Hello. This is Clara, the girl who is not ever grumpy. I am here to raise money for Bliss to celebrate World Prematurity Day.

Because I am ever so nice and lovely, I have let some people who are bigger than me design me some special outfits. There was a fancy competition and all of the winning designs (as well as me) are available as a downloadable pdf. 

If you make a donation to Bliss you can get the downloadable and printable charity Clara paper doll pdf. You can donate as much as you want to... every single pound is helpful.

You can make a donation and JustGiving will send the money straight to Bliss to help lots of babies who are born too soon and too small. Laura says that when you donate make sure to tick the box saying it is okay for Cupcakes for Clara to see your email address, and then she'll be able to send you your downloadable paper doll. 

*Please note that donations in exchange for products are not eligible for gift aid*

The winning competition outfit design has been printed up as lots of ever so gorgeous cards that are available in the Cupcakes for Clara shop. All of the proceeds from the cards will be given to Bliss too. Awesome huh?

Okay, now Laura wants to tell you a little bit about why we are raising money for Bliss...

Most of you will know that my own little boy Theo was born ten weeks early two years ago. At thirty weeks I developed severe pre-eclampsia and had to have an emergency c-section. Thankfully Theo came out fighting, but tiny, and after seven weeks in special care he was able to come home. You can read the long version of our story here.

Bliss were a great support to us during those seven weeks, and any amount of money we can raise for them will help other parents going through a similar experience with their premature babies. 

*Don't forget when you donate to make sure to tick the box saying it is okay for Cupcakes for Clara to see your email address, otherwise we won't be able to send you your downloadable paper doll.*

Thank you lovelies!
