going pink to raise money for cancer

My daughters teacher was diagnosed with cancer in november last year and has since left the school for the time being whilst she is undergoing treatment.as im a craft maker i did a stall at the school to sell my goodies.because they were so kind to allow me to do that i said id make a donation to the school,a percentage of what i had made.

One of the teachers approached me today as they was having a think about what the money could go on and she has asked me to make some of my items,with a pink theme and tey will raffle them off next month when they have a pink day to raise money.

anyway so far i have come up with
pink sock cupcakes
wine glass with pink socks or flannels in (glass of rose)
pink swiss roll made from wash cloths
wash cloth lollipops

any more ideas on what i can make,her teacher was a lovely lady and my daughter misses her,this is her second year at pre-school and its so sad that she may not be better before she moves onto infant school

    can you make sock creatures you could do those in pink/some pink fairy or wish dust, you can buy the pink cancer awareness pins on ebay you could make them into bookmarks/earrings/bracelets/phone charms/bag charms/wine glass charms. or just pink beads

    What a lovely idea. How about pink notebooks, pink post it note holders, pink bead key chains. Also as it is before Mother's Day what about making Mother's Day cards for them to sell.
