    101 (or more) uses for Knit-a-Square DONATION CARDS

We have an awesome little item in the KAS shop that often is overlooked - DONATION CARDS.  This set of 4 cards has just been updated and is better than ever.  You can find them here

  http://knit-a-square-shop.com/?product=set-of-4-note-cards

For only $4.95 USD, you can download the pdf., and get the cards printed at your local shop for about 50 cents each, or print them yourself. You only need to purchase the pdf. once and you can use it over and over.

 We all have people in our lives who are ‘hard to buy for’ when a gift is required...... or sometimes we just want to say a little “Thank you”.

These cards tell the recipients that you are purchasing an item (or more) from the KasShop, or making a cash donation, in their name, to improve the lives of our children in South Africa. 

You get to choose the amount you want to spend in the Shop or donate – a large amount or as small as $5.

They are simple, plain cards that have ample room for any message you wish to send. They also come with a separate insert that can be used.

The insert has a brief description of what KAS is about and then goes on to say

My gift to you

( ) Today, I have made a purchase from the KasShop in your name and will be sending the following items ________________________________________ to our children in South Africa from you.

( ) Today, I have made a cash donation to Knit-a-Square in your name. These funds will be used to support our work with the children in South Africa.

So - join in the contest, join in the fun, and add your ideas for how you could use these cards to the discussion below.

 I will transfer your ideas to a list here in the introduction - it can be a specific person (Aunt Betty) or an idea in general (the postman) – list as many ideas as you want.

 This contest will only be open until October 31/14, so enter your ideas ASAP.

THE PRIZE - we will do a random draw and the winner will receive a free download of the pdf. for the cards

Actually, we’ll ALL be winners....... the ideas posted might solve some of our gift-giving problems and KAS will be the BIG winner by receiving much needed donations, large or small.

I’ll start the list - please jump in so we can add to it – and please check back now and then to see new ideas posted.
