Mothers day cards

**nannysue** · 28-03-2011, 09:57 AM

Had a lovely few hours making these cards , and painting their garden ornaments !!!! At our local market the pot man was selling terracotta hedgehogs and tortoises for £1 each ( what a bargain )

so i bought one for each of the children , spent yesterday painting them with white emulsion ready for them to be decorated the 2 youngest ones have done theirs this morning and they are certainly colourful

the others will be doing theirs after school over the next few days.

Thank you ......

when you have the same children for many years it gets harder to try and come up with new ideas for special events , after doing this job for 30 yrs i think i will have to spend my retirement writing a craft book for childminders !!

I'd buy it...lol!!

Like you say, when you have the same children for years it does become harder thinking up new ideas.
