Anglea and Mum2one - thanks for the flavoured coffee info thats another one to add to the list of things to do.

Tofeeapple - those flannel gifts are fabulous - the wee odg is adorable. PLease do put up staged instructions if you have time and don't mind as I know a few people that would be perfect for and I've got flannels at the ready

welcome back junior_j you've had a busy time of it

Mary_op - well done on the charity shop purchases. You always find such good things - I check our charity shopes nearly every day and there never seems to be much in them and even if you do find something it isn't always a bargain - some have crazy prices for items. :eek:

off to make a sign for my "wee" brothers 21st Birthday next week. will catch up later on again.

Morning all!
Well I have just emptied my box of goodies to see what I have got for all these makes and what I need to get! Defo need Candy Canes, AGAIN, as only 1 left in box from a pack of 18? That would be OH AGAIN!!! Have put some hot chocolate in the celo bags but how do you close them up? Elastic bands or something?
This is what I have in my ever growing box of goodies http://www.flickr.com/photos/54478791@N04/5104545392/

Thank you Giggles for that youtube link.

Yes that is how to do it basically but I added more of a nose area to his face to make him look a little cuter, the lady in the video is better at it than me, and quicker!!! I used rubber bands to hold it in place while I altered bits!! Will sort out eyes today I think.

Hope you all get dog making now, mine are for my 6 year old daughterl to give her group of friends on the last day of term.

My daughter has claimed this one and won't let me wrap it...

I have been watching these same dogs (same picture) and also the same flannel ice cream whirl on ebay for ages .... your ice cream whirl is exactly the same as this sellers (Is this you?) also the dog is the same picture as one from this seller???
