Helping Charity and Winning Pretties!

There is a fabulous arts and crafts directory out there called Crafts 4 Charity run by Mick of Shpangle jewellery in which every crafter listed (Lou Lou's Luxuries amongst them!) has given a donation to charity for the privilege of being listed!

A little while ago the Crafts 4 Charity blog ran a competition. The way of entering was to come up with a new idea to make the directory even better and to make more money for charity too. This proved pretty difficult as the fabulous Mick had already made it pretty perfect!

There were four entries to the competition in the end, all with the chance of winning a fabulous piece of jewellery from Shpangles! And guess what? They all won! And I was one of them!

I came home from work last week to a lovely little package:



And here's the close up!




I highly recommend having a browse of the Crafts For Charity Directory to find unique gift ideas and know that you're buying from crafters with a heart!

I'd also recommend Shpangle jewellery! Such a gorgeous necklace cannot go unnoticed! I'm still trying to decide whether to give it as a gift or keep it for myself!

Thank you so much Mick!
