Well I don’t know who it was but they’re wrong. This grandma is living proof. I am now the proud owner of a helicopter, no, I haven’t taken flying lessons I’ve been constructing one… don’t believe me huh… well take a look…
I also made a fish, don’t ask…
a Necklace & bracelet,
a Spider ugh!!,
an a couple of key rings, which I can't show you 'cause my mate nicked them.
Yep, crazy I know, but these Scoubidou’s (the latest craze to hit the UK) are a parents dream and I’m very happy to accommodate them ‘cause they have kept two of my granddaughters amused all weekend…no mean feat I can tell you.
Who would have thought a local craze from small town in France (yup, I did a search an that’s where Scoubidou’s originally came from) would have ended up being my saviour. Mind you I’m not as green as I cabbage looking (apologies to cabbages everywhere) see, I remember them from the first time round in the 80’s when my daughter was mad about them.
Now my daughter first put them on her site Absolute Nails as a way for her customers to keep their kids amused making fun jewellery while they got on with the serious business of doing their nails. Then my granddaughter told her they were the best thing since sliced bread & begged for her own.
Well one thing led to another & suddenly she had a best seller on her hand. So,my granddaughters came round on Friday to show me how clever they were with this exciting new toy & I knocked their socks off with my expertise. As a result, the little darlings were spellbound with awe at their enormously talented grandma… So… I’m devious… so what…I need an edge to keep up nowadays.
Anyway, here’s a couple of tips if you’re thinking of getting them. Make sure you get the genuine Scoubidou cord, not those fashion laces/strings thingies. Because they’re a lot thinner & a bit jellified, which means they stretch & sometimes break if you pull them too hard.
I know there’re a lot of sites out there selling them but, Absolute Nails is the only one I can recommend as selling the genuine article. It’s a very good site & fast delivery. She also has them on her Absolute Nails Shop at Ebay. Blatent advertizing or wot? I know... I know... But you don't have to buy them & she is my daughter ;-)
Oh & one last thing there’s even a secrete language for the bracelets, here's a few to be going on with, I'll put a bigger list on my site when I get time.

Hey thats a cool toy . The only problem I see is that if a girl gives one to her boyfriend and its pink, she is calling him babe and he has to wear a pink braclet if her wants to keep her. Tough choice. lol
ReplyDeleteHey Walker, I did say it's not a complete list, she sends a Blue & Purple for boyfriend. So, tell yours to get weaving. You're quite safe, nobody is going to make you wear pink.LOL
ReplyDeleteI don't see Sara doing that somehow. I'll stick to getting cheese cake . LOL
ReplyDeleteWhatever turns you on walker, if cheese cake does it for you, go for it. IMAO
ReplyDeleteHmm, that looks kinda fun, if I could pronounce the name for it lol I'm off to check out your daughter's site...I'm hoping it's easier to construct than cheesecake. Gotta be fewer calories anyway lol
ReplyDeleteGo grandma!
Hey Sara, how ya doin?
ReplyDeleteScoubidou is pronounced as in the dog cartoon 'scoobie doobi doo, where are you we got...' remember? Have fun & it's easy as pie, not sure about cheesecake though.LOL
WoW Howdy, what a long comment. Thanks for dropping by. It'll probably take me a week to digest it an' work out what you actually said. Put it down to my senior moments. LOL
ReplyDeleteDang I may loose my cheese cake
ReplyDeleteI've never heard of this - looks like fun!
ReplyDeleteHey Claire, it is but, you have to watch out you don't get tied up by the kids. They run rings around me.
