How about the little mini Cadburys chocolate bars that fit inside the machines you put 10p in ? ( used to be 2p) Think they are called cadburys minatures

How about Twilights ( not very childy but yummy none the less )
Maybe you could do one for yourself mel?

Would M&S Percy Pig and friends fit? Pink shrimps? Black Jacks? Fruit Salads?

***Off for a rummage in DD's sweetie cupboard as I've amde myself hungry now :rotfl:***

Pinkladymel - thanks for showing us your advent calendar - its gorgeous!!!! I was going to ask you what sort of thickness of paper you used - I thought maybe basic grey would be too thick, and that I'd be better off using my K and Co. stash

pinkladymel

Thanks for all the ideas!! I got to write all these down now Cadburys machines were 2p when I was little too! 10p is extortionate!

I used Karen Foster paper Mel so K and Company would probably be ideal! Remember, it's for life.. so use the best papers xx

Well Done Rusty! Sorry to hear OH has to work but I must say I think Bank Holidays are over-rated. It's blowing a gale here & looks like rain so a good excuse to craft....... or iron....mmm ironing or crafting? crafting or ironing?

Rainmac - Fantastic Christmas cards on your blog! I thought everyone could send cards to me then I can send them en masse to the lady organiser (it will also help me keep track of who's entered)!

Reminder The Christmas cards are for our troops to send back to their families over here so please don't sign them. Hamish222 I am right aren't I?

Yes unsigned it is for troops to send back to familys. Can add a verse or leave blank what ever you prefer.
