Cuddle Craft Collective

Some time ago I was invited to join the Cuddle Craft Collective, a group of  socially conscious designers and businesses who have banded together to run a series of auctions to raise funds for charities and communities in need. 

You can see who is involved here.

The charity we are raising funds for in our first auction is

  World Families Australia 

Our first auction takes place this weekend from Sunday 18th March 8am until 25th March at 5pm  (AEST)

The auction is taking place on Facebook 

All items have free Australian shipping and some have free international shipping

I have made Candy for the auction. 

She is 9" tall and very cute. 

I have included free international shipping.

It would be wonderful if you could take the time to bid on Candy once the auction starts and have a look at all the other goodies too.

Barbie's boot.

We have just finished a long weekend so today is Monday as well as Tuesday.

A little bit of extra time putting the house to rights and then into the dolls.

You know I have another blog, one where I talk mostly about my dolls.

I just had the loveliest comment left on this post.

Well, all the comments are lovely but the last one, from Debbie has really made my day.

I know sometimes I let this blog just sit a bit,

  and I know not nearly so many people visit now that I don't write everyday

 but I do love this little place where I have written my thoughts for almost 6 years

 and I am enjoying my dolly blog as well.

There are blogs that have touched my life deeply and knowing that I have had a similar effect on someone else makes me feel strangely happy.

 It's like a friendship isn't it, sometimes we seem to be doing everything together and then at other times family or work responsibilities take us away for a time.

 We get together when we can and enjoy each others company as we are able.

Blogging may not be as immediate as Facebook or Twitter but I think it makes a deeper relationship with the reader, less of the smart one liners and more of the, often aimless, rambling that friends are prone to.

Anyway, those of you who still come here to read, thank you and I hope you enjoy what you find.
