Re: help with a new project! (hello again everyone)

Hi Lora, you won't get better advice than from Badpenny and Stuart. I couldn't begin to try. I expect you know of Tim Hunkin but if not, it's worth a look at http://www.underthepier.com as it might give some other ideas to chew on. P.S. my father used to quote "those whom the gods love die you...

Hi Lora, welcome back and a Happy New Christmas to you. A class of under five children eh? Does that mean there'll be four of them? Good job I'm not trusted with such projects anymore I'd be tempted to take in a bandit and rob their dinner money off them. I like your idea of vending their pictures ...
