Hiya everyone just to let you all know june 10th i will be opening a stall for coastal crafts .... With this i have had to do a slight change with the price list on items and also for the amount donated to sands itself ......... From this a percentage of everything sold is donated to s.a.n.d.s and the rest is put towards the cost of renting the stall and materials ....... So non of the money is coming to me and the charity is still getting a percentage of donations which i think is still rea... Continue reading ...

Sooooo everybody my husband has decided to do something that is a personal challenge but also a fundraiser for s.a.n.d.s as well....His story basically is as you know we had a stillborn child together and he wanted to do a personal challenge in memory of our son at the same time as doing a fundraiser for s.a.n.d.s...........He is absolutly petrified of heights,so he came up with the idea of doing the walk of fear at the top of Blackpool tower :)
Its a fantastic way and idea to raise money,so ... Continue reading ...

About myself and how Coastal Crafts came about......
Ok so here is a little bit about me and why i decided to start up Coastal Crafts Blackpool/fundraising :)
Well the first bit about me......I love being creative and arty.....Im also a gal thats into motorsport (yes you heard right a lady is into fast cars).....
Subaru`s are my passion but i love all things rally and motorsport related,(cars,motorbikes,fighterjets all kinds of things)
Oh and i love abit of rock music (sambora and slash rule)
Anyway there are lots more things about me but here is the other reason why Coastal Crafts came about................
In 2005 myself and my husband had the unfortunate event of losing a little angel to stillbirth.
It had taken me years to come to the point of where i was able to do something like fundraise for s.a.n.d.s.
so thats exactly what i did............I wanted to draw upon my own experiences to basically show that people who have gone through the tragedy of stillbirth wasnt alone and there was always someone out there that they can talk to and get help from,whence that is another reason why i wanted to help raise money for s.a.n.d.s.
I decided why not put a hobby to good use and create something helpful and inspirational to others.
It hasnt been easy and i do still struggle myself from day to day,but i know that there is always someone out there that can help me get through the day.......
So remember everyone that if you have suffered from the tragedy of losing a little angel please remember that there is always someone out there that will always listen to your troubles and that you are not alone.
Please dont suffer in silence.........
Behind the name Coastal Crafts Blackpool - Well Blackpool is the base,Coastal is because Blackpool is by the sea and Crafts well i handmake jewellery and gifts (Simples)
