I have finally made a Christmas present (one was already done, and Beka knows what she is getting already, so might as well show them both). Just need to do one more tie necklace, then all the beading is done

Twas the night before Christmas and all through the house
Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse.
The stockings were hung by the chimney with care
In hopes that St. Nicholas soon would be there.
My dogs were nestled, all snug in "MY" bed,
While visions of chewie toys danced in their heads.

That's lovely - I am going to adapt it ever so slightly for mine :j

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

Beverly, If you are in Coleraine, we do have a works now hun... bargain books turned into one about a month ago Some of the craft stuff in it is FAB !! My husband officially hates it cuz I have spent a fortune
(i'm in coleraine too btw .. always thought I was on my own on here !! )

Here's the first verse from a really long one but you may be able to adapt it to suit you

I would like to make some of the reindeer/snowman poop etc. Apologies if you have already given the info, but what size cello bags do you use, and how do you make the cardboard bit at the top? Many thanks.

I bought some from Hobbycraft, 25 in a bag for 89p which are an ideal size however in Dunelm I found red round flat gems in a wee box LOAD for 99p so bought those too.
HC do sell these pack of various shaped gems but never seen the round red ones in ours.

Have a good day everyone I am off to an U8 rugby tournament.
