I remember ages ago seeing some of you had made hampers, I remember at the time thinking they were excellent - well one of our best friends is retireing in two weeks so I need something a little special, (and fun) - We have been looking around to buy a pressie but cant see anything that jumps out - so am now having this idea to make a hamper -please can you give me some ideas on how to go about/ what little things you made etc - I would be most grateful

Wifey - yes, I confess I bought a 'few' die cuts from LOTV. I've had them before and like them. Have a brilliant day tomorrow & I hope you win.

Rusty - sorry it's not me with leaves. There was some chat a bit ago about some new (I think Xcut) punches that emboss the leaves too, might it be those?

Bunbun - lovely to hear about your boys, I bet you were rightly so proud of them, they seem to be very talented. Enjoy your day with Rusty tomorrow.

Mary op - you can see Rusty's cards & scrapbook pages here

Melissa - Watch for postie tomorrow

oooh The Wife good luck with the horses tomorrow . Sounds like you'll have a good day.

Thank you all for the good wishes re Kaitlyn she's absolutely delighted today and so was her teacher . I did get a telling off from the head of the other school though when i rang to tell them she'd won her appeal and wouldn't be going there . She told me they were very good school better than the one Princess K is at and they had a huge waiting list so she couldn't understand my desicion so i told her she didn't need to understand it but now she could give the place to someone who really wants it . Silly woman was tutting at me. lol.

Fab makes on the blogs girls i will leave comments but i've only just come up from the craft room i've been making some pamper cakes for K and carly to take to school tomorrow ready for the summer fair on friday. Then i've made a start on the teacher gifts today. i have 16 teachers for carly and 8 for kaitlyn . They won't be anything like the beauties on the blog flourgirl posted .

Opps! Oh dear! has Marg been Voldermorted then? Is it painful then, Marg? I wonder if Boots will have a good cream? A cup of tea and a lie down in a dark room might help too.

Might just try some of those LOTV die cuts then, especially if the gee-gees are good to me.

See you all later

Wow these completely put my Wilkos seed packets to shame How does this lady have the time to make such gorgeous stuff with 2 littlies?

Huge congrats Mel on the GDT post :j

Rainmac your little seed packets are fab!! I have made quite a few, thankyou for your inspiration xx I think they are a perfect gift for a child to give to the teacher, the ones in the blog are fabulous, but, the cost (must be £££):eek: even if the M&S gift card is only a fiver, it makes them more of a gift from the parents and I'm not sure if I agree with that. As for the time, maybe having the right tools to hand and getting a production line going makes it easier. I love looking at her blog, she makes some wonderful things and always so professional looking, with beautiful presentation. I still prefer the seed packets!!

I think they do sell Voldermort in Boots or is that Voltarol?? Do they sell memory pills too? I think maybe I could do with some of those, must be my age!!
