Flourgirl - I got my magazine tonight in Morrisons - our Sainsburys is only small with a poor magazine section, sad really 'cos I prefer Sainsburys but really wanted the magazine. The papers are pretty.

Jazabelle - Store my cards?? I'm always so far behind they get put straight in an envelope & taken to the post!:rotfl:

Dragonllew - some fab freebies on the site you got your image from. I'm going to have a proper look later - Thank you. My craft knife is a 'baby' stanley knife DH winces & takes over if he sees me with it!

Mary - Inside outs at the ready, hope all goes well for you x

A few of you have mentioned craft rooms - I'm so jealous! We have a tiny two up, two down type house, and my storage space amounts to a carrier bag hidden behind the sofa!!

Haha sounds like our house (or at least that's how it started but gradually it's spread out and is now fillling multiple bags along with a plastic drawer unit ) x

Rusty - gorgeous tea bag holder btw, that ribbon is lovely x

Wow thankyou for all the ideas. I have made one and sent it to mum to look at!

Thrifty when I saw your idea I went and had a play ... pics below! If she doesn't like it then I can work on some of the other ideas posted.

Thankyou all of you! knew I could rely on you lot xxx

Lyndach - oh no, you are having a rough ride at the min!! hope you get it sorted soon xxx keep your chin up!

DTB - Any disasters today? hope you are ok xx good news about the teabag cards for your granny!!

Rainmac - Glad the boys are a little better xxx

Right here goes .... first ever attempt at a teabag holder ... ignore the blah blah blah I just wanted to make up a mock one to send to mum, she hasn't finalised all the details yet. Also I only had a fruit teabag so popped that in but will use english breakfast tea instead, again didn't want to go out and buy them incase she didn't like the idea! Honest opinions please? (I think I need thinner ribbon but couldn't find my thinner stuff in the red gingham!) I will also back the place time onto the same blue card used on the front.

Rusty that is really fab I think it looks GREAT!!!! I'm sure your mum will be really pleased I know I would be!!

If anyone wants some really, really cheap storage for their 12" x 12" papers, and they don't mind what the containers look like .............. pizza boxes - no, not the ones your pizza came in, go to the pizza place and ask if you can have a couple of new ones. I got one last year, little local pizza place, not a big multiple, and I think they charged OH 20p for a nice brand spanking new box (I'm too chicken to go and ask ). It's bursting at the seems now so OH went and asked for a couple more the other day only to be told by someone with a not very good command of English and looking very puzzled, "You want pizza box? You come back 6 o'clock, I can't sell you, M...... not here, come back 6 when M...... here". I take it M...... (never did catch the name, I think he's Turkish, it's a kebab house that also does pizzas) owns the place and has to say yay or nay.

Thanks Marg we might go to Morrisons DH prefers it especially if its lunch time their fish & chips are really nice plus we don't spend as much as we can never find things lol

Just spent about an hour messing about with the machine, cut a box and altered its size never thought to keep it square just made it landscape so I ended up with two tall sides and two short sides:o :mad: sometimes I'm so bl**dy stupid lol. Must buy a large bin tomorrow:rotfl:

Gemm Is this any better for you . you get 6 in the pack . I'll keep looking.

Sorry i brought out the spendy elves but i just thought 12 x 12 is expensive so it seemed a bargain. lol
