Description:

I got this idea from joining swaps that @bjohnston67 arranged for a rescue center.

I am sure lots of scrappers out there have materials we just donテつエt use. In a small town next to mine, a church has set up scrapbookevenings in the community. It is not a particuliary rich area and for a very small fee, you have access to all the materials the church has come up with and you get something to eat. It is a great way to open up the church to people who donテつエt normally go there and they are excellent in helping out.

I thought it would be nice to support them, so if I copy @bjohnston67 idea, this is what you do:

Youテつエll have 1 (one) partner in this swap and instead of sending the items to your partner you send it to the church. Take a picture and email your partner telling what youテつエve sent. They have paper, glue and some tools but I thought it would be nice with for example embellishments you donテつエt use or other things that are unexpensive to send internationally. Flowers, buttons, beads, stickers, eyelets, odd pieces of ribbons - anything and everything you can think of. Just fill a small envelope and send it out.

I have been on one of their evenings and the women arranging this are truly good people. I would really like them to know that they are appreciated.

Since this is a swap gaining someone else it is open to everyone with a good heart and good ratings - meaning no recent or unexplained 3s and 1s. Iテつエll give you the address when partners are assigned. This link is in Swedish but youテつエll at least know the church Iテつエm referring to.

Hope youテつエll like this idea!

I'd love to join a swap like this for a charity other than a church. Anyone want to post one?

@bragal please feel free to copy it if you find something youテつエd like to support

Oh...this is a wonderful cause and so great of you @Kicki for doing this to help these folks out:)) I would love to be in on this one, but got in watch for now until I get a few sent out:)))

I just reread it. I'm confused, is it a rescue shelter or a church? Not dissing, just curious!
