Would this work for sealing hampers?

If anyone can recommend where to get the cones from I would still like to know!

Some Christmas craft makes courtesy of Blue Peter - http://www.bbc.co.uk/cbbc/bluepeter/central/thingstodo/makeit/christmasstar
If you scroll down on the righthand side there are a couple more ideas as well.

This might be a good site to find things to occupy little ones over the summer?

Lucy -thanks for the links............could loose myself for hours.............:rotfl:

Like the idea of a sweetie first aid box - last year I found a site for joke pills and used the labels putting them on my old tablet jars............shopaholic, stress out, Monday morning and loads more there were.Am doing some this year as well. Just fill them with jelly beans or tic tacs. Can't remember the site now -really must make note of these things:rolleyes:
Found one site with an elastoplast box and pieces of paper cut out in the shape of plasters with 'pick me up' type quotes on..........haven't tried that yet -it's on my never ending list...............:rotfl:

paddington - free newspaper front page I got from the freebie board last year -maybe if you put it in the search box there it would come up.............failing that put it in google and should think they'll be something. Good luck

Hi all, I haven't been around for ages. I can see that the Christmas spirit is very much alive.

Update on the cereal box challenge - I didn't cover it but I cut up a box and used it for bags of sugars that were kept in a plastic bag that I was hiding from my boys at the back of the cupboard. Since then, I've been finding all sorts of ingenius uses for empty jars and boxes.

Thinking of Mary, I've got gravy tubs. As they have a funny smell I've put inside herbal tea bags of cinnamon and other spices, just to remove the odour.

I've now discovered yet another challenge mum2one, so that will keep me busy.

Very YUKKY

I've just gone over to the Organised Christmas site and had to leave pronto as they have
these horrific ads for teeth cleaning right on the first page. Any of you seen them? Sometimes the teeth are really black. Put me right off!
