    Wow I love that sweet bouquet, it has given me an idea what to do with my mums hamper. I have made it but I was not happy with it and ended up buying her some more choc to go in it, just a cheap pound selection box nothing special.

    I asked her what she wanted and she wants a lot, which I cnt give her so I am going to have to make the hamper look better than it is.

    Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr there is always one.lol

    I thought that as well. Will give that one to my free spirited niece. She is very open minded.:rotfl:

    Aw! I love it :) They're very cute, I wish I had a B&M near me so I could give them to my friends.

    Ha - I did these and noticed the bow - and was tempted to nibble it off! But i left it and placed the tag so that it could not be seen. :)
