  • our sale went really well,
    we could have sold the snowman soup 20 times over, the 'pints' of socks went quickly too, as did the magic reindeer food
    and we took orders for more of these items and a few nappy cakes (everyone was impressed by them)
    i was so proud that we sold some cards too, ive never sold a card to anyone but family before, so it was a real sense of acheivement to see the first ones go

    just read threads and what about only using one cone but putting choc and marshmallows in a small bag on top , to keep costs down.

    I've just finished 6 today! Not the best photos though. I could only think of flakes crumbled up to add to mine. The crumbs fell down the sides a bit, but they look good still!

    Well done you :T I'm thinking about maybe doing a couple of Xmas stalls next year - long build up I know but too much going on this year to be able to sort anything out.

    Has anyone else not used plain cello bags for the snowman soup? Not sure i trust the ebay seller with all their neg feedback yesterday, so tempted to make my own but only have spotted cellophane. Do you think this would look OK.

    To the people only using one cone, has the separate layers stayed separate or have they moved around at all?

    Thanks
    2016 is the year I am going to find time for me, and cherish the time I spend with my friends and family.
    It is also time to save - Aim £4,000 - So far this year - £230/£4,000

    spotted cellophane would look nice I am sure - it is snow from a distance isn't it? :)
