Sally they are beautiful, I made those in advent made 96 of them with dates on each of them for my kids last year and they loved it!

irishgirl - love the bag...........have you got a template for that ? It's such a love shape. All my little gift bags are oblong or square........:rolleyes:

scottishchick - that is brilliant ! :T Don't think I'd have the patience to have a go at it though.............

Feel I've had a bit of a ''nothing' morning........all I did was make a key ring post it holder to match one of the cheap diaries I'd covered, but it in a little gift bag I made, did another couple of gift bags for other bits and that was that !
Oh...........did have a go at the snowman/tic tac thingy.......don't think my card was thick enough =looks ok but could be better.Might help if I had right sort of hold puncher instead of messing about with scissors. I drew the snowman on the front. Been trying to use my offcuts of card up........no red left so next attempts will be in black and green (I think)

Mary, I don't have a template for it, but I could draw round it and email it to you?
scottish chick that is fab!!

scottishchick that is fabulous ..........what kind of paint did you use

My DS is not allowed sweets and this would be a perfect alternative to the chocolate ones

Thought this might be a nice idea to make for the little ones on christmas eve.
This one looks lovely in fabric, but thought it would be easy enough to draw one up on the computer, print off and laminate
