PLEASE READ: Facebook has changed Notifications for groups again. They have automatically switched members of most groups to receive Highlights instead of All Posts. This means that you will only see about one in ten posts on the groups you’re in!! You are missing out on good stuff in your groups To change these settings..... 1. Please go to notifications(click the 3 dots on the top right of the group home page). 2. Change your settings from Highlights to All Posts. You’ll need to do this for all the Facebook groups that you’re in if you still want to see the content.

This is what you can do with a little creativity and a quickut paring knife! (Credit goes to my Aunt Gayle Wilcox, she made this for a Sylas’ shark themed 5th birthday).
