Stop posting all these lovely links because ill never get ll these crafts done in time for Christmas 2009!!!!!!!!!!:D I do love these boxes though - Im thinking these would be lovely for my little boys school teachers with some home made truffles or home made peppermint creams in.

She Grinch - Jack Skelliington a popular mascot with emos and teens [l/QUOTE] *ahem* I am like the biggest jack skellington fan in the word - I love him to the point i have a tattoo planned of him! :eek: and Im neither an emo or a teen! although i did have a gothic phase when i was younger (she says at 24)

Oh i'm loving all of these things. I want to make everything. I have a file now on my computer of links for Christmas and its only march - i told my friend yesterday i was Xmas present planning and have been known as a freak ever since.

aw shes beautiful mrs m

i know i stopped in here after my nonny mouse addiction and now am feeding my boys with the hope they are off to grandmas house about lunchtime then i can finish the few stitches on my nans birthday card and should be able to do the gift tag easily so think ill move onto the bookmark after that - will try and find boyfriends camera charger so i can get it online to show you once its done

my list of things is getting longer but ive just found a nice book of cross stitched things so may get that off ebay. im loving the reindeer in the bauble you did still though - any chance i could get a copy of it??? or a very close up picture of the chart that i could then print???

sorry but yet another cute idea for wrapping things. I like this - and like they say i guess its a cute way to disguise distinctively shaped gifts too.

You're not alone Sammy. I loooooove Jack and Sally, I'm 32 and am not an emo or a goth (though my eldest calls me a fluffy goth! :rotfl:) My Jack coin purse is on the verge of collapse and has two big holes in the bottom where it has worn away but I refuse to replace him

Lol I had a jack skellington purse and he fell apart - my friend found a load of jack and sally decorations last Christmas on line and was going to buy me them for my christmas tree but boyfriend said he refused point blank to have a gothic tree which i was a bit upset by so we had traditional red and gold but think this year i might get a small black tree and put it in my bedroom seeing as boyfriend is looking to remove all his c@@p from that room so it will be redecorate and i think jack will look nice there - although my boyfriend is a whimp and hates scary films (so do i ) but i think it might give him a few sleepless nights.

I have a 6 ft black tree!! AND red and gold decorations!!! I wanted Jack decorations or at the very least an Alice Cooper fairy on the top but OH put his foot down at that! :D So I just have loads of various wicker and glass stars all over it.

sounds pretty

yeah as much as i love jack skellington i love my traditional stuff to and im such a Christmas freak that either way as long as im celebrating it doesn't bother me but i always take the 25th of each month as my day, no housework or cleaning its purely a crafting day so i can get some Christmas bits and pieces done with a few good Christmas films on and a hot choccie and im happy.

really think i should start doing that again - can have a day for just competitions/freebie hunting to be done too because im determined to win something towards Christmas this year.
