SATs Stars 2018 - How To Get Your Hands on One

So, as we explained in this blog post we have just moved house and our home and studio is a building site:



This has had a significant impact on how we can operate our SATs Star Project this year. On the one hand, we want to support as many children as possible. On the other, we don't want to promise what we can't deliver and leave people disappointed, that would be awful.

After much head scratching some mentoring and lots of talking it over, we have bad news and good about how we plan to move forwards with the SATs Star Project in 2018:

The Bad News:

I will get this out of the way first. Unfortunately we are not in a position to sell any SATs plush stars in the way that we did in prior years. We do intend to do it again in 2019, and I know this will be disappointing to some whose children will miss out this year. However, we do not have the facility at this very moment to get these reliably made, and it would be unfair for us to promise it. It's very important to us that we keep our word. Rather than let people down at a stressful time, we decided it was better so say we would not make any plush stars this year.

The Good News:

We are offering two different solutions for those of you who wish to send love and luck to the children taking their SATs in 2018.

1) We are selling a boblet wristband, with a typed, personalised letter of good luck for each child. There are 6 designs to choose from:



You Are A Super Star

An Angel Feather For Good Luck Boblet

You're a Legend Mermaid Boblet

Playing To Win - Pac Man


You Are A Super Hero

You Are A Magical Unicorn



These cost £4 each, with free shipping, and can be bought from our Etsy Shop:
www.mrsbeesemporium.etsy.com 

OR our Amazon shop, for those of you who prefer Amazon:

2) The other option is that you make your own SATs Star plush. We have written a tutorial, a pattern and guidance for writing a good letter of encouragement. This can be instantly downloaded from our Etsy shop. We are happy to provide online support, if you need it.

(unfortunately we can sell the instant pattern via Amazon at this time)

The SATs Star Project is a not-for-profit project and we will donate 20% of all income from it to Young Minds, the children's mental health charity.


I hope you understand our decision this year, and we hope to be able to support as many young people as we can through this years SATs. We love writing the letters!

With love,
