    At last! Made 22 pots of gold yesterday and have wrapped them in cello wrap - can't finish them yet as am waiting for the gold ribbon I ordered and i haven't made the poem tags. Still, it feels good to have the bulk of the work out of the way, and now they're all sealed up I can't eat the chocolate.

  • I went into my local pdsa charity shop and bought 6 sundae glasses for £3.50 - they're really nice looking :) Plus I like giving to animal charities, so it was win-win for me. I'm really pleased with them ^.^
    Now to find the chocolate to fill them (and order the cellophane - which requires me updating my address with my bank, so I can change my paypal address D: )

    I buy my cellophane from the florist, if you've got one nearby. It's not very expensive.

    Our local florist quite happily sells cellophane by the metre, infact they have rolls, all designs in the shop window with £1 per metre sign on them.
