Are Baker Ross and yellowmoon the same company?

They seem to sell the same things and have the same address, so are they the same people? And if so, why bother? Sorry, just curious! I buy lots from yellowmoon.

Yes, they are. Yellow Moon is used for fundraising by many schools etc.

Yes, they are the same. Baker Ross is cheaper than Yellow moon because YM give a percentage to your school etc. although I don't think they give as much money to the charity as you save by shopping with BR.

Thank you. Love my school ( the charity I've been using!) very much but would rather save a bit of cash right now!

My Baker Ross order came in a Yellow Moon box today, I thought it was a bit odd but I ordered via Amazon because I use EasyFundraising to raise money from shopping for a local charity, Baker Ross is not part of EF, Amazon is, so I just assumed I'd ordered from the wrong seller.

What were you buying?

I want to steal ideas Grin We've just got into the whole craft thing, I work outside of school hours and always feel bad for leaving them so now on my days off I have been doing arts and crafts and baking with them, but not being a naturally arty person I get stuck for ideas.

We've done paint your own unmbrella, they've just painted their own mugs and fridge magnets and I've ordered them a beginners knit your own bag and purse kit, what should we do after that?

Get the ceramic hearts, mine arrived today ( also ordered from amazon through BR and arrived in a .yellow moon box!) I regularly scout their clearance stuff and buy n advance for Easter , Christmas etc. my DCs are 3 and 6 - they like all the scratch art stuff and we have bought the ceramic paint pens and various bits and bobs to paint from the sale.

Love the deco art stuff as well. Made some fab Christmas decorations.

Used the masks for school, and get a lot of the colour in cards etc. oh, and also the co,lured bags.

Does that help? Wink

Ceramic hearts, dd1 would love those and we've just got the paint pens. Lovely thank you. I've been looking at some of the Easter clearance stuff, but I never thought to order Christmas stuff now while it's cheap.
