Recently I got carried away late at night and purchased a mailorder kit from Angry Chicken. When it came a few weeks back I was intrigued by the reference to spending the funny money that one could collect with each mailorder purchase. I'm a bit of a sucker for collecting tokens. They used to print them on Huggies nappies (little hippos) and I cut them all out and saved them, but I never did find out what they were for.
I think it was the phrase 'funny money' that really tickled me. So, it's Summer Fete time at Marks school, and the PTA have planned a list of stalls and activities as long as your arm, but there's the question of prizes. And it came to me, like a Bloglines entry, 'Funny Money'! So last night I designed, cut, pasted and laminated a whole wad and hopefully some happy kiddies will get to spend it at the fete. Thanks for the idea Amy.

Hi Ali, the fish fabric is great, isn't it? I've got three boys and I have to admit that in terms of fabric choices it would be much easier to have girls... so many more to choose from!! I love your calendar, and the funny money ideas is super too. If I may I'll suggest it at out next school fete. Super. I know what you mean about the summer holiday... I'm sewing furiously not because I know I'll have to have a forced break for about two months soon!
take care,
Monica
