As these gifts were sent late I decided to create a bit of fun for the girls, by including a little project for them to complete together after opening their cards and gifts. We often used to craft together and I really miss those special times we used to share. So I thought I create a special craft task for them to do - Mini magnets and a gift box to present them in. Along with instructions on how to do the task, I included snacks, tea bags (for having a cuppa without me!) and a "suitcase" filled with chockies to share. The girls were pre-warned via email that they would need to prepare a morning or afternoon that week where by they would open their parcel and 'have a cuppa on me'. They were told what crafting equipment they would need in the email I had sent and detailed instructions which they were asked to follow in order. Some of the instructions included "Put the kettle on and while it's boiling, talk about how much you miss me" and "Now open the suitcase and talk about when you're planning to visit me"! Aren't I cheeky!
Any way the girls had a good laugh, which was part of my plan. Happy belated 50th Girls!
Here's some pickies of my gifts:
The 'suitcase' I designed.
I better head off to bed, I have a very BIG weekend ahead.
Hoot, hooty Hoot!
