Hi all, just needed to share, on Thursday evening I dicovered maze books, lovely I thought, and promptly stayed up until I'd finished one. I'm a fairly new scrapbooker so was very proud and took it to show my crafty friends at the parents group at school on Friday. By 10am I had agreed with the head to teaching the whole of key stage 2 to make their own book to celebrate a school anniversary and to make one for each of the key stage 1 pupils to decorate themselves, that's 330 pupils -160 books to be made by a week on Monday!!!!!! How do I get myself into these pickles lol. Anyway back to the cutting board thank you for listening.

Really pleased to say all the books are made for lower school so just the lessons to teach all the preperation is done ...........and breath.....
