Stamping Dragon Challenge Time!

Stamping Dragon Challenge Time!

This weeks challenge is brought to us by

This challenge will run April 1st - 14th

The Theme is - Use a Household Item as a Technique

PRIZE: $10 Voucher to Aspire To Thrive Shop

Aspire To Thrive Children's Charities (was Incy Wincy Children's Charities - hence the challenge blog name) was started by a group of dart friends here in Elizabeth and Salisbury ,South Australia - who wanted to give something back to the community. A group of them have continued to do through out the last 2 years and they have been shown the amount of difficulty our society has towards children with special needs. There are a lot of charities out there who help children with terminal illnesses so we thought they could aim more towards learning and behavioural difficulties.

Our shop at www.aspiretothrive.com.au are donated drawings and ALL money (minus paypal costs) go directly into the charity.

Now I have always told my husband that his hari gel could be used as glue and I proved it:
