Breast Cancer Campaign Wax Melts Boxes Tutorial
I am absolutely delighted to be partnering up with the amazingly talented Nicoletta from Marshmallow Blends.
She is a very dear friend of mine, and a remarkably talented artisan soap maker and chandler.
Something very close to her heart is the Breast Cancer Campaign, and this year, she has made wax melt nipples that she is selling and giving the proceeds to the charity.
I have supplied the boxes for her, and as an addition, I too will be donating.
For all the orders placed between now and Monday, I will donate my 35% commission to her Just Giving Page. As I am now at the highest commission that Stampin’ Up! offers it’s demonstrators, I’m pleased to be able to offer all my earnings from these sales.
But it doesn’t stop there. Over on my PootlesJewellery Blog, you will see a special locket I have put together for this, and again, all orders placed with my South Hill Designs shop will also have the full 35% commission donated, as I am also on that level there too.
So please, do take a look at Nic’s products, buy her things, treat yourself to a locket, and stock up on craft supplies while you’re there. You are helping an amazing cause.
And as I sat making up the 50 boxes for Nic, I was getting some cramping in my arms, and at the point when I thought of stopping and taking a break, I remembered that I am fortunate to not have breast cancer, and that if I should one day get it, as it does run in my family on the female line, I would hope that there is money there to combat it. So I pushed on through and made them all in one go. Forgetting the pain, forgetting the time it was taking me, and remembering that this is to help us now and in the future.
Video is here, where I chat some more.
