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

Put a photo (kids, pet, other) and a yearly calendar back to back and laminate in a wallet sized laminating pouch, for a lovely little stocking filler.

Me too definitely - in January I reckon. I love your Snowman advent. Have you all seen the £5 wooden ones in Tescos? I've bought some of those to alter. Got 3 for the girls and picked another up for me today as am not allowed to do a spooky christmas for them

I was thinking of getting my daughter (11) to write a poem for my family, then getting all 3 of my kids to do a hand print at the bottom and then frame it

How long do the marshmallows last in the snowman soup's? Thinking of making some today but don't want the marshmallow's to be stale by the time I hand them out!

Not having a good day here - not only can I not find the Go go hamsters for my daughters but after reading the thread last night I went shopping for some flannels for reindeer, chocolate chips, marshmallows, candy canes and some nice mugs for snowman soup, oh yes and fluffy socks for my daughter's friends for sock cupcakes.

After trawling round town and then Asda, Tesco, Matalan, and the Factory shop, for the above things I have still yet to find the flannels or candy canes. Can some one help and tell me where they found theirs! Boots had a couple of flannels but pink and over £1 each.

Thanks

i am amazed you didnt get flannels in tesco??
i got my flannels there... and candy canes are everywhere... every supermarket, range etc... i hope you find some! where you live there must be alot of people crafting! here in cornwall there is plenty of stock! haha

You can usually find the candy canes in Poundland or similar type shops

Morrisons and the Range also have the candy canes
