pity we don't live close by we could have job shared, although my DH would be thinking it was a voluntary job as I would never have any wages lol

Mad frog the challenge is christmas and finishes on 15th

CT - I did start to make mine last night a few things i found, were before you start try to make sure you have enough co ordinating papers. And you will need a large piece of paper, i think A3 maybe big enough, as i hadn't read the instructions properly before hand i uses some brown paper that i had lying around and just covered it. I will put a pic of mine on my blog in a few moments. I have only done the shell though! :rotfl:

I'm not very happy at the moment as i ordered a circle punch from ebay, at first i thought it was a scalloped one, then realised it wasn't, but thought i could use it anyway. It says 2 Inches but is actually only 2 CM!!!!:eek: Not very happy about that at all!

Just checked your blog and what you have done so far is looking good. I was looking at the template last night, thinking am I going to have enough co-ordinating papers because you need 12 sheets to do the 12 pockets. Thanks for the tip on A3 paper, i'll have to get some, and did wonder as when I read your instructions it said about wrapping paper, which I thought would be too thin .

Good luck sorting out the punch.

Also wanted to say I have just blogged a card for your christmas challenge.
Congratulations to the new winner - fab card

I'm out with the girls tonight (first time isn months) so hope to have a play making one up over the weekend.

Hello all :j
I'll never catch up with what you've all been doing but what I have seen is brilliant :T

CT -just looked at your blog and instructions for kitchen organiser............I've done three of these and used old place mats......one way of using them up rather than throwing them out. Hadn't thought of doing a stamp pouch............must remember that for next year.:)

Hope you're all ok and hugs ((((:o))) to anyone who needs them

Hi all,
Not made any cards recently ,so nothing to blog,but I did spend over an hour writing out my family Christmas cards.
Took me ages to sort out who was having which cards,really didn.t want to send some,wanted someone to send them to me.
I did pick out a nice one and wrote it to my OH,so I could keep it,lol.
Why is it such a wrench to give my cards away?
Congrats to our latest winners,and welcome to our newbies.

Cheers mary I bought plain white empty matchboxes from Baker Ross but you could recycle normal matchboxes
