AngelCraftsShop is OPEN!…

Come one, come all! AngelCraftsShop is launched and we are ready to fill your wardrobe with lovely handmade hairclips and related accessories.

AngelCraftsShop started out as a project for a Sunday School class to help a couple of special needs orphans, initially called Angels for Orphans. After that one project, i felt the need to do more and have been advocating for special needs orphans since 2012, mainly working with Reece’s Rainbow, a Christian advocate ministry. After a year, i wanted to have a constant way of giving to these precious children.

i decided to combine my love for crafting and my love for these kiddos. So this store was born.

50% of the sale price of every item goes back to the orphans. The other half goes to buying more supplies and keeping the store running.

Every month i will select one or two special needs orphans who are listed on Reece’s Rainbow to benefit from the sale of my crafts.

This month is for Wesley. Click on his name to read more about him.

In celebration of the launch and of World Down Syndrome Day, this weekend (Friday, 21 March, 2014 to Sunday 23 March, 2014) we are offering 21% off.

Remember offer ends Sunday (23/03/2014) at midnight, Swiss time (GMT +1:00).

Is Spring Ever Coming?…

Yes, that is a question a lot of people in Europe are asking at the moment. It is already the end of the 1st week of April and still we are below 10 degrees C for temps… and people over in England have reported snowfall!

But a late Spring isn’t stopping the boys from playing outside a whole lot. Tobias and his friends have been venturing outside with the football and bikes and scooters for more than 2 weeks now.

Here’s a shot (a rather poor one i’m afraid) of them playing football just in front of our apartment block:

i like that they have one actual goalpost and the other one is made of a bicycle and a coat ;) — i like that they have one actual goal post and the other one is made of a bicycle and a coat 😉

And in an effort to hurry Spring on, i’ve decided to hang a very cute bird house, complete with 3 little birds, handmade by Tobias on our front door (yes i know a cute paper bird house with a springy chimney and paper birds isn’t going to make Spring arrive any quicker but you can’t blame a gal for trying… Winter has been long) :

Are the little feathered creatures so very adorable?! PS: this is a mummy boast in case you missed it ;) — Aren’t the little feathered creatures so very adorable?! PS: this is a mummy’s pride in her son’s handiwork speaking, in case you missed it 😉

So Spring! Get a move on and get here already!

Happy Weekend to one and all 😀
