I bought the Womans Weekly Christmas Special Mag yesterday and its great! Its packed full of crafts and cookery- some fab sweets to make for gifts including coconut ice and honeycomb, a lovely choker necklace, some cute cross stitched tree decorations and much more.....

I also bought the Ideal Home mag which is also fab... I love these Christmas mags they really cheer me up and have me scribbling ideas down in my notebook!

Fab pencils irishgirl, they look really professional.

Didnt know whether to post this here or on the nappy cake thread. But seeing as its christmas themed, i thought it might be of idea for others.
Id left over red cupcake cases from making boy/girl sock cupcakes- so i decided to have a go at christmas themed ones, if all else fails i can donate them to charity shop before christmas.

Super....look good enough to eat!!!:rotfl:

Following on from this idea was thinking lollipops could be used for the angel head for little ones rather than the ferrero rocher which children may not like.

I've just completed a 3-month test of these candles and will be making some for presents for my friends and family as well as selling them online. They are heavily scented and have a special wooden wick which crackles when you burn them.



A video can be seen (and heard) here.

Just wondered what you think of them?

I abosolutely love this as will your family and friends. Do you mind me asking how you did it? Have 5 sisters who love candles!

Just thought, if you have made them to sell as well I will not take offence if you can't give how to's

Love that pencil too and would also love the pdf of that irishgirl Thank you.
