Macmillan coffee mornings...

...such a good cause.

My Dad was lucky enough to have a Macmillan nurse and I really believe that it was with this support, Dad survived much longer than the Doctors had predicted.

Tomorrow - 26 September - one of my staff has organised a cake sale for the whole of our office. Unfortunately, I will not be there but I made some wrist bands as a bit of fun.




We couldn't find wristbands anywhere so I dug out the Loom bands and made a variety of styles in the two-tone green design that Macmillan use. The box contains Single Fishtails, Triple Fishtails and Criss-Cross Quadtails. As this was a bit of fun to raise a few more 'pennies' I also did some other colours because not everyone likes green - everything has been selling well.

I'm currently making pink bands for Breast Cancer Awareness October.

If you are holding an event for Macmillan, I wish you all the very best..................................................

The loom bands are lovely Toni, I bet they will sell like hot cakes. Our local M&S are doing a raffle and donating to the fund so we will be there doing our bit! Well done for showing your support for such a wonderful charity too. Anne xx
