I had this wonderful idea to make a craft for my family overseas - something to teach my little niece about her family living away and add a little bit of fun to meal times. It was a place mat with photos of all of us on it for her to cherish, and maybe keep her busy as she mashes her peas onto our faces!

Before I could even break out the glue, I was so excited to find these great new products on the market. I feared my placemat project was a little too ambitious after all. Let's face it my crafty idea would have probably ended up in the back of the kitchen drawer anyway!
