Rusty I have just measured one of the test tubes and they are 15cm long does that help you any?

Huge Congratulations to all our winners

Emzy81

Thanks for the welcome everyone

Its too flipping hot today! Im hiding inside

JuJu sounds like that woman is a miserable pain lol!

Looks like lots of you win challenges so well done! Maybe when ive started making them and started getting good ill have a look at the challenges too....one step at a time though

Tomsmom thanks for the advice and the links Im in West Norfolk if anyone knows of any good craft shops around here?? I think we have a works in the next town so ill have a look in there next time we venture up there. Unfortunately for most things I have to make the most of online shopping

Ive had a quick look around and for starters it looks like I need a craft mat, a craft knife, sticky dots, and scissors....am I missing anything? Im going to buy a 'Lets make cards' magazine because it has lots of bits with it, so with that and those tools will I be good to go? And is it best to get those tools from ebay? Sorry about all the questions

The images that people colour in with promarkers look really great but im not sure I could do it, ive always been terrible at colouring in I think id make a right mess of them

Ive just googled reindeer food and it looks like a lovely idea im going to have to make some this year, we don't have children but ill just make it for me and my fiance lol

Giggle I think the boxes look great

Right im off to be nosey at your blogs, I hope none of you mind!

I think the box is really lovely. But so are the bags. I'm thinking that with the bag your customers can see what the reindeer food actually is but with the box they wouldn't know until they open the box IFSWIM. Could the box be made bigger and put an acetate window in so the food would be visible, 'cos it really is a lovely box.

The box does open up and as a little acetate window i did take a photo of it open but it wouldnt load to my p c time for a new phone i think
it is the same box as these http://stampingsharing.blogspot.com/2009/12/kids-xmas-treats.html

Hi these boxes and bags are great. Were they easy to make? They have given me ideas for Christmas (I know it is early) as I work in school I am always on the look out for ideas for small and fairly cheap gifts as I work with around 60 children so it soon becomes expensive.

Thanks

Hi Everyone,

It has been a hectic hot day, and I am so looking forward to the summer break now, It will be lovely to spend some quality time with my own children, and not be worn out. I did come home and make a card, and put it in a few challenges ( thanks Mel for the great list on your blog.
WBR my challenge card is blogged,

Congratulations Scatty and Tomsmum, on your wins,

Welcome to all the new members, Emzy81, you can pick these up quite reasonable, ebay may work out more expensive have a look on some websites like craftsupermarket and you could probably get everything with one postage cost, hth,

I am now going to chill, I've been playing The Sims 2 on my DSi and its becoming addictive, ohh and I think my farm needs attending of fb I know I am sad lol

take care Jo x

ds1 went for his induction day at the secondary school today. he is in a form with his best friend so that is good. there are also a few others he knows, some from his school some from others.

sorry marg I forgot to answer your question from ages ago. I am trying to give up milk to see if it helps with my stomach pains and bloating. hopefully it will help with my migraines. I am not doing too well with it at the moment:(

Haven't caught up with the thread properly yet...
Good luck tomorrow Gemm I am sure you will do really well.. I know it is difficult and easier said than done, but try to live in the moment and try not to worry too much about going back to work yet.. as I said, it is easier said than done.. I think this week end will take your mind off things tho cos you are going to be so busy clearing your table really quickly with loads of people buying all your fab goods..
