My tea bag / tattoo holders arent quite finished yet, i might add a little more to them, i'm gonna see what they look like witht he tea bags / tattos in them.

My son who is 6 is gonna hand write a message inside with a silver / gold pen. I was gonna print a label for them but they looked to mass produced.

The tea bag holder will have a printed poem inside them though, as i cant be bothered to write it out over and over again. Plus i dont think i'd fit it all in if it was hand written.

My friend has just asked me to make her some pink one's for her daughters christening and she's gonna put after 8 mints in them as little thank you favours.

Think i need to invest in a sizzix or cuttlebug, so off to ask for advice on the craft thread.

Princesswoo - you wouldn't happen to have a certain "say it with a smirk" pad for those cards would you :rotfl: Thanks for the inspiration though! I think I may be pinching one of two of your ideas :rotfl::rotfl:

I think I'll tackle my planning for Christmas first, while sorting washing out then I'm going to get making some more Christmas cards
