Christmas Cards and Tags
I have been pretty scarce in the online world the last couple of weeks. In my monthly review for June, I spoke about how I had “volunteered” for a co-ordinating role for the school craft group. It has taken up quite a bit of time in the last couple of weeks, as we have embarked on our first major project.

We have created sample packs of Christmas Cards and Christmas Tags to sell at the school Christmas in July luncheon. And I don’t wish to sound immodest but they have come up fantastically well. I will post more about them next week.

Children’s Timetable
If like me, you keep an updated timetable for the children to use to organise themselves, we have moved into a new term and it is time to update. If you have not made a children’s timetable before , check out my post on creating children’s timetable.

We are off in about an hour for a few days to lovely Gippsland. So I will be absent from the blogosphere for a little while, hanging out with the family! My normal posting will go ahead as scheduled next week, but it may take me a little while to catch up on comments and emails when I get back.

Have a great week end and see you when I get back!
