I never got to make any of the stuff - partly because my mother knew I had
the artistic ability of a dead frog, and partly because I had (and still
have) no attention span (outside of reading which I could do for hours from
as soon as I was old enough) and would have left the resulting mess half
finished.

Art classes were a nightmare for me - while I have very little artistic
talent, I am a total perfectionist. The two combined result in immense
frustration and temper tantrums whenever I had art homework. *shudders in
memory* But I did used to like watching the things they made on Blue Peter.

I'd forgotten the appeals though - I remember a couple of Bring and Buys
done for Blue Peter appeals.
