    Hello everyone,

    I'm going to have a craft week this week but need to get some supplies from eBay before I start as I think the only thing I have is pritt stick! I'm going to buy some blank wooden Xmas decorations and paint them and I'm going to have a go at making some sour dough and make some letters, spelling out Merry/Happy Christmas and paint them to hang off out mantlepiece.

    you might want to try salt dough or you could have some funny looking bread on your hands come christmas time ;) xxxxx

    hi i bought wobbly eyes from ebay last time i looked there was lots of different sellers and also lots of different sizes to choose from. try and measure the size before you buy though, i bought a load and they were way to small.

    irishgirl -love the picture frame:T
    Rooting around in a blanket box today I found I've got 4 spare frames !! Forgot they were there....:eek: They're all quite nice pine ones so think I'll have to either find a use for them and swap some of the clip frames I've got or get my water colours out and do a simple painting as a pressie for someone.
    I would be unstoppable if only I could get started !
