flyingpig your pudds are FAB!! I knew you would twiddle them up at bit I put dots on mine and they looked like they had lurgy lol I love the idea of using the table confetti holly leaves. I think the baubbles you have decorated are so classy and what a fabulous keepsake to give to friends instead of spending loads of time making a special card, only to end up in the bin!! If I pm you my email could I have a copy of the Snowman Soup card, pretty please? I made the cone ones last year so they would be something different.

They have small christmas mugs for children in ASDA today @ £1.25 each, I was thinking about getting some to put in my goodie bags with the soup for my grandaughter to give to her friends. They also have Milky Way Magic Stars fun size 3 large bags for £3 may work out cheaper than buttons 14 individual packets in each.

My bags are 100mm x 75mm and a bag of 70g raisins made 5 packets - there are about 12 raisins in each which does looks plenty in the bag. After all I think it's just a novelty present, not sure anyone will actually eat them :rotfl:

Hey all. lovely crafts being made as usual. :T

I have got nothing done in almost 2 weeks now, bar one card!!!! :eek: but still i keep on buying things!! SLAP for me!!

The main reason for this is because my craft room/ corner is a mess!!! since only taking this up recently I don't have a "proper" space. In the spare room upstairs i have put a table and bar that everything is in boxes on the ground!! its awful!! i can't find anything that I need and always forget what I have because I have to go hunting for it!

Now to make matters worse in that room the roof is slanted so i can't really put shelves up not at the min anyway... so I need to try get drawers or something to get organised! cos the mess is putting me off! What does everyone else do??

I have googled craft rooms and in images there are some lovely ones!!! IF ONLY we could all do that!! lol

Any ideas are welcome!! that don't cost the earth because im proper skint from buyin so much stash!!! lol HEEELLLLPPPP!!!

Lovely Christmas puddings flyingpig. I loved flourgirl's clever puds and have been looking everywhere for something I could use for holly including table confetti. Could you please tell me where you found yours? I'm not having much luck finding things at the moment - I still haven't found any Cadbury miniatures!

Thankyou

curly,
I highly reccomend the Expedit units from ikea, they do single ones and half ones so they would easily fit in with a slanted roof, i also have billy bookcases in my room which are great, infact my whole room is ikea!!
There are pics on my home page but i can not link to it. All my craft room photos are labled "craft Room" so you would pick it from the lable list - i have pics from the very start, it wa a huge job but well worth it!

mrsow

wow I havent had internet access for a week or so and you are on page 57!!!!!!

I am going to sit and get jealous at all your lovely makes!!

flyingpig I have pmed you about the snowman soup cards - dont worry if its too late
