Following on from my holiday themed hamper for my sister I stumbled across this adorable DIY Ice cream parlour, she loves putting out ice cream and all the sweetie toppings when we go for tea so this would be amazingly beautiful. Will have to cost it out as it is looking very probable at the moment I'm in love :j

stardrops - sorry, no piccys Don't have all the techie stuff to do it............:rotfl:
You'll have to use your imagination................:rotfl: Made another coaster calendar this morning plus five (or was it six?) post it key rings...........rang out of half way decent card and key rings and ribbon and most things...........shopping tomorrow I think:rotfl:
Must enquire about hole punchers..........I've only got one, the sort for ring binders and it's awkward to get the hole in the right place

Had to re-glue sons 'pebbles'............the drum badge and the 'bryn rocks' sign fell off:mad: Done it again and seems dry enough so I've put it a box I'd covered with music paper and hope it stays intact (got to be posted !!) Put a note in with it explaining what to do if it all falls apart.................lol :rotfl:

I was chuffed yesterday when I went to Boyes. I'd bought two little cocktail tree decorations from Matalan a while ago, and have been looking for anything similar online since then but couldn't find anything cocktail related at all, but in there they had loads of little plastic martini type glasses with the wedding favours for only 16p for clear or 20p for gold. I got 4 clear ones, and am going to get some little red beads, and put them on cocktail sticks as cherry decorations, then tie a little bit of ribbon round and hang them on my girly pink tree :rotfl:

Evening all,

Have been a bit more productive today. Got a few bits for inside the reindeers - Do you think they look ok?
Also made a start on the Pots of Gold. Have painted the stars on the glass pots, will probably use clear cellophane as the coins etc inside will be gold. With gold ribbon and the tags with the rhyme on.
Just wondered what you guys thought as they are my first attempt?



Also wanted to ask if anyone could recommend a shop or ebay seller for cellophane?

Thanks LMMS

They look lovely!! I love the little soaps, where do you get them from? Be something I could make for the uni girls without breaking the bank.

(I also peeked at your bike nappy cake, it's wonderful!! I doubt i'll be making a similar one, looks a bit complicated for me)
