rusty - that's brilliant !!!:T Beginning to wish I'd done one of them.

Well, got bit further...........oh I do fiddle about............:rotfl: Decided on stripey one for grandson - eventually got the ribbons to tie ok (its a sort of rust/cream/beige/black stripey paper so I used rust and cream ribbon.
Got some letters from the craft shop in those colours but couldn't make out 'busy' in same colour so thats mixed colours (OH's idea !-I'm not sure) and put nuts and blts men piccys -one is sat at computer, other one is taking a hammer to it (know the feeling...........lol) On the other side I've put his name..........managed to get all the same colours for that and stuck them on a length of rust colour ribbon as the letters were cream and wouldn't have stood out very well.Looks quite smart -now not sure what to put on the side where his name is...........piccy's of some sort but don't know what -might have to delve into the 'nuts and bolts men' site again.................lol

I'm that thrilled with them - rainmac - thankyou -I'd never have done them if you hadn't started it off.........I know I cursed (oh how I cursed) but not any more................ll loving it............and got another three to finish and one I aint even started on yet for baby grandson.................:j

So pleased that you are so pleased with them I think it's great we are making pressies. Just hope they are appreciated

Great hanger Rusty, I'd thought of doing one like that but have gone for a cammo one instead;)

Welllllll, you know those rub ons you posted? I bought 2 of the large size, 2 of the medium size and 5 of the small size in different colours, a rub on tool, some lacing brads, metal index tabs, 5 different Daisy Bucket small stick on stamps, a set of 8 Tia Bennett Doodle Baby stick on stamps and a sheet of Cloud9design Sorbet Sparkle cardstock......................am now a massive fan of Cloud9design!

I looked at UK prices and went for the average price of things (only looked up stuff quickly mind), the total came to £52.69. Including shipping (which looked quite high) I paid £28.39.

That all sounds so fab savvy and so much cheaper than UK prices :j Cloud9 stuff is really great isn't it. Ohhhh, I need to win the lottery...

So much so, after looking around UK online suppliers and not finding much choice at all.................I've gone back to the same site and ordered quite a bit off them again cos they have so much more choice

Ah I got most of my order in the 90% off clearance section, and when I went back again yesterday there wasn't much there, there were some good 75% off offers still though, but you really have to weigh up to see if it's worth for you. For me it was worth going back as they had a much better selection of Cloud9 in the 50% off section than I'd seen on UK sites

Anyway it may be a site to check out in future when they have more clearance offers, especially when they take off 90%!!! :T peekintoyesterday.com

Oh and forget to remind you ^^^^^ keep your parcel under £18 in value so that customs don't add on more money :rolleyes:;)

Put a few finishing touches to teenage grandsons door hanger this afternoon and OH decided to remark that the ribbon on it looked a bit 'girlie'............!! I was that miffed -I thought I looked ok. He reckoned I ought to not have anything tied on it at all but needs must to cover a few ragged edges. Apart from brown shoe laces I can't think of anything else to use.
Anyone got any alternative ideas ?
