        You will have to fill me in on his lushiousnessnessness and I'll have to rewatch season 1 on 4oD :p

        Right, I have a duck to Mad Hatterify! Yes that is a proper term ;) :P But first I'm off to check out your blog chillin_nutta

        I'm not gonna give away any of the story line but i will tell you that it continued exactly from where the last one finished and Bill got naked!!!! omg.gif

        Feeling much better thanks but still taking it easy.

        qwiksave - I've done loads of christmas cards (swanks to self:p) but they're not as good as yours...........I've made a lot using bits from last years cards but I'll spend more time on the ones for family and close friends.

        Paper flowers are lovely but I can just see the pickle I'd get into with them.

        Haven't looked at my part started button necklace yet and thats enough to drive me daft..............just how much can the brain take:rotfl:
        I would be unstoppable if only I could get started !

        princess tiger, thanks for the info, i bought the stars one the other week but the paper one passed me by somehow. Well I ordered one now, just have to work up the energy to make something now, slacking a bit lately xx

      4. Susan42 - Glad you got sorted with what you wanted :)

        Apart from my knitted mittens / wrist warmers I've not made anything else for Christmas pressies. Actually, I haven't made anything for Christmas pressies yet because I'm nabbing the mittens for myself! In my defence they were my first attempt at knitting so technically only a 'prototype' ;)
        I'll try and post a picture some time.

        I'm a card maker mainly so I've been making cards for birthdays, valentines and a wedding recently. They are on my blog if anyone fancies a peek. Can't post links yet but it's - www . sarahspapercraft . blogspot . com

        I found something else!:j I'm on a roll..

        These would make nice christmas presents - maybe with some homemade christmas goodies on them and sealed with cellophane?

        A plate stand made yourself :eek: with a painted brass candlestick and plate! :T
        Simple!

        Here is where I found it:
