Thursday Thank yous

Following on from the batch I shared on Tuesday... the next batch were even cleaner and simpler... as I made 30 of these for the admins of the Supplies for Key Workers (Harrogate) Facebook Group to hand out to their key donators and delivery personnel. "Thanking it on" as I call it!

This group are amazing at co-ordinating the efforts of people, donations, fundraising, sourcing materials and the logistical arrangements (made even more difficult in the non-essential travel arena)... and I feel blessed to be a small part of the cumulative efforts it is achieving... as the old saying goes "Together we can achieve anything!" Well pretty much!

And the crafters, bakers & donators in us are certainly being able to play our part - be it sewing, papercrafts, knitting, crocheting, jewellery etc etc etc. Be it scrubs, laundry bags, masks & holders, cards, sweet treats, cakes, handwash or moisturising cream to name but a few items... all to make key workers lives that bit easier... and to help fill in some key resource gaps that are occurring...

But the tears also keep coming... not only do I find it overwhelming at what has been achieved so far ... but especially when staff at the hospital who cared for my mum last year (and that I saw day in day out for months) pop onto the group page to say thanks for the donations they have received... important all round I reckon...

Tuesday Thank Yous

Well hello! So I have still been busy creating during lockdown... mostly thank you cards to express my wishes of gratitude to many a Keyworker...

But before I start... I have just received the new 2020-2021 Annual Catalogues which will be sent out automatically to those of you ordering over £50 in the last year... but otherwise please feel free to contact me if you would like to arrange your own copy...

These were the first batch I made... which were sent to the Government cabinet ministers, our local village shop & Post Office workers, our village delivery volunteers and a Supplies for Key Workers Facebook (Harrogate Area) group I donate too... all just to thank them for the job that they do... especially in these difficult times...

I have also donated 100 cards for all occasions to the Supplies for Key Workers pop up shop at Harrogate Hospital... and the next 100 are being sorted out as we speak!

But gosh...10 days since I last blogged!!  And LOL... that sentence does sound like something you would say in a confessional!

I have to admit that things have changed during our total shielding lockdown... and lots of things are taking up a disproportionate part of my days... I am slowly getting back to a new routine... and hope to be back creating & blogging again on a more regular basis sometime soon...
