omg, those are amazing!!!

i've been following bakerella for ages now and have always wanted to try, i tried looking for candy melts online but i was warned that the wilton brand are too thick (not sure what u used but urs r lovely).

also, try bakerellas recipe for macaroons. they are amazing, especially for gifts. they take some time and effort but well worth it, plus chose variations on food die so they can match a theme or the persons fave colour.

god, u r all so busy on here, makes me look lazy!

Stupid Evans offer that was online the other day have cancelled mine and almost everyone elses orders.So no new bra for me.

I am raging - my email said my scarf was OOS, sent them an email asking why when it's in stock on the site and got a very snotty email in response. It was my first order with them and I'm not going to bother again, although if the first one went off ok I'd seen a few bits I liked the look of.

Same for me.First one I have ever placed.And the last.Plenty of other places with deals all the time.They have not done themselves any favours on here.

Welshgirl90 Im busy but not getting anywhere fast,lol.

Ive not heard of bakerella before.Im going to put myself a few notebooks together i think.Full of addresses from tinternet etc.I find stuff ,then forget it after a while.

Someone said there was cute cellowrap on hobby craft but cant find it.Anyone know where id find it on their site?The searchbar is not finding anything.

Finally getting excited about Christmas.

I agree Clare think it a popularity competition but could resist! I entered DS in Baby of the Year in local rag when he was nearly 1 and my cousins daughter won because they had bought £500 worth of papers and sent the vouchers in!:eek: I only went as far as to climb in the local newspaper recycling bins! :rotfl::rotfl: Never again! People go to such lengths!

:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::eek::eek::eek: Blimey!!! lol

Ddraig - to be fair, something for the weekend's versions are probably easier, but arn't hers GORGEOUS?! I LOVE the little bees! Thinking of doing a Bee birthday cake for DD's 1st birthday, and was tempted to try making those....but I'm thinking what with her birthday being so close to Chrsitmas and I'll have enough to do, that I might just leave it this time! lol

esmer - they're lovely!! Great fun!

Welshgirl - the Something for the weekend recipe had white chocolate coloured with food colouring. That will probably work?

SugarSpun - I was going to do that Evans glitch today, but not only have the codes stopped working, but what with all these cancellation emails, I'm glad I didn't bother!

My grandads cd has arrived :j:j thats the last bit for his hamper so I can get on and do that now I havent even done anything on the challenge yet well I dont think I have, I did order the last couple of bits from vista print that I wanted and have had an email to say they have been dispatched.
Today I took my aunts christmas presents over to her as not sure If i will even get a chance to see her again before christmas think she was shocked by the size of the bag but it all came to under £8.00 thanks to fed up and skint for that as it was all stuff from the lakeland gardening sale.

I am going to wrap all ds's presents this weekend so that will be a job done.

Ok I Have lost the link to this months challenge can anyone point me in the right direction?
