Make a Christmas Card

Hi All. I wonder if you can help me...
At the beginning of October my 3 month old daughter, Elsa was admitted to our local hospital (Princess Royal Hospital, Telford) with a UTI. Whilst there one of the nurses found a problem with Elsa's heart rate whilst doing routine Obs during the night. Since then she has been diagnosed as having a congential heart condition known as Supraventricular Tachycardia and she also has Arrithmia (which is still being investigated). The staff on the childrens ward were absolutely fantastic with us and I believe that the nurse who found the condition may well have saved my baby's life.
I am a firm believer in giving credit where it is due and have been wracking my brains to think of a way to raise funds to help out my local hospital (half going to the children's ward, the other half towards paying for a new heart scanner) As a crafter, with a large stash of craft goodies I have decided, with the help of some friends to make some christmas cards to sell at various local businesses.
So.. why am I telling you all this? Well, I'd REALLY like your help - I'm getting a bit bogged down with it all (I have a sick baby and a 4 year old to look after!) so I'm asking if you or another crafty bod that you might know, wouldn't mind sitting down for half an hour and making us a couple of christmas cards to donate to our stock (even one would be a great help!)
If you feel that this is something that you are able to do, please could you PM me and I'll give you an address to send them to.
Many, MANY thanks for any help that you are able to extend.
Kindest Regards
Kerry
PS - thought I'd post some piccies of Elsa to prove that this is real and I'm not some chancer making money off other people's work...
