Finished Baskets - Part 2

OH is in bed so I took the opportunity to pack up his hampers for his birthday which is Monday.

Here is my top gear hamper ... please don't ask me to work out prices as I went well over budget on this one but I don't care cause he is quite down at the minute and worth every penny. (this is from the children)

and last but not least ... a small one for a friend of mine, I decided to reuse some of the packaging a couple of the bits came in and then add a couple of things to it. Not sure if it looks right but turned out better than I thought. Needed to be able to post it so it just made it a little easier.

Hi,

Just wanted to say that I have been a lurker on this board since September. At Christmas I made hampers for my family which went down really well. Thanks to the ideas I got from this thread.

The reason I am posting today is because: RUSTY FLANGE you are a true inspiration, you just never stop. You are a true diamond, thankyou for all the effort you put into this board. Your family and friends are very lucky to have you. You are just so thoughtful, and there must be alot of other Lurkers out there, that are grateful as well. So appreciation from me and everyone else that drops in for a nosey.

I look forward to seeing what comes next?

Oh and also Rainmac, thankyou as well.


Take Care and happy hampering. :T Hugs xxx

Make a book of vouchers for your OH to redeem - things like, I (mary) promise to sit through an F1 race without asking any silly questions, I promise to make you as many cups of tea as you ask for during one F1 race..
