  • Well I sat up until 2 am this morning finishing things off and wrapping in cellophane and I have to say it all looks pretty good (and there seems to be a lot of it!). Finally finished the 'Reasons to be cheerful' mini book for my Dad and using the 'facewarp' programme on my phone I printed some silly pics of my grandad which I made into a mini flip chart. Then there seemed to be an awful lot of wrapping to do! Just wish I could will the pictures of the hampers from my phone to the computer for you all to see, thanks for all the help and advice and ideas, couldn't have done it without you!

    I hope everyone has a wonderful Christmas
    God bless x

    Just wanted to wish everyone a merry christmas and to say thank you all so much for the inspiration but as someone else said 'not the obsession'!!! LOL!! I still have hampers to wrap - I'm dreaming about hampers now!! but thats because they're the food hampers so can't really do them til last minute really and I'm staggering doing them as I'm seeing people on different days from now til the 3rd Jan!!! Will post more photos when they're done - quite pleased with them especially my homemade chutney - will definitely be making that next year!! Anyway thanks again everyone!! Have really enjoyed putting more thought into my pressies this year and the people I've given them to so far (even tho they haven't opened them yet!!) have been really pleased with the effort I've gone to so really worth it!!

    MERRY CHRISTMAS :j :rotfl: :j :beer: :j :rotfl: :j

    maria - what a christmas eve basket !!!!Lots of stuff!

    Hat box looks brilliant - don't know why I didn't think of that.........I've got about 5 0f them I had from charity shops and didn't use them as by the time everything was inside the lid wouldn't go on............didn't think of using cellophane................typical me ! Thats an idea for next year:j
    Mary

    I'm creative -you can't expect me to be neat too !
