Well I have to be honest getting ready for the School Christmas fair was hard work but was made all worthwhile when you sore all the children having so much fun.
I had my own stall with lots of cards & jewelery i had made. I also designed & made some lovely items for the P.T.A craft stall.
The marshmallows were a great hit I had made 30 with a little help from Elizabeth and I think had if I'd made 60 they would all have sold. They were simple to make and looked great! I started by separating the pink marshmallows from the white. All the pink ones were dipped in milk chocolate and the white were dipped in chocolate & then hundreds and thousands. Once they were dry I laid them in a long line one pink followed by one white till there were 9 they were raped in clear film and a little ribbon tied at each end.

The fudge was a little more difficult but worth it, very scummy! I bought some clear sweet bags from the Internet for these and again tied with ribbon.I made three different flavours all based with chocolate then added nuts, cherry's or apricots.


So after a busy Friday (apart from the lovely pre fair lunch :-) thanks every one) I didn't do much yesterday at all apart from get this card ready for mum's birthday. Love you mum x


The tag comes out of this card so you can use it as a book mark.

Wow what a great couple of day's yesterday Elizabeth preformed st Sheffield arena with young voices it was fab.
Then today an already very proud mummy got even prouder when I received Elizabeth's school report.
Quoting her form tutor: "Elizabeth is an extremely pleasing girl who is a pleasure to teach at all times. She always tries her hardest and is willing to learn from her mistakes. She can always be relied upon to help when asked"
I don't think as a parent you could ask for much more than that.

Below is a picture of my special girl.
