Laura those decorations are brilliant well done.

Just thought i would share a few christmas crafty bits i have made recently:-




If anyone wants a copy of the label i designed take a look at my blog for my contact details and i'll send you a copy.









I made this bag for my little girl but think it would like cute a sa cushion so i might adapt the pattern and make a few cushions too!

laura - they';re brilliant -well done:T

jackie - if you type ''poems'' in the search box at the top there is a thread on here with loads of poems on it.

I've done bottles of chill pills but just printed a 'joke' label off internet.
I've done jars of snowballs with snowman face on the front or they've been gravy tubs covered in snowman paper and this is the verse i did for them

in case we don't have a white christmas
And there's been no snowfall
I'm sending you this little snowman
Full up with sweet snowballs

With the weather being as it is it might have to be changed I think.......lol

We've had so much snow
More than enough so far
So I've made some snowballs just for you
And put them in this jar.

I'm sure someone will come up with something better............lol...........oh just realised........there's one on Dizzytinas pot of snow:T

Dizzytina - you have been busy............love the ''santas false teeth''............lol Wish I'd done some of them now.,:rotfl:

Ooops............nearly forgot........today i've been covering some pegs and tomorrow I'll attempt a small 'memory board'.........cover some board with paper and stick pegs on for reminders.

Just had a look of the 'freebie board' and found this link -not tried it as I'm not a knitter but thought some of you who are might find it handy:)

Mary-op - Thank you soooo much!!!:T I tried all sorts of words on the 'search'....didn't think of 'poems'!!!!!:doh:
I have been good today though......with all the snow thought I should do something constructive!!!
I have got the 'chill pills' and 'snowballs' ready for their labels!! Also made 6 Pots of gold, Reindeer poop and started a Weather wally!!!! Won't hang him out yet....not only will he go white he will probably go stiff too!!!:rotfl:
