I really hate to waste food when there are so many people who are hungry, and have lots of recipes which use up over-ripe bananas and slightly wrinkly apples - even learnt how to make potato scones the other day to use up left over mash! Congratulations to Linda on winning your voucher, and what a lovely gesture to donate to Crisis. My niece used to work with homeless people before she had her children, and the stories she told would break your heart.

We can spend our money on crafting goods generally whenever we like - but for so many who lost their lives then and in the 2nd war and in every battle since then - we would not be in such privilege positions - so it does good to be humbled occasionally and I admire what you have done.<br /><br />Much Love Kim xx<br /><br />Great art work as ever!!! lovely warming colours fantastic xxVacantmomentshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13640424665632267681noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5012372152948410381.post-39744767314530226612014-12-22T04:31:19.208+00:002014-12-22T04:31:19.208+00:00How kind and generous of you.

We all get so caught up in preparing for the festivities, it is easy to forget that the appalling situation exists that there is significant percentage of our population who having to rely on food banks to survive. Well done Wanda for mentioning this and I hope everyone will be able to contribute something to their local food bank.

It makes you feel good doesn't it, knowing that your actions last night will make a BIG difference to someone. We are on a tight budget but I pop a ban of beans, teabags or similar into our Tesco's box quite often throughout the year. We also give new toys to the local Salvation Army at Christmas via a service at our local church. They go to local children who wouldn't otherwise get any presents (there are nearly 250 families within a 8 mile radius of our village that need this help! How could we not help them?, And we live in a relatively affluent area!) When I go to the supermarket and see the obscene amounts of food and drinks people have in their trolleys just for a couple of days it makes me feel quite sick. <br />On the bright side, you have nudged us all to not just think of others but to take action. Thank you. And you give to us all every day with this wonderful blog that has me in tears, sometimes sad ones, but so often happy ones. I have to make sure hubby is awake before reading your daily post as I often woke him with my laughter. What a wonderful person you are, and your followers too. It's just a shame you can't give us more hours in the day to craft more as you inspire us so much. By the way, please tell Dave that I hope his sore finger that we saw in yesterdays pics is getting better!!! : )) (sorry, couldn't resist that one : ) )Take care.

Very...Fab technique, beautiful in its simplicity. <br />Very few of us could survive for long if we had a sudden change of fortune. With that in mind, I believe in donating to food banks because any one of us could find ourselves needing their help at some point.
