my grandad (in his 60's too) also uses cossack. i remember the over powering smell and the huge amount of fumes from him using LOADS at a time!

Hello Everyone!

I have started to get more and more into crafts over the last few months and I have been so impressed at all the things you have been producing. For Christmas I would like to invest in a few good items of equipment to take my crafting a bit further and I wondered if you could give me some advice as to the bits and pieces I should ask for. Thank you!

I'd like more information as to what the things are that punch out shapes that can then be used as lid toppers and labels.

Is that clear at all? scallop shapes, or so on...

clear as mud.

it would depend on what style you like.. for me I love my circle punches i have them from 1" to 3" cos i can print out and hover my circle punch over it to cut it out as I am not really good at stamping

I'm looking for cinnamon sticks to make some tree decorations and also to make pot pourri presents - all i have found so far is the schwartz ones in supermarkets but only 5 in a jar, does anyone know where i can buy a larger quantity at a good price?

Thank you!!!

We were in B&Q tonight, one of the larger stores and in the christmas decoration section they had bags of cinnamon sticks for £2.98 I tried to count how many sticks there were and it was 30 + and they were 3-4 inch long.

http://computerchristmas.com/christmas/link-how_to/HowToId-14/LowLimit-0 check out these candy canes. I have bought some white pipe tonight for my husband to bend some for me, my pipe is a little thicker so hope it works!. I then plan to mask it in a spiral design and spray it red. I am going to buy 2 sets solar powered fairy lights and wrap 1 set round each cane for me. They will then be secured outside at the side of our steps.
