I lost my Aunt to cancer in June of this year and I wanted to do something to
help cancer charities and as my husband and I already had our own little
handmade card business we thought we could do something alongside this. We
decided to create a range of photo cards where a percentage of each sale would
be used to donate to a cancer charity. we have had friends and family donating
photos for us to use and have so far created cards, keyrings , bookmarks and
gift tags.
My Aunt's name was Doreen, which is where the name Doreen's Dreams came from. We have had a custom made stamp made for the back of the cards - my
cousin (my Aunt's daughter came up with the design) we wanted the D of Dreams
to be made to look like a butterfly as my Aunt loved butterflies. The butterfly
will be coloured in according to what cancer charity we are supporting at the
time, pink for a female cancer charity ,blue for a male one and brightly
coloured for a childrens charity.
At the moment we are raising funds for Marie Curie as they provided support for
my Aunt and her family. We have been set up for about two weeks now and have already raised £12 for Marie Curie.
