my birthday is 24th July i'll be 23 :O:O
oOo your birthday is the same day as my anniversary - I got married 7th June 2008

That is a very good challenge I might make one like that QueenBee... How have you planned to do the bags? My nan runs a scout hut with a charity shop upstairs and I would love to raise some money for the Scouts.. maybe enough to buy them all presents and dress Lee up as father Christmas

Chillin Nutta me and Lee will have been together 6 years on the 6th June but my wedding anniversary is 31st October How many cards are you challenging yourself to make? You have set yourself up now!!

This is probably going to ruin the thread size so apologies in advance. Here are a few things I have planned to make.. I LOVE the handwarmers:

Okay i will follow QueenBee's lead:

Christmas Challenge:
Make various craft items for the Village Hall Christmas Fayre (although maybe not all in a month :rotfl:)

I want to have a go at making different craft items but not on the same stall as knowing me it would look like a junk stall lmao

PS love the ideas for Christmas

Glad you're feeling better Mel

I'm doing my dad a little hamper for Fathers Day. I got 3 copies of FourFourTwo mag and 3 copies of a digital camera one for £6 (and for some reason got £12 cashback from Quidco!! :T :rotfl:) Then i'm just going to put him a couple of bottles of Cider (unusual ones if I can find them) some small packets of posh tea and coffee, some nice biscuits and some dark chocolates. Don't want to spend more than £20 really. Oh and i'm going to try and make him a card

Welcome back Mel............glad you're feeling better.

I've been out today in the blustery wind..........intended getting some photocopying done and I'd taken the wrong folder:eek:
Still, got glue to try and mend leatherette box, musical wrapping paper to cover a couple more shoe boxes I got, some slime for my Santa's snot ad the I set to and finished off my mug cosy..................lol Cut a mug shape out of card and put inside otherwise my son won't have a clue what it is..........:rotfl:

So -tomorrow I'll cover the shoe boxes and hopefully mend the leatherette one..............:j Thats the plan at the minte anyway

Oh no - have just realised 25th May not that far away!!! Get sorry RRRRssss in gear!!

Did some last year - bought little organza bags from ebay but will just use plastic self seal bags this year....also did Santa's Credit Crunch Pressies - Snowman Poo Reindeer Poo and Christmas Fairy Poo ....went down very well with the kids!!

Am young at heart but the big 40 is creeping up in the next couple of years - NOOOOOOOO have just had to sit down at the shock of seeing it written down! Been married 9 years this August and have 2 little ones - Elise 5 and Joshua 2 and half.....on career break at mo but seem so much busier than when I was at work!! Often feel like asking for my P45 for my stay at home mum job but then a sticky hand tugs me away to see a latest creation and suddenly it's the best job in the world!! Have made nappy cakes for family and friends and had my first 'proper' order this week!! Yay!:T

JordanShannon

Love the name Elise, it's my friends name although she spells it with a y
Oooh i had my first order this week too, was from my auntie, but hey £30 is £30 lmao
Life begins at 40
You little'uns sound great

I do a lot of craft fairs and im finding what is really selling well and did at christmas is mens pints of socks 2 pairs of black socks and 1 pair of white or a cream flannel i did a fair on saturday and yet again i sold out of them there so quick and easy to do and i think people always find it hard to buy for men i know a lot of people on this forum do them just not sure if you do
