A quick one and an update

I am working on another couple of projects at the moment, one for a special birthday coming up and then for a group of cards for an upcoming class in December, so obviously I can't show you them yet.  

Here's a quick card whipped up using the negative space from dies.   Lots of people just throw the off cuts away, but sometimes they actually make an equally good card.  You will have to believe me that the colours on this card looked soooo much better in real life; Coastal Cabana, Strawberry Slush and Bashful Blue.

And remember I mentioned recently that I had been making something for Rachel Capps' fundraiser.  Here is an excerpt from the website about the amount raised on the day.  

So, what was the grand total raised on Saturday, from the raffle and craft sale.... I know you are all dying to find out....I have announced it to Shane and Rachel, they were overwhelmed by the generosity of everyone who contributed, and wanted me to pass on their thanks to everyone........ So thanks everyone........ And the total ........ An amazing ............. Twenty-two thousand and sixty-two dollars and fifty cents!!! ($22,062.50). Well done everyone!
This is double what we thought we might have a chance of raising, an incredible response for an incredible lady and her family. I am sure it will inspire Rachel to persevere on her long road to recovery.

Isn't that an amazing amount of money!  Still I guess realistically it won't go far with having to pay for all treatments involved, wheelchair and specialised equipment so she can go home.  But an amazing effort for all those who organised the event and worked so hard to make the day a success.
