Hi All

Well im hoping to get a few more Christmas crafts done the next few days - boyfriend has been admitted to hospital as his operation went wrong and looks like hes in until at least Tuesday when his operation is scheduled so we will see when hes home. SO am looking through this thread at ideas plus they will keep me occupied and not worrying about him too hopefully.

princesswoo - I did some of those pills last year using my old pill bottles (being on medication all the time I could use my old bottles). I did a 'Shopaholic', 'Stress out', and a few more -can't remember now what they all were. Filled them with jelly beans and tic tacs. Good novelty pressie for Grandkids and they loved them.

sammy - (((hugs)))) and hope everything goes well for your boyfriend

Can anyone tell me where you get the cellophane wrapping for your hampers from?

Either from local florists, or online. Ebay seller Flower Hour is where most people from here seem to get theirs so they must have the best prices

My printer is out of ink which is frustrating as i have several half finished projects that i cant complete till my new ink arrives.

But it has meant that i have got laods of stuff sorted on the computer ready to print off when it gets here

I have been sat down this aft with my DS making a few xmas cards. Which has been ''interesting'' to say the least - he has a very funny take on what looks good.

Im so trying to resist the urge to go out and spend more money on bits and bob's. Im trying to make do with what i have for now and see what i can come up with.

With the boxes i used above to make the joke pills i have decided to use them for my sons school friends and fill them with a mcvities gold bar, a few chocolate coins and gummy rings and turn them into treasure chests. As the above items will look like treasure i think.
