Well I haven't made any valentines stuff here - no one to give it too ha!

I'm going to work on tidying the bedroom this week - really need to get it done!

Anyone have any lovely Mother's Day ideas please? I've bought her a "Thanks Mum" book which is nice, but need something else to go with it too!

I've re-covered a box I had some notelets in, made some greetings cards and a little sachet type thing for stamps, covered a pen with pretty paper and am giving that to MIL. She can't get out to get things like that for herself.

Have finaly finished all my valentines choc's and cakes etcc... Just need to put all the craft stuff away and find the stapler so I can make the Cupid Poop bags. Then I can concentrate on getting ready for my holiday, hoping the kids will have an early night tonight so I can do my hair (cover the greys lol) and have a nice long soak in the bath, but will have to wait and see.

My bedrooms the same lol, definitely a dumping ground. DD is on strict instructions not to go in and leave the door open when we have guests!
Thats what I tell dd as well!!

Picked up two little grandma keepsakes in a charity shop today was going to save them for mil for mothers day but I already have a few things for mothers day so I think i'll just let the bairn give her them today to cheer her up, her hubby is in hospital and she's run ragged at the moment. Only cost 1.50.

That sounds lovely, bet she'll appriciate it more 2day.

I have to confess I tidyed up my bedroom, it took me 8 hours, dd helped (or shall we say I like that, found £2.00 on the floor and was never seen again.

I've done wardrobes, draws, under the bed, behind the computer desk, and even tidyed up my toilettries........

20 Showergels
10 big body butters
10 small ones
8 mascaras
10 lillys

Gave up after that........ but there all nicely tidy in the corner.

Hi all

Janebo - I like pancakes spread with butter, cream cheese then jam on top!

Mum2one - congratulations for DD Mmmmmm morello cherries

Sarah - I used some Christmans heart ornies I'd previously made into a decoration. Was your :eek: reply to the freezer challenge mean that you haven't started? LOL I had to laugh when I read about Cupid poop bags ! Haven't heard of them before. Hope you get your hair done.

Mary - getting the wrong size coasters - always the way when we are looking forward to receiving something - but sometimes mistakes can end up with new creative ideas.

Your challenge inspired me to make this

But it was for a birthday not Valentine's Day. The recipient was very happy so it was worth it. The yarn was left-over from another project. I did post this earlier on the thread. Thanks so much for the challenge

He's gorgeous, very cute, well done....

I managed to make a card for hubby this evening for Valentine's Day... nothing too elaborate but I had to make it quickly because I'd left it till the last minute (as per usual).
