How many have you got? I've just found an idea on the Hobbycraft (am I allowed to mention them on here again? :rotfl:) website for an envelope advent calendar.

Link
(There's a video to show you how its made)

To be greener and cheaper, I would choose old christmas cards to cut up rather than cutting up scrapbooking paper. Also just write the numbers, its cheaper.

I notice they have put felt snowflakes on theirs, which would be a nice touch.


If you haven't got enough for a whole advent calendar, you could just make a mini washing line with ribbon or string and hang lightweight christmassy things off it with your pegs.

qwiksave -thanks for that link. It's a lovely idea and looks brilliant but I haven't got that many.
I wonder if I just use them with some string to hang stuff across our pine dresser.........or.......just had a thought and I'll try it out..........wonder if they'll be sturdy enough to peg my fabric hearts on to the ribbon I've put in with the hearts I made for my son ? Now............there's a thought providing they are.

Have to add...............just tried the pegs and they work a treat !!!

Hi everyone, had a busy couple of days but have managed to fit in some crafting (replace house work with crafting....its called getting your priorities right :rotfl:)
Ive made some baubles thanks to Soba's link and a box of cards from poundland :)vso ill put some pictures up tomorrow

Qwiksave that link looks really good, i must find some little pegs lol Love what you've done with your pegs too

Susan42 That tip for vistaprint is brilliant thanks for that and wow you've done lots of cooking! Im very impressed

Ive seen someone mentioning listing something on 'OS' now this is probably a silly question but what/where is OS?

I must spend some time in the next couple of days and have a look at everyones blogs and maybe even do one myself! I started one a while ago but never kept it up, must try harder

hope everyone is ok

I forgot again to get the measuring cups in lakeland but OH just came back from shopping and found a set of 8 cups (american measuring cups) in the £1 shop. I was absolutely delighted, had them in my hand a couple of seconds and broke one:eek:, messing about. Gosh Im useless sometimes .

Emzy81

Ahh right thank you Georgiabay no need to be sorry Im easily confused:D

Susan42 thats a pain isn't it, but very nice of your OH
