    You need to copy the link from individual photos. There will be a link under the photo you want which starts with [img]- that's the one you need to copy into your post :)[/img]

    That's what I did :confused: the img one

    Have now figured it out - still need to resize pics but some progress at least!

    Tried to post my hamper pics on pics thread but obviously haven't got it quite right as the link goes to my Photobucket folder showing 3 hampers :mad:.:mad: Thought I had followed RustyFlange's instructions :o

    Anyone tell me where I went wrong?
    what i did was click on the little mountain picture its at the top of the reply box. this opens another little box. then copy the picture location into the box.

    Hello,I'm doing a few hampers for the 1st time this christmas after seeing all the beautiful hampers.I'm hoping that someone could help me think up a theme for a joint hamper for my mil and fil.
    They are v practical people and have every useful item known to mankind!They do not smoke and only drink at special occasions.They are v v homely people and although they watch documentaries and old films,I wouldn't have a clue,what they are 'into' film wise.They do like tea!!!So I suppose i could go along this theme?Mil is constantly on a diet,so I don't want to buy too many food treats.Fil likes vintage cars and trains and mil likes cross stitching.Hhhmmm.Any ideas anybody please?Ta

    I'm stumped!!Anybody got any funky ideas please?If I was to do a hobbies hamper,would that bring it all together perhaps?I was veering towards the tea side but mil gave me a tea strainer the other day so she obvi has surplus (as normal!lol)

    What about a winter night in hamper. You could buy some hobby magazines for your FIL and a small cross stitch pack for your MIL. Maybe a nice fleecy blanket, some new mugs, posh biscuits and tea etc.
  • Ooooh now that sounds much more like their kinda thing!!!Thank you so much!Do you think they do a poem for a winters hamper on the other thread,as I want to put it on the tag?Off to have a look.Just had a thought too.Mil does drink a baileys at christmas so I could put a mini in for her as a special treat.I'm excited now!:beer:

    Hi,

    Im really interested in doing a baby basket for my sister.

    Where do you buy your cellophane and baskets from ?

    Thanks

  • Sellophane, You can buy it from a local florist or on ebay.

    Baskets can vary but Poundstretchers or Instore are a good place to try
