Does anyone know the best place for buying labels that say home made .I want people to realise I have made my humble offerings

I did have a link for this but as usual I can't find it :mad:. What you can do is buy the computer sheets that you can iron on. Print off rows of what you want to say onto this, cut them into strips and then iron them onto ribbon. Oh I wish I could find the link it would make much more sense.

Have you tried this seller on ETSY? There's a large range of labels in various quantities.

You just need some iron-on transfer paper and some nice ribbon (as well as a printer). I haven't tried it yet but it's on my list!

Spot on description PepPop! :T I've pasted the link and a pic of a finished product (although haven't attempted doing it myself yet...)

I was thinking instead of buying my little nieces an Easter egg each I would get a few eggs and fill with an assortment of little sweeties - like the coop do 3 for £1 on gummy sweets etc and see if i can find/make a little Easter basket for them each with a little chick or too as well.

I've just made a baby "card" and posted it on my blog. There's a link to the tutorial there too. It's not really Christmassy but I thought it could be maybe turned into elf shoes and made out of green or red card.

Not strictly relevant but could anyone help me out on this one?

No worries hun - happy to help I lose so many links that I then spend ages searching for (time that I could have been using to make things!)

PS I love your baby card - have left a comment on your blog x

Just a slight word of warning about these, when my son was very young he had one of these as a gift and as it was an Easter egg to him he put it in his mouth, cyrved shaped side in first, and it took a struggle to get it out all the whilst he was choking, so please be careful of ages receiving these if they are the small ones! ta.
