Don't Forget, Mummy...


... It's Ella's birthday tomorrow, and you promised me you would make her a pencil case similar to mine.

Of course I didn't forget! I just like to do things at the last minute. Really!

  16. Needs a "Y" at the front and an "S" at the end and then a mirror :)
    And then you need to fill it with chocolate please.
    Oh, sorry...not my birthday :(
    I think Mummies deserve the gifts on offspring's birthdays . . . . after all... who did all the pushing?? So go get yourself some Chocolate Susan!

  26. It's good that this kind of last minute gifts are totally doable :) It's lovely and thank you for inspiration - I think I know now what to do with my beloved jeans dungarees that somehow must have...ekhem...shrunk.
