Many people like me will have watched the various programmes in recent weeks about the kinds of communities where help is needed, reminding us who live quite affluent lives, with all our needs looked after just how much we have compared with many people around the world, including close to home.
I was inspired to make a tag for Comic Relief by a new blog I found recently - and this post Red Nose Day Queen. Do pop over and have a look and leave a comment on Caroline's great tag. In one of the amazing coincidences that happen in blogland - it turns out that Caroline and I know each other through work and we didn't even realise we were both crafters!
My tag uses the Prima Notary script text, such a useful background stamped in Red Peper Adirondack ink, Viva flourishes stamp in archival black ink the the lovely Julia from Cherry Pie stamps. I have added a vintage red nose badge for her nose from 2005 which celebrated 10 years of Comic Relief. The I added a Comic Relief sticker and various red embellies and a ribbon.
So today, whether you are doing something funny for money yourself, watching the feast of comedy on the TV tonight or just making a donation - have fun - but take time to remember what it's really all about.
