They are cute.
Think I might make some of them to go in with my nans present - she is an avid tea drinker (fruit teas) and then that way I know we are thinking of each other.

Hi Irishgirl

I think this book is sooooo beautiful and would love to make one(well try anyway:rolleyes:) for my mums birthday:D Can I be cheeky and ask where you got the little book from that you used. I can't seem to find one Went to hobbycraft today and didn't see anything like it. Thanks in advance:D

Thanks...I made it from scratch using my sizzix to cut out the tags for the pages and bound it with wires using my BIA but you could use book rings and a square notebook and decorate it with ribbons etc

I've just bought a great present for a doting parent which I'm sure somebody could copy for pennies, I'm reluctant to post a picture as it's someone's commercial idea but I'll describe it. Apols if someone's done this before, I couldn't find anything on searching.

It's a plaque thing for easily displaying the pictures a little child's brought home from Nursery/ school. And it cost me £8.50!!!!

Small painted mdf plaque (about 5" square) with a brass hanging eyelet
thing screwed on so that it would hang from a nail or a picture hook.
A wooden clothes peg is glued on, bottom centre and above the peg it says 'This week's masterpiece'. Plaque is decorated and could be personalised I suppose.

Is that a good enough description?

I LOVE these:D I have decided to do a few "tea time" hampers this xmas and use these little tea bag books as tags. I am wanting to put a little spotty teapot in the hampers, does anyone know where I can find some at a reasonable priceall the ones I've seen are quite expensive
