Well i was going out to stock up on some basics today, need clear stamp block, double sided tape and foam pads but i have a poorly boy at home today. He came out of school crying yesterday because he was ill. He said he told the teachers but they didn't ring me. Bless him he is only 4 and they made him stay.

I made a teabag holder but my hubby said it was awful and no one would pay for one at the school fate it is a very simple design so i can see what he means, I will try to post a pic later. It was the way i could make one just with scissors as i have seen some lovely tutorials where you use circle punches but i don't have one.

louby i only used scissors on some of my teabag holdes if you want to take a look there on my blog

yes i have seen them giggle they are gorgous i love the images, where did you get them from? i wondered about punching a hole in mine so that they can be closed properly with ribbon, but hubby said people need to see inside them as they won't know what they are so i didn't bother but i think it finishes it off better and they can still open them then or i could have one open for them to see. Hubby is a bit critical of my work i don't think he understands the attraction.

I got my bits from QVC it was a kit. What i do is stick the ribbon on 1st then put what ever i want on top and just tie on the side and when there on my stall i leave 1 open so people can see what they look like inside i also make the ribbon a little longer then need be and i tell people if they want to open them and write on them then they can and tie back up and cut the ribbon to size

Morning Ladies
Feels like I haven't been in here for ages! Hope you are all ok!
Rusty what an awful day you had yesterday, hope today is better for you!

Well I just don't know where the time is going, I've got lists and lists of things I need to do for the wedding and for Christmas but I don't seem to be spending my spare time doing anything productive:mad:
I'm still on the look out for 12 x 12 cardstock I'm debating waiting till our NEC visit that will give me just over a month to make up all my boxes!

I've been so busy mass producing my calendars and post it note holders, they are selling really well, I've updated my blog with a pair that I'm keeping for myself and a pic of all Joshua's bday presents I've just wrapped he'll be 3 on the 13th I think I'm more excited than him:rotfl:

Choccy, do you mean so you can layer the two? I recently bought a 2.5" Woodware circle punch from Happy Daze as I too have a 3" scallop circle punch. Looks fab together and so much better than me trying to cut a circle with scissors

Awh it sounds as if I need to buy a scalloped punch and circle, my NEC list is getting longer and longer!
