WELL DONE THE WIFE

Has anyone found those cute little jars anywhere other than poundland and ikea? They have sold out in Poundland and Ikea is miles away. Didn't want to pay too much for them 3 for £1 would have been ideal!

Flourgirl, have a fantastic time away. I love your latest mints, they are all beautiful

Jammy, I have only seen the jars in Ikea. Have you tried online anywhere? Bet p&p would be £££ for glass jars though

Hi you busy lot:j
Went to hospital this afternoon for OH's scan -picked some paint up from Focus on the way and wandered about a bit on the shopping precinct to kill some time..........found lovely card making shop...could have spent hours as well as a fortune in there but OH was getting tired so we went on to the hospital -hour early but he got seen and had the scan early so it wasn't so bad. Now its a case of waiting for results.........mean another trip to the hospital and maybe another look at the card shop ? I wonder.............hope so anyway.
I do want to get some things done for Ikki and Alicia but at the minute I've got a chap decorating the kitchen (I use kitchen table so makes it tricky) but I'll see if I can do something next week;)

Sorry clipped your post. Thank-you for your comments

I have made these tonight for my guests at my birthday dinner on Saturday night. They are so quick and easy to make. You only need a few bits of card. One piece 11cm x6cm make a score line at 5cm and 6cm and fold then decorate as you wish. The white ones are made with watermarked pearlised card. I have done some Christmassy ones too with the glittery stickers and they look fab.

Helping_hubby - your craft room looks really organised!!

Rainmac - your rudolph spares are lovely - your gingham ribbon looks fab!!!!

flourgirl - love your little mint holders - they are so cute! Could you make me one of those chocolate cakes - it looks delicious?????? Your swap goodies look like a great mix of things, and your craft area looks very tidy!

Bunbun - the promarker pens are the same in the different packs - its just different packaging - so the "manga" pens are the same as the ones we've been buying - does that make sense???

Jailhousebabe - good luck in your new venture - it sounds very exciting!!!!

Rusty - hope you have a fab time in Aberdeen!!! What Cosmo Cricket pad did you buy - I have the early bird, earth love and jolly ones, the earth love one is my favourite!!! I've got to get the new nutmeg one!!!! Your cards and calenders are lovely, I'm sure OH will appreciate his card!

Ali - fabulous cards - I think your Rudolph card is my favourite! Sorry I haven't posted your bits yet - I haven't really been out of the house with the kids being off school, but it sounds like its probably better to post things next week when the strike's finished! My blog wont let me upload Alicia's pic either - I keep getting the same message as you!!!

Craftygranny - crikey - 48 pots of gold - you have been busy!!!! Your image wallets are fabulous, and I love your xmas cards made with your manga stamps!
