Hiya

I would put the meal as the first prize, spa and gym use as second prize as the first prize should be appealing to everyone to sell more tickets!!!!

Thank you! I think I will do that.

I don't know if anyone remembers me mentioning the fete I am going to for the charity I work for at the weekend. I said I was making some cards to sell.

Well I wrote to a load of companies where I live and asked if they would donate some raffle prizes. We've had some great ones!

• A meal for 4 plus a bottle of wine at a quite posh restaurant where a main meal can be about £20 each.
• A use of a spa and a gym for a week
• Three rose bushes
• Four games of tenpin bowling
• Two tickets to the theatre
• £10 Tesco gift voucher
• Two meals to McDonalds

Now I'm trying to 'rank' them for first prize, second prize etc.

I would put the spa and the meal at the top, but can't decide between the two. I mean a week at a spa would cost HUNDREDS, so I think financially it's the best, and the one I would most want. But am I being biased? I can imagine a man winning it and being disappointed! There are no treatments included, but you can use the large swimming pool, sauna, steam room, jacuzzi, hydro-pool, etc.

So would you put as the first prize? The meal at a posh restaurant for four and a bottle of wine, or using a spa/gym for a week?

And for the rest of the rankings, I've put 3rd as the two tickets to the theatre, 4th four games of ten pin bowling, 5th the three rose bushes, 6th Tesco voucher and 7th McDonalds meals. Does everyone agree with that?

I agree with PONR, especially as the meal is for 4 people and the others sound about rignt.

Hello again everyone, I posted on this thread a while ago about wedding invites and I'm now mid trying to make them. I am making my own folders/pocketfolds for them with plain sheets of card but my glue roller isn't sticking them well enough and they keep popping open. Can anyone suggest a good strong glue or something to stick it down with

Thank you all in advance

NunnyGirl

Have you tried double sided sticky tape, or anita's tacky glue, both of these work for me when I am making boxes etc

nunnygirl

Thanks Mad-Frog, I've only tried my little glue roller and after an hour it was gining to pieces

Can anyone recommend where I an get some snowflakes and what materials are best?

Anywhere doing free postage just now as I need some Christmas backing papers?

Thanks:)

Hi nunnygirl, I use Anita's tacky glue for nearly all papercrafting, you only need a tiny amount, apply a bit of pressure to make sure it sticks and then leave to dry, I promise it won't come apart

Jazabelle, you've got some cracking prizes there :j

Glittermum, glad you had a fab holiday xxx

Treated OH to a 'decent' meal today - roast beef and yorkies. Have to say I think they are the best yorkshires I've ever made. Made a chocolate sponge with chocolate sauce for pud and have made a ginger cake for a picnic tomorrow. I managed half of the ironing and then ran out of time so hope to finish it off tomorrow.

Off to check out blogs now xxx
