MAY's Newsletter
Hello! Thank you for subscribing to the Ellephantastic monthly newsletter
May has been a busy month for me & a tough month so far.
Update:
- May 7th I did an Ellephantastic Craft Open Day to help raise money & awareness for CFS/ME awareness day May 12th. I raised £32.00. I have a couple more events coming up & hope to raise some more money so I can send a good sized cheque to Action For ME
- Due to the budget cuts the CFS/ME Management course in York has been scrapped so a couple few of us have got together to campaign to have it reinstated. Here's the links to the stories in the York Press Fury as York ME course Scrapped & ME sufferer hits out as course axed
- If you would like to keep up to date with our campaigning you can follow CFS MonkE on twitter & Facebook
- Since the campaigning I have been really poorly with my ME so haven't got much done
Ellephantastic - ness!!
- As its a new month its time for a new digi FREEBIE!!! Pop over to my shop & Pick Up your FREEBIE
Baby Giraffe
- I have been spending quite a bit of time practicing my colouring after finding Make it Colourful challenge blog. Its a fantastic challenge blog with some awesome tips & inspiration. Here's some cards I have made for the challenges.
- Of course it wouldn't be Ellephantastic without some knitting!! I am a little behind with my knitting but here's a puppy & a Pepper Pig made recently
PLEASE NOTE: I am currently NOT taking on anymore knitting orders until I have completed my current projects.
