My daughter just sent me this link... http://www.pebblesinmypocket.com/largeImage.cfm?product=21399 I really like them and I am thinking of doing a christmas pudding version of it to use as place settings on christmas day. I will cut a paper holly leaf and write the names on that. Just need to work out how to do the white sauce on it??

Hi, I've had a successful day craft shopping today, I found these for just £1 each in qs!

In red:


In Blue:


(Also available in Green) Just £1! :money: Thought you could jazz them up a bit if you like, I'm gonna add some sequins and glitter to mine.

I also bought this 15 x 15 inch box shadow frame from a charity shop for £7 (broke the glass on the way home so had to have it replaced for a further £2! Doh!):



It's going to look great with scrapbook paper and memorabilia inside!

Finally, I made this acetate personalised bookmark for my son today, he loves Spongebob, The Simpsons and playing Monopoly! Traced the designs, painted on the back, not quite finished yet!:

here we go, as promised

Socktails



Glasses from sainsburys - 99p for 4, roll a pair of socks into it, and add a straw and cocktail stirrer, and a cocktail brolly. i've got some lemon and lime slice re-usable ice cubes on mine (found them in the sainsburys summer sale). I've wrapped mine in cellophane, going to try to sell some at the sale on saturday, and if they dont sell, they can go to female relatives.



heres my reindeer too. again, trying to sell them at the sale, but if they dont sell, my little nephews will be getting them for xmas!!

i have finally made a start to my machbox advent callendars - well i have glued them together, stupidly tho i never took the drawers out when i glued the stacks together so i will have to get something to prise them open as i can no longer push the drawers from the opposite side of the box - so if anyone is making these - i have a tip lol take the drawers out!! i have paper and sparklies and stickers..... sorry peel off's (?!?) ready to go and some paint i picked up in poundland - can't wait to get stuck in although i really should be concentrating on stuff for my craft fair - oh well

Hi everyone,

I am trying to make up some cowgirl cookie jars as seen on this thread here somewhere. I got the instructions of how to assemble your contents in the jar but i think they are american. it says 1 cup of this and one cup of that. Does anyone know what size cup they mean (or have any other instructions - needs to be simple for me to follow :rotfl:) i am sure i am probably being blonde thats why i'm called dizzytina:D. any suggestions gratefully received. i am about to wrap some more hampers so i'll up load pics later.

It is an American measurement and you can get a set of measuring cups quite cheaply, about £2 for 6 cups. This might help or it might just confuse you more!.. http://www.miketodd.net/encyc/cooking.htm

I bought mine on ebay but since then i have seen them in pound shops clear suckers with hooks which can be removed
