Crafting for Christmas 2009, let's begin again.......

Just hit on little idea that cost next to nothing...........I'd got some pebbles from years back in a bowl..........took three out and used some stick on letters I'd got to put on each one so they now say 'smile', 'laugh', 'be happy'
Just one on each...........not all three words on one.............lol Makes a cheapy gap filler for teenage grandkids.
Was going to try and paint it on but don't think it'd look much good............and this way was quicker.........lol:rotfl:

Hello all you extremly organised ladies! I have been trying to read through this thread all day, I started at the end then decided to start at the begining, I almost choked when I realised it was started on boxing day 08!!!! Hee hee, well I can't knit or sew really but I love paper craft and scrapbooking and really want to make a few special gifts this year. It will be my first christmas with my son alone and I am determined to make it extremly special and memorable for us both. I want to make his some handmade gifts as I can't afford to spend hundreds, I have already bought and wrapped £50 worth of pressies for him so the rest will be crafted. I will be making the snowman soups as pressies for all my friends along with the loo rolls! Anyway I just wanted to say hiya, i'm going back to trawl the thread for ideas xx

I know what you mean about the socks;) The good thing about the dammit dolls is that they are so quick to make, I can see me having loads of them by xmas:D
