Let us know how it goes. Plus we want lots of piccies of your little stall!!!
have you thought about decorated picture frames? All you need is some of the 4x6 or 5x7 plain ones from your bargain stores (home bargains, poundland etc), all your pink/purple, red & glittery nail polishes, and a very thin paintbrush. Then use the brush to decorate little ribbons of hope, hearts, kisses or if you're not that brave just little coloured spots around the frame. If you buy plastic or glass frames you can just wipe off any mistakes using a cotton bud and nailvarnish remover. You could even customise them with "mum" or "love you" on the frame.

i shall deffo add pics.not doing a stall though the teachers will add it all to a table for everyone to have a nosey at to see what they could win in the raffle.im going to make more items up today.couldn't find any small enough jars though so think i will just use the cone bags i have unless i can get hold of some baby food jars can decorate those then.

i like the sound of the frames but will bare them in mind for anything else i do

missworks2jobs i told my daughters teachers today about your lovely message and they asked if you would be so kind as to send me your name and address

Hi it went really well according to the teachers when i picked my daughter up in the afternoon,i will find out for sure tomorrow as they will have had to do the whole thing again for the afternoon children.
the teacher who has breast cancer was also there and unfortunately has got to continue her treatment till june as the chemo hasn't worked as well as they hoped so that was a bit sad to hear.

i forgot to take pictures of the items donated by missworks2jobs so please forgive me but have pictures of all the items i made wrapped and the ribbons donated by Gina so will upload them later
