good idea .. although theres only 6 in that pack .. could do in one ferro .. another a mini bar of something ... so on and so forth ..

god i love christmas ... cant wait for the full on shop ..............

oooooooooooooooooooo nother idea .. you could do it where you do it for your OH and why you love them .. say a chocolate then a note .. eg, an after eight and because you cuddle me when i need it ... suppose you could do it for a parent as well x

You get 12 in a pack, so you could use 7 and eat 5!!!

I like the idea of seven different chocolate things though.

I was also thinking I might do OH a jar of kisses using jelly lip sweets.

Totally you could do that, just use scrapbooking alphabet rub ons on the top of the boxes, I actually got the Ikea gift set boxes last year in turquoise and black which are exactly the same, the large boxes with the small inside, I used mine for truffles though,
You could also choose individual chocolates from Thorntons as they sell those fancy individual chocs at the counter desk or you can get a mould similiar to that chocolate in the poundshop also and the chocolate wrapper foils on Ebay , :j

I can answer this one for you mary, ponr is in America at the moment and that is where she got the santa cutlery holders. I think you could probably copy them from the picture with felt (sshh)

They look fab midnightraven .. you did better than I ever could even getting that far with them!!

Well I went n bought myself a hotglue gun (it's an investment ) yesterday and some spray paint so I have everything I need for my frames now. Unfortunately I am in no fit state to craft anything atm as some silly man crashed into my car on way back from shops yesterday so I am atm very stiff n sore Just hoping it goes in next few days .. been told could be like this for up to a month?! I am supposed to be picking up a courtesy car 2moro but can't see that happening atm ... hmmm ... we will see. Enough of my woes lol.

Does anyone have any more links to crafty blogs, the ones I find on google aren't as interesting!! Thanks all xx
