This is the seller I buy from on ebay, I got recommended him, and he's brilliant, the best bit is he has a maximum postage of £4.95..... so even buying 3 bits still save.

name - nickschicks

link to his shop - http://shop.ebay.co.uk/nickschicks/m.html

what I do is use normal tissue paper and put it though the shredder - also very mse - can also use christmas wrapping paper as well - looks good shredded xx

shrink bags, shrink to size when you heat it up with a hairdryer, so they mould to the shape or what ever you are wrapping.

Santa Snow I seen on other posts is a bag, jar and has either White bon bons, or those new cadbury chocolates that look like little snowballs

HTH

Well done on your win Foxy xx

When we got home from the town yesterday OH went up in the loft and brought down the Xmas wrapping paper, gift bags and Xmas cards so I could start having a sort out. I used the box that my Half Cost order came in last week and covered it with some Xmas wrapping paper and it was right size to do the food hamper that OH wanted to do for his bro and sil. Had to pad some bits out with some screwed up tissue paper but OH was pleased with it once the cello and ribbon went on top.

Had a sort out on top of my wardrobe and got eldest daughter's and grandson's birthday presents down and wrapped ready for when they get home from their hols next week.

This morning out Tesco delivery came, tires me out taking it all in and putting it away when I am on my own but did it in the end, took over an hour to get it all away. Ordered some of their value toffees and chocolate eclairs. The toffees were in plain white wrappers and the eclairs were in purple wrappers. I have filled up those lovely glass pots I got from the 99p shop a while ago (instead of doing snow balls) and will probs give them to the nieces unless youngest daughter wants them for her friends.

Nothing else Christmassy today going on I doubt. Going up town again this afternoon to meet my friends and need to get daughter some new underwear but she needs it now so wont be able to put it away.

Noticed this morning she was wearing the new school blouse that I made so she must have thought I had bought her another one from the shop. Think I will start on another one tomorrow as have lots of the white fabric left over and it will come in handy.
