Curly07 heres my craft corner. Not sure if it would suit you (depends how far the roof slopes). It's the Frederik from Ikea and as you can see, i've put plastic drawers underneath.

I hope this has helped you a little bit.

OK I don't wish to upset whoever came up with the original poem for Reindeer food but whilst sitting with my son (nightly ritual to get him to sleep, ASD boy ) I was reworking the poem in my head:

So that Santa can find your home
From way up high as the Reindeer roam
Sprinkle this outside for their delight
And the magic in moonlight will make it shine bright

Poet Laureate or not? :rotfl::rotfl:

Aww thanks that's made my smile from ear to ear

It's amazing what thinking you can get done in a darkened room waiting for a 5 year old to drop off to sleep. Actually I was itching to get away (bad mommy ) as I wanted to have a go at cutting out a box for said Reindeer food

PS. thanks for Snowman soup email x

:rotfl:Hi Everyone :wave:

I am chapping at the bit to get started!!! I have now ordered all cello bags I need, my friend got me BOGOF ES chocs for 3.15 (she gets her discount), ordered SU punches and glitter pen from lisa, last year I used paper for bag toppers etc but this year will be using card, is there any special type of card or will any do? flyingpig, the blue card you used on your snowman poop (I think thats what it was, 3 snowmen on top) is my fav colour, where did you get that card, sorry you must be soooo fed up with all the questions, for those who PM'd me for the templates for snowman soup tags (for cones), bag toppers and magic reindeer food tags, hope you got them ok, I am currently working on something on the PC with regards to 'poop' bags as I am pretty nifty on the computer and it may help beginners (like me :rotfl:) to get started, will see how I get on tomorrow with it although I have no idea how to upload pics on here :rotfl:

Oh is anyone else watching the craft channel and that fab new Cricut machine. I am sitting with all my school fair projects and not getting much of anything done as I am drooling over all the great things they can do (and than going a bit pale at the price :rotfl:)

Some more wonderful things being made by everyone well done.

I sat and made another 20 toppers for sweet bags last night from the anita penguin 3d stickers. I want to make some of these into tree decorations, so can anyone please let me know the best way to stick the ribbon on.

Do you just attach it with double sided sticky tape to the front and back of the ES Mint ensuring that there is a loop of ribbon at the top or do you do it some other way?

Thanks
