Christmas Card Charity Workshop

I am so pleased to be able to invite you all to another Christmas Card Charity Workshop. It is held at many locations and at different dates so there should be a date on your calendar that will suit.

Those that have been before know what fun the day is and know what we are supporting with this event. If you are new and would like to know more, let me explain. Each year since 2008 the annual Paper Angels Christmas Card Workshops raise funds to purchase and supply Footprint Cards to the Hospitals Bereavement Program, we started with the Mater Hospital and we now supply Redlands, Gold Coast and the Sunshine Coast.

The Mater Mother's Bereavement Support Program is provided with the materials they would need to ensure footprints of those babies who don't make it home be made into special footprint cards along with name plaques, to allow families to honour and cherish their babies.  A box full of materials needed to complete the treasured footprint card for the grieving parents, is supplied to each hospital as well as teaching the staff how to stamp the names and footprints. The card is such a small gesture, but a meaningful record that can be shared, as grieving parents come to terms with their loss.

I will be at all of these venues - Pine Rivers, Thornlands, Carina and Wellington Point. The day runs from 10am to 4pm with a break for lunch in the Bistro (please BYO cash for your lunch) and the afternoon tea will be provided. If you have any questions at all please contact me on 0402441964 or email zenakennedy@lizzy.com.au

I am taking bookings and payments starting NOW! So book in ASAP to reserve your spot. Anyone going to Poro Cafe Thornlands needs to book right now as there are only 2 spots left.

Bookings will close 2 weeks before each event to ensure enough time to order all the materials.

My first Christmas Card

After a hectic but lovely last two months of Charity Christmas Card workshops for our Footprint Bereavement Program I was thrilled to receive my first Christmas card. The lovely thing about this card is that it is from a friend and fellow demonstrator, Leisha Ward and it is using the stamp set that we used at all the workshops, Hearts Come Home Bundle.

I haven't had time yet to post all the projects we made, so keep watching this space. However I did want to show you what my beautiful Christmas card looks like. How clever was she to make this into a bauble, the gold foil shines through the stars. I just love it and my photo doesn't do it justice, it is so pretty. Looks like I'll have to get a jiggle on and start sending some out soon or Christmas will have come and gone.

Cancelled for a good cause

I'm so sorry to my lovely ladies that come to my card classes. There are no card classes again this week as my studio is still being used as the assembly area for the Carina Christmas Card Workshop. Thankfully the event is on Sunday and I will have my room back. It has been such a busy time as I was helping at many of the events around Brisbane and this means make a mess, clean up, make a mess clean up, repeat!!!

It is now too late to join in at Carina but maybe able to squeeze in at Wellington Point and if you are up on the Sunshine Coast then you are not too late for Cooroy.

Look at some of the displays we had at Pine Rivers and Thornlands.






The raffle prizes were all donated by Stampin' Up! and we are so grateful for all the wonderful goodies they give us each year.

Such a good cause, raising funds for our Footprint Program. This allows us to supply hospitals with cards and all the supplies to make a card or cards as a footprint record. 

Bookings for Christmas Card Workshop closing soon

Don't panic, it is only the Bookings for the first two events which will be on the 21st and 22nd October. We need to get the ordering done in time to get them delivered in enough time to prepare all the kits.

So make sure you check the date of the one you want to attend and allow 2 weeks for ordering.

I am so excited! If you have been before you know what fun the day is and know what we are supporting with this event. If you are new it is about raising funds for our Footprint program, we supply hospitals with cards and all the supplies to make a card or cards as a footprint record. Whilst a footprint record may seem like a small gesture, it is a meaningful record that can be shared, as grieving parents come to terms with their loss.

I will be at most venues and look forward to guiding you through our gorgeous projects. The day runs from 10am to 4pm (Thornlands is 9am - 3pm) with a break for lunch which you can purchase in the venues bistro and the afternoon tea will be provided.

If you have any questions at all please contact me. I am taking bookings and payments now, so please book in ASAP to reserve your spot. Bookings will close 2 weeks before each event to ensure enough time to order all the materials.

Annual Christmas Card Workshops

It has come around to that time of year again where the Paper Angels hold their Annual Christmas Card Workshops. We have received so many enquiries already about this year’s charity events and bookings are now officially open.

 I will be attending the Wellington Point, Cooroy venues, and Pine Rivers if required, so you have a choice! You will love all the cards and other projects we will be making this year, I am so excited about them all, I can hardly wait.

We are very grateful to Stampin' Up! Australia for providing us once again with donations of SU products to raffle at each event, so please bring some extra cash for tickets for what will be a fantastic array of products to win! All proceeds from the raffles goes to the Mater Mothers Bereavement Program and other hospital support programs.  

**Payment is required at the time of booking so that your kit may be ordered.**

Please book with me by email or phone 0402441964. Places are limited and some venues will book out quickly, so please do book in promptly to avoid disappointment.
