This year I have taken the plunge and set up a small craft business (Moomis Paw) selling my homemade fabric gifts. I have done 3 sales so far and have enjoyed the experience so will be booking more in 2012. 
It was selling things for GAP at the Walsall shows that made me believe I could make a go of this (something I've thought about for a long time but never taken the plunge!) and so I wanted to give a little back. I have tried a couple of different ways of making money for GAP, at one show I had certain products where all proceeds went to GAP, at another I did 25% of all my sales going to GAP.
Anyway, the result is I've just transferred £40 into the general fund, raised from these 3 sales and hope that next year I will be able to raise more.

PS Moomis Paw is named after Maisie Moo, Mist and me (my maiden name/initials were PAW!!!) ;D
PPS I have a facebook page if you want to wander over and take a look www.facebook.com/moomispaw
PPPS I have some dog/cat/animal themed fabrics and when I get chance will try to list some on the board if anybody is interested. It's mainly purses, wallets, toiletry bags and pencil cases in these fabrics, but I also have bags in other fabrics!!
