Happy Birthday to You
Happy Birthday to you
Happy Birthday dear Rusty......
Happy Birthday to yooooooooooou :T

Really you don't want me singing to you properly!
Can't remember who asked but Snowman soup is a small gift including hot chocolate, whisk, marshmallows and sometimes stirring stick or chocolate spoon. There is a poem verse to go with it that you can find in various places online. Makes a great little gift. I know organized christmas has the tags and labels all ready for you just to print off and use. They also do similar for reindeer poop, and various other seasonal holiday gifts. Hope that explains?!

I bought some of the whisks from andrewandlizzy last year we got them for alicias fundraiser and he charged me less than a tenner for 96 whisks and 120 rolls of curling ribbon and he wouldn't let me pay the postage either.
We used some for snowman soup and some we put in a bag with some quality street chocs and put a label on saying we whisk you a merry xmas. We sold out in no time .

Hello Ladies,

Happy Birthday Rusty I hope you have had a lovely day, sounds like you have had lots of lovely cards!

I have been busy colouring in my stamped images, is it just me or is there something theraputic about it? I have however discovered I am lacking in some colours, I have also used some of my childrens water-soluble pencils but it just looks like a scribble!

Well I am still debating on what to get to produce my scalloped circles, I had a little look at the Big Shot but I'm not sure I could justify buying one just yet, I may just bite the bullet and buy the punches!

Hope everyone has had a lovely weekend x

Craftgirl there's a few shops that do pre-cut shapes, the only one I can think of at the moment is Mad about Cards. Hopefully someone will come along and point you in the right direction.

Hassy - you're soooo tempting me to go. OH has said he doesn't mind, but as we have no kids next weekend I feel guilty spending time on myself, when we should be doing something together! Maybe I can convince him that he's secretly into card/jewellery making:cool:
