A HUGE THANK YOU to all the crafty peeps who have helped us meet our Christmas Card goal this year.

We will resume making 'Red Cross' Christmas Cards in February 2020.

The story so far:
This year, a handful of volunteers, right here in the relaxed creative space, collectively made and/or donated in excess of 500 cards to the Australian Red Cross. Cards will now be shipped overseas to our defense force so they may be sent back to loved ones here at home in time for Christmas. This year we hoped to beat our 2018 volume of 400 cards and we did!!
Paper & Crafty Workshop volunteers have donated 525 cards to Red Cross during 2019. Well done everyone!!
Let's hope we find generous peeps again next year and continue donating to this worthy cause.

Cost is FREE to attend this crafty endeavour,
however you will be required to BYO
materials, tools and adhesives to create Christmas Cards to donate.
