Charity Kit Day and Day 4

Hello friends

A longish post today so perhaps pop the kettle on!


Firstly and most importantly this month's Charity Kit.
(Again, apologies it has been delayed, next month we will be back to
the first Sunday in the month).

This month's kit is a 5x7 card using beautiful dies designed by Stacey Caron
for Spellbinders.  Untamed Heart, Labels 56 and Rebel Jewels.



Included in your kit:

Ivory card base and envelope.
Ivory 5 x 7 card mat.
Die cuts - Untamed Heart (gold), Labels 56, Rebel Jewels
Typed and die cut sentiment
Flowers and leaf die cut with cream pearls
Lucky number
Full instructions


As always, inside your kit is a lucky number and if you hold
the winning ticket your prize is a goody bag containing
dies, stamps and more.

Kit is now available on the website here.



As mentioned, all proceeds go to Ronald McDonald House, Camberwell.


I'm delighted to tell you that Hope and Chances has been awarded
a bird to nest on their Tree of Life.
This is a prominent feature in the hallway of the RMHC House.
This is a testament to all of YOU who purchase kits each month, your money
is helping so many families.


Thank you all so much for your continued support - 
we are now four years on and still going strong!

Day 4 of my trip finds me in McDonalds - it had to be done if only to send
photos home to Elliott (who LOVES McDonalds!)
This is a cheese, egg and bacon biscuit.
It is much like a scone and delicious - I ended up having three of these...
not on the same day!


After breakfast I checked out of the downtown hotel to transfer to
a hotel more local to Cathy's home.
On route we stopped to admire more landmarks and stunning fountains.


Seeing the yachts bobbing on the waves next to the skyscrapers looks stunning.


Lunch was P F Chang's (can you see a foodie theme here, I like food!)
If you ever visit the States you should go to P F Chang's
(and of course if you like Chinese it is yummy!)


Sweet and Sour Chicken is definitely recommended. 


Also on this day I visited Cathy's home and discovered this little beauty.
Meet Chelsea - absolutely adorable (don't tell Bella!)
I was so ready to hug a dog.


We also managed to fit in visiting a shopping mall on this day,
no trip to the USA would be complete without shopping :)

Take care friends - I'm back tomorrow.
