Girls i was just wondering if you had any suggestions but one of the mums on the school council approached me today for ideas on what the council can buy 250 children for easter???? Apparently they would normally buy each a small easter egg but due a healthy eating campaign no chocolate allowed!! Sorry I forgot to ask about budget but I can't think of anything at mo

How about sunflower or other seeds so they can grow something pretty?

Rusty, the scrummystashcafe is closing down so any stock that gets sold out will be removed from the site. I am guessing Jammys book is one of those products as I didn't see it when I looked the day after Scatty linked to the sale here.

I do love these though:

Have you considered cutting a piece of card to the same shape as Jammys? Therefore free and very MSE

Thanks Mel, I think I will leave it, not sure I am clever enough to do something like one of the ones you linked. I could try the cutting card like you said ... I hadn't even thought of that!

I have just been making a sock monster for one of my kids, found some really funky socks on the local market Just need to have a think about buttons to match now!

Shelley, how about egg cups? I bet you can get them quite cheaply and they encourage healthy eating....

Have read all the posts but have had a bad day today as my main pc keeps crashing 'blue screen of death' and I am now terrified of losing my trillions of family pictures on there :eek: dh thinks he can access them still, so I am going to have to get an external hard drive thingy (have spent the last 2 hours looking at mind boggling sites trying to get an idea of one to go for)..

Those going to the NEC next weekend, I am sooo jealous, can you take piccys and post them on here on your return pretty please....

Rusty,well done on all your jobs completed. :T can you tell me how to makea sock monster? is it really difficult? would love to make some for my own monsters :rotfl:

On the subject of Jammys (the bedtime ones not the lovely lady jamtart) I wish some of the mums at ds school did that, it would be such a laugh to see some of them in there jarmas...actually the annoying mums who pull up on the naughty lines right outside school and just sort of tip the kids out are probably sitting in their cars in theirs and probably even their slippers....I hadn't thought of that!!

Am going to sort out a cupboard tomorrow under the stairs to make room for my growing craft stash in the hope that I will have the energy after the kids go to bed to actually craft :rotfl:

Night all x
