What is St Luke's Hospice?

St Luke's is a hospice which cares for people aged 18 and above throughout Sheffield who have incurable illnesses. Their aim is always to control the patients symptoms, alleviate pain, and give them the best possible quality of life – all free of charge. It costs £6 million per annum to keep St Luke's open, and government funding, via NHS trusts only provides one third of the funds required, which means the Hospice has to raise a staggering £4 million each year to provide this vital end-of-life care.

This challenge was set up by a St Luke's Supporter who has seen first hand, the amazing care given to patients through St Luke's and whilst donations are now closed we would like to thank all our donators for their wonderful contributions.

Final Winners

Hi All

Sorry for the delay in announcing our winners but I've been ill so only have the energy today for getting it all sorted.  Anne also pointed out that with all that went on last month, I didn't post the winners from our October Simple Christmas challenge either - so - I'll start with that one first.

Our winner for that challenge who wins the lovely Christmas set from Waltzingmouse stamps is Sarah G with her lovely simple but very cute reindeer card






And our runners up for that month were 3 Stampin Up Lovlies - Zoe, Vicky and Lindsey with their super CAS creations.



Now, for our final ever winner for our Traditional Christmas challenge who is the recipient of our tripple prize package of stamps and die is Ruth - do check out her blog to see all the cards she made as there are many more in this style which is just super traditional and very beautiful.


Our final runners up were Sarah and Mihaela with these lovely cards with traditional flower and bow embellishments, and Vicky with her super CAS and very traditional holly card (well were are a CAS DT at heart!)
  

Finally - I just wanted to thank everyone who has played along being for one challenge, all of them, or something in between - you really have made a big difference and I will continue to update on any future sales next year so you can be assured your hard work and generosity will not go to waste.  I also wanted to say thank you for all the kind, kind, words you  left on the blog - I had NO IDEA we would be missed as a challenge so it was lovely to read how much you all liked playing along.  I know the DT and I missed making our cards this month so we miss it too!

Thanks again and all that is left to say is to wish you all a VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS and ALL THE BEST FOR A HAPPY AND HEALTHY 2013 :-)
