Hello ladies,
I hope you're all enjoying the lovely sunshine :-) Its that time of year when I start planning our annual coffee morning/ spring fair for FOP research. Friends of Oliver is now a registered charity supporting research into the terrible condition my little boy oliver suffers from.
Last year lots of the kind folk on here donated beautiful handmade cards for us to sell so I wondered if any of you had some to spare this year. I understand there are many charities out there looking for help so even a few would be most gratefully received. I see there is another open request for cards for our troops which is such an honorable cause.
Anyway, check out our website and thanks for reading

I'm more than happy to donate - I've just made a load of cards today so can send some of those to you as well as some from my box so you have some variety.
Can you pm the address to send them to?

I want to say a really big thank you to Crafty Cat and Kaz for sending me so many beautiful, beautiful cards for our spring fair next month. It was so kind and generous of you! I've already sold a couple! I also received a twin package from a clever crafter but they didn't put their name in the package so I can't thank them.....so if you're reading this please can you make yourself known!
They will make a big difference to our fair next month so thank you again. I'll let you know how we get on,
Love Helen x
P.S Apologies for the delay in acknowledging their arrival, we've been away for a few days so only picked them up from the post office this morning!

Good evening Ladies!
I just wanted to thank you all for your lovely donations to our Fair! It was a big success and we made about £700 - £800 I just need to do the final totals of monies and donations etc. The card stall looked great! I took a photo but now I need to figure out how to post it! We still have cards left so we're going to have another craft stall at a local fair in June in Sale and then we also have an event in Shiremoor in September so we'll sell them there too. None of them will go to waste and every penny will go to research into finding a cure for FOP.
Again, thanks for your generosity in donating your cards and for the postage costs to get them here,
Best wishes to you and all your families,
Helen, Oliver and his FOP friends x
