    My Aunt give her daughters a little embroidered bag filled with babysitting beans, she has 4 daughters and they all have 2 or 3 children. They get a dozen beans each. Each bean is one day or one night babysitting. Not only is it a great prezzie, but it means my Aunt has decided EXACTLY how much babysitting she is prepared to do in the next year... my Aunt is a geniius xxx

    Totally genius! That is a great way of making it fair and also means those daughters who are less keen to pester her than others feel they have a right to ask. So clever!

    Here's the fab blog by Camilla who made them http://cfabbridesigns.com/craft-projects/clothespin-planter/#.UEEAz8FlSFk and lots of other great craft inspirations there too. :)

    Thanks for that! My friend passed on the idea to me as we were trying to find things for my daughter to do after a stay in hospital. Everyone who has seen them loves them.
