Kermese 2011

It was the school Kermese, which is the school fund raiser and lunch, last year the 

menus were so bad that this year I decided to make them myself. I also 

volunteered to do the face-painting and made chocolate popsicles to sell, which 

came out really nice but I forgot to photograph them.
