From the mouth of babes...

wiseheartAs you know, Mum and I support quite a few charities on a regular basis. As a thank you, they often send us small gifts at the end of the year: stickers with our name and address we can use for our snail mails, bookmarks, stickers that relate to the activities of the respective charities and so on.
This year, we got two sets of little, rectangular cards - NOT stickers - from the Ambulance and the charity for children with leukemia, both sets containing doubles of both motifs. As I said, they are NOT stickers, so I had no idea what to do with them, and I didn't have the heart to throw them out. They were given us out of gratitude, and the pictures are actually pretty: ambulance cars and other motifs that children would find cool.
Then my student came today and said: You know, you could turn them into a memory game, since there are two of each. And I realized at once what a great idea that was. That's what I'm going to do! It would make about half an hour of work, gluing them onto cardboard, so that they would last, and cut them out along the pre-punched line, and I'll have one item more to sell on the charity fair. Yay!
In other news, we had the monthly cleaning in the morning, and I've finished translating Chapter 07 of "The Sins of the Mothers". All in all, a very successful day, although I'm frigging tired now.
