The painting is fabulous
Not only from a technical point of view but subject
You can just tell that dog has "character!"

And i,m loving the painted jars
Gives it a finishing touch

Course, you do know whats going to happen now dont you??????

People are going to come back with their "empties" for refills:rotfl:

Are we all about finished & sitting waiting on santa??

I have a pile of hampers in my lounge in the unwrapped stage, and I dont know if I should put tissue over them as to not spoil the surprise.

i swithered with that one too esmer

i did one to see what it looked like next to one in cello only

for me, i really didnt like it
it wasnt that it didnt look nice, it did, and i had put snowflake things between the paper & cello etc

but next to the cello only basket, it just didnt look anywhere near as nice
i had lots of colourful things in my baskets this year
i arranged them all nicely
and i was pleased how they looked

so i wanted people to enjoy them too, if there was tissue they would open, and start looking through it and not really see it looking "pretty"

first 2 people i gave them too said the same thing

oooh its too pretty to open:sad:

i think it defeated the purpose:rotfl:

esmer

lol Thanks, I have went with the tissue. And it looks pretty, I will post later on, I have tied really nice xmas decorations to it and they stand out on the wrapping. I have one more to do. Then I have to tidy up.. ........... I can enjoy tomorrow for the morning, on call in the afternoon Going to make Muffins for xmas morning with the wee one. She loves to bake

can i ask , do you sterilise your jars before putting food items in ? sorry if I am being dumb.

I have just found this thread so too late for this year, seeing all the wonderful HMG you have made has really inspired me. can't wait to join in next year.

I just washed mine with warm soapy water

:xmastree:Merry Christmas to you all.:xmastree:

I can now officially say I am all finished, I have wrapped all my hampers and I will post some photos once the wee one is in bed, and I have a cuppa and a bit of shortbread in hand.

Just want to say thanks to you all for all the inspiration, and make me have a lot of fun making all my gifts.
