Thanks Bitsy Beans, we dont have a works here (NI) but I saw some of those card holder things on ebay so will get them, wasnt sure if they would be suitable for food iyswim but if others are using them im happy to as well lol.
Im going today to buy all my supplies for reindeer poop, snowman soup,snowman poop, the terrys choc orange reindeer and the little tea bag cards.
Speaking of the tea bag cards I found a box of chocolate mints yesterday in poundstretcher for £2.99, so I bought them, wish I had waited tho BnM have a box almost twice as big and for only £1.99!
Im also hoping to find a wooden advent calender in Tesco today as well, mine wont be anywhere near as good as Flyingpigs obviously but its given me inspiration lol. x

Do you need some posting across to you? I can get them & do so to save you some £££ if you need me to.

I love the calenders but I need to ask how you get the corners so neat??? Where do you get the beer mats from please???

I just use a small pair of very sharp scissors .

My GD stuck the paper onto the beer mat first then cut round it with small scissors, I wouldn't trust her with a scalpel, it was easier for her to do it this way rather than cut the paper and round the edges first.

Thankyou very much, thats a really lovely offer. I was pm'd by someone earlier (forgive me I cant remember your user name) to say that we do in fact have them over here, they have taken over what used to be bargain books so im going to have a look on Monday when I am in town again. Thanks again tho x

Flourgirl - Your GD's sleeps calander is lovely, clearly crafting is in the genes

Hollie - your makes are lovely, shame your Xmas sweeties broke

No crafting as of yet today, shall need my miners helmet as it's soooooo dark.

OK yet another question.......rather than hand drawing stripes on a sheet of paper to make Bah Humbug bags is there any way to do it through Word on the computer? I am soooooo not an IT techie but I do have a decent printer (courtesy of my dad) so could easily print the background off. Only no idea how to do it
