First up, I successfully applied for £50K worth of grant funding for Gloucestershire Bundles, which makes a significant difference to the charity.

Secondly, I cross stitched 24 cards for people this Christmas - some of which you can see here.

Grant applications...those take a lot of work so well done :D

[smallhobbit]

Thank you - they certainly do and if I've written a grant application, or part of one, my brain gives up on creative words for the rest of the day.

Congratulations on obtaining £50K worth of grant funding for Gloucestershire Bundles! That's amazing! :-D Of course, I'm also impressed by the 24 cross-stitched Christmas cards. Just sending out 24 regular cards can be a challenge, but you cross stitched your cards as well!

[smallhobbit]

Thank you very much :) I enjoy cross-stitching, so it was fun making the cards (and it did take me four months).
