Drowning under paper

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.

Oh good grief!!!! What a fantastic way to get children scrapping and crafting... and what a lot of work for you

Let us know how you get on, and how the children do

Well done julie, you are certainly brave!! enjoy yourself

Have you taught kids before.....don't forget to pack the vodka and some high tar ciggies.....not for you...for the kids...some retilin might help too. And don't forget to plan your getaway route in advance.

Don't be so cynical (spelling?) ES

I'm going in mob handed armed with pokey tools if they get out of hand!!!! I have to say I spend a fair bit of time in school one way and another and they are generally a nice bunch of kids so we're hoping for the best )roped in a couple of crafty mums. 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.....
