I thought I would share with you some things I made last year but didn't take a proper photograph of (duh) so these are rubbishy shots from my mobile!!

A glass slide pendant for my friend featuring photographs of her two daughers:


A 48p index card organiser from Asda turned into a phone book:


Peronalised Candles and SnowGlobes with my children in:


No MSE'r would be complete without a few hampers:


A christmas book of all my favourite things that remind me of christmas:


I hope you can make out what anything is LOL.. Bought back memories of MSE'in last Christmas and being addicted to this part of the forum..

Somethings never change!!

Had a great morning - breakfast at mcdonalds (pancakes and sausage)(free with voucher husband got once for complaining) followed by madagascar at the cinema (free tickets from coke zone points) which was uncannily quiet and then we popped into asda for a cheap dvd player for the bedroom (so we can be even more lazy over the winter and so I can watch films in bed while DH plays xbox downstairs) and it was heaving, so nice to just be able to mill in and out no pressure.

Now we are finally going to finish wrapping all the presents this afternon while watching some christmas films.

Jammy did you get my post about envirophone?? a page back I think - I wonder if you missed it?

Love all your stuff mel - I wanna do candles like that next year - you'll have to post how you do them - they look like you bought them.

beautiful as always I want to make me a receipe book file thing but havent found an a5 file yet - like the phone book thingy!!

did you get your snowglobes from home and bargain? I stock piled them when I saw them in there for 99p!

Wish i could see the pendant a bit better...:( is it to hang somewhere??

is the christmas countdown book an accordion?? I have already decided how to do todays prompt! going to split my tiny page (i thought i had trouble with 8x8....6x4 is a nightmare!!) and make a folder like one of the ideas there...then stick lots of lovely memory type pics onto card, then write the story/journalling on the back, so I have room for lots of pics and stories!!

I am working reallyhard today...Im bored out of my tiny mind so you lot are keeping me sane when I pop on every half hour! its even worse because my OH is off work....and he hasnt had a Saturday off since May...and I'm blooming working! I need to swallow some self-motivation cookies!!!
