FREE Christmas Card making workshops
Sending Love is an initiative encouraging people to give a Christmas card/s to lonely aging people in our community who will be confined to a rest home during the festive season.
At this time of year, nothing is more personal and meaningful than to receive a custom-made Christmas card.
Megan Lawrence from Crop Craft Create, has donated two free drop-in sessions and paper crafting company Close To My Heart in America have donated beautiful cards to help you fashion something a little bit special. With Megan's assistance you'll turn them into a collectable keepsake that’ll be cherished by the recipient.
