of money raised.  I currently have $8.00 in the kitty from a purchase that was made yesterday.  Thank you so much for your purchase Zyatica.

Thank you for stopping by my blog tonight.  Keep safe at your place.
