Love the tea cosy! What fun. I'm sure the recipient will love it!!

My Christmas plans have been thrown of course this week with the arrival of a new Grandson on Sunday. The best Christmas gift any family could receive!!!!

Oh by the way..if you look closely you will see that the brown leather chairs either side of the table have clear plastic caps on the backs. This is because they were marking the cream paint in the kitchen where they rubbed up the wall.

Just thought I'd post a quick piccie of my candy wreath. Never made one before, but really pleased with the results. (not sure how to do pictures, so hope this OK???)

Well I failed to find any cellophane bags like I wanted so have bought some cellophane and made some up myself for the 'perfect man', people at work seem to really like them. Also made up some 'present not included' things with 2 batteries wrapped in cellophane with a tag and some of the p.e.n.c.i.ls, with them stuck onto a card with the funny information on. I have loads of marshmallows from my snowman soups so will be making some snowman poop bags up later too! Phew, hard work all this crafting!

angelkay - love your advent calendars - i found these too late this year but they're definately on my list for next year.

Le Foot - how cute is that robin.

wanna-b-rich - what LJM said :rotfl:



Still to make:

1. my handout Christmas cards
2. lp bowl for my sis as part of her pressie (she's music crazy and found an lp in the charity shop for a band that she loathes for 50p so thought that would be appropriate )
3. some sort of pamper box for the girl i work with (she's always running about after people and needs "me" time badly)
4. orange and cinnamon soap
5. sweets for family and Christmas dinner

HELP :eek::eek::eek:
