Mother's Day...

Busy, Busy, Busy!!! The last few weeks have been mostly spent organising the Mother's Day Stall. And as much as I've enjoyed it, it has been pretty full-on. Particularly on the admin side of things. So many newsletters to print out and staple (475 to be exact...and more to go), notices and packs to hand out to teachers, doing up helping rosters, banners and the list goes on. But on the fun side of things, today I made up all the 'Bathtime in a Bag' gifts. I cut squares of pink muslin, piled three tablespoons of oats in the middle, added a few drops of an essential oil, then tied them with a pretty ribbon. These are called 'Bath Teabags' and you place them under running warm bath water for a few minutes, then leave in the bath while you soak away your troubles. And I bought some cheap tealight candles from Ikea (50 cents each) to go with the bath theme. I did up some little swing tags with instructions for mum. I've made up sixteen of these and I'm hoping they'll sell for about $5.00 each.

Here they are altogether, ready for the stall.

And this is what each one looks like when it's put together.
