Hi Everyone

Just wanted to say thank you for all the ideas that you have shared on the thread. i'm a serial lurker and love reading through it everyday. I've been inspired by all of you and your ideas. i've even attempted a few of the things for my 2 dd's for christmas. There currently working there way through their homemade advent calenders (little treat pouches/sour cream containers strung together with ribbon). i've jus made them a fleece blanket each for their new dolls there getting at christmas, a sock monkey each and each person i buy a xmas gift has also got a sweetie bag with homemade gift tags.

Hope you all have a great christmas and hope theres a new thread next year (hopefully ill be a bit more active on the next one xxxx)

Well I have 6 more Christmas cheeky chickens to stuff with rice and I've just bought two The Snowman cross stitch kits to make little cards for DH and DS. I've a few more cross stitch cards to do too and have decided at the last minute to have a go at a Xmas Eve hamper after reading the thread - no pressure then
I love the Christmas Elf idea, but think I'll save that for next year now.

:santa2: Hi All, I have been reading like a maniac to catch up with your thread - and I know I'm a bit late for this year but I am gonna try to make some stuff before I run out of time. Anyone know how to squeeze more hours into the day. :eek:

Anywhoo the reason I'm posting is I have a link for you - it's not crafting but it is Christmassy. It's a personalised video message from Santa. http://portablenorthpole.tv/home
