wiseheartTomorrow, we're going to have our annual charity fair at school. In the recent years I always had my own booth, selling things we made with the kids, as you can see here:

However, last year's bad experiences motivated me not to have a booth of my own this time. I took upon me to help out a few colleagues who had too much work with the actual teaching to do any crafting with their classes, and so we made the bookmarks with the fifth-term-class that I've showed a couple of entries previously. I also made Christmas journals with a seventh-term-class yesterday. There will be pics, eventually, at least about the ones that I made myself.
On Friday, I'll make Christmas candies with my fifth-term-group, and on Monday we'll bake chocolate-peanut cookies with the same seventh-term class. They are nice kids, both groups, so I hope it will go well. I'm tragically behind schedule with my own baking, but this year's Advent time is so frustratingly short!
And I still don't know what to give Mum for Christmas, now that our shared trip fell into water due to her illness. *sigh*

Date: 2017-12-17 05:48 pm (UTC)By the way, thank you for your Christmas gift, it has arrived in the middle of the week, I just didn't get around to tell you. My apologies. Also, yours will most likely only arrive in the new year, as I haven't managed to get to the post office yet. It is very hard to get anything dealt with when one is permanently working in the afternoon shift. So sorry. :(
