The Thrifty Gifty Girls 2009 (Organised & Money Neutral for All Occasions) #3

I use ink for a nice crisp image I find that pens kind of give a mottled effect. Try some of the Studio G stamp sets for 99p or the Papermania clear stamps.

Rusty, I am going to find loads of projects to do for the next Rudolph day and you can take part or not. QVC has got nothing to do with it but I thought it would be nice to watch something Christmassy on TV whilst crafting. Some of my projects include fabric. You decide what you want to get though! Got to be thrifty

Did I really explain it that badly!!!

I've got all last years christmas craft stuff that I didn't use . I have xmassy fabric from several years ago that I've just remembered is in the conservatory

I couldn't be bothered to make cards for everyone as I know that lots of people I send them to don't appreciate them .

Not sure about crafting gifts but will draw up a list before next rudolph day - wonder who would like a bag lady bag...............:rotfl:

Hi plml & all
Crafting sounds great - if you give a deadline I might actually manage to finish something:)
I have good ideas, good intentions but not a good work rate - I'm afraid thinking about doing something or reading about it is as far as I get:)
I will improve - I wiil I will I will

Never heard of them :rotfl: What pens would I need? and where can I get studio G stamp set?

Oooooh what kind of fabric do I need to get? I know you say we can decide but I need to know what it is for :rotfl: otherwise I wont be able to buy any til I know!

No you didn't explain it really badly, sorry. It is still early! :rotfl:

I actually managed to get a sealed tin at last lol, its only a small one though so I am going to put £2 coins in. First went in last night, just have to make sure I hide it or the others will be going at it with a knife when I'm not looking.

I'm up for a bit of sewing PLM, still have loads of knitting and sewing to do but a bit more wouldnt go a miss, would keep me busy anyway.

Flanger just forget fabric, you can make your things out of bloomin nappies or something. Pens for stamping = Bad IMO but what do I know. Get a Staz-On ink pad. Expensive at around 6 pounds but mine has lasted me forever, it produces colour-fast crisp beautiful images, and it smells of almonds that get you off your face if you sniff them too much.

CBSEXEC I Am absolutely rubbish at getting anything done, might have something to do with this thread *ahem* all will be revealed in may.. Stay tuned.. DUM DUM DUM

Aurora Enjoy your work xx I hope it's nothing toooo boring xx

Paddy How many bags have you made so far for my challenge? It is going to make an awesome picture to see them all
