Carers Leeds October Demo

This wednesday I managed to sneak out of work to go to the Carers Leeds afternoon cafe. This months project was christmas using Craftwork Cards Christmas Warren collection. The cafe was very busy this time with lots of people ready and raring to get some crafting done. As it wasn't myself that had brought the project I had to spend a bit of time setting up some demos to show which gave me a chance to have a chat with some of the carers there. I then showed 3 different demos using the kits. I was a bit of a challenge as I could only use what was in the kit where as at home I've got lots of little bits and bobs to use to finish the cards off and a lot more time! They seemed pleased with the inspiration and a lot of cards got made which was wonderful. Its amazing what you can cram into an hour and a half when its something your passionate about it. One of the volunteers has taken some photographs of the events so hopefully they will be in the newsletter and on their Facebook page soon. After having a discussion with one of the staff there they have asked me to become an official Carers Leeds volunteer which is brilliant. It means that I will be involved in the cafes for the whole of 2013, work depending, which is great.
