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

thats how i did mine i love double sided tape

Butterscotch-

I've just been cutting out some scallops and circles for someone. Got a few spare so will have to think what to do with the. Isn't it a shame we can't swap addresses on here as I know there are people who could put them to use

I've got my 2011 calendars so will hopefully get a few of them made up this weekend. Also got snowman/reindeer poop to fill my bags. Don't have anything for the ES mints so will have to see what I can do with the Cricut and my stash.

When do people find these things start selling? And could you give me an idea of prices?

I just ordered my christmas pressie!!! sizzix big shot!!! :j:j
so excited! hopefully OH lets me use it before crimbo!! lol if i can work it that is!!

Thanks for all your suggestions about craft storage ladies! I went to B&M tonight and managed to pick up a few boxes and some in poundland! so I got stuck in when I came home, still have a bit more to do, but its a start! I'll see how I get on but hope to get an ikea bookcase/shelving unit sometime in the not too distant future!

I really need to stop buying things now and use what i have! until the show on 13th Nov of course!

off to bed now.. all this sorting stuff has wrecked me!!

night all! x

Well you have all been busy, I took the kids out for the day yesterday and didnt visit one craft shop But my SU punches arrived today so I have made up for it:D

Tonight I have sat and made 25 christmas kisses sweet bag toppers and have started on the reindeer food toppers I will try and find my camera to get some pics on but it seems to have gone missing at the moment.

I have loads to do ready for the christmas fair and for my children for christmas to so just popping on and catching up on the thread when I can.

Try ebay for ikea shelves etc i got a 5 x 5 white expedit only 9 months old for 30 quid for my twins room. we have 9 expedit's mostly 4 x 4 ''s with cupboards drawers etc and most of them came from ebay.
