wow there are so many fantastic things on this thread :T

my head is spinning with all the ideas and thing I would like to make.

I have made some of the e shaw mints but they have been halloween ones...but now halloween is here I can concentrate on Christmas:j

I have bought some snowbites from Tesco today to make bags of snowballs and have managed to find the cadbury minis in Home Bargains (will use these instead of e shaw mints for the boys)

mummyslittleboy thanks for the link for reindeer die - I will have to buy it! what did you use for the rudolph noses? my boys prefer chocolate so they would be good for them

am looking forward to participating a bit more in this thread and seeing what else you all make

I have to use chocolates as ds can only eats what dissolves in the mouth must remember to stock up on baby wipes:rotfl:
In tesco they have a little net of sweets with the chocolates from both packets that I have made in (reindeer noses and the santa's) they were BOGOF but I can't remember how much and cant find the receipt sorry they were in the isle with all the christmas sweets though.

Help, am trying to make some magnetic pegs, got the pegs, riboon and embelishments and had what I thought to be a brainwave with regards to the magnet for the back and bought some magentic photo paper. Cut it into strips and glued it to the back of the peg and all was going brilliantly until I tested the strength of it and discovered it was virtually non existant What do people use for theirs? The magnetic strip in hobbycraft is too wide and pretty expensive. They do sell magnetic foam which they recommend for fridge magnets but am not convinced it will be any better than the photo paper. All suggestions gratefully received! Thank you

Hi everyone just thought i would pop in and say hi :wave:

I am finding today really frustrating as OH and DS are both on Isle of Wight playing rugby and I have loads of time to myself. I had planned on doing loads of craft but my course work is taking so much longer than expected. So instead of sat in the craft room covered in glitter and glue I am surrounded by lesson plans and response sheets - it's just not the same

Oh well, at least i know i will have plenty to do when the course is all done - which must be 11 Nov.

You have all given me such inspiration and i can't wait to do my snowmen body parts (am i allowed to be secretly smug that i came up with that idea :rotfl:)

Love this thread and the general friendliness, Will come back on later for more inspiation.

Thank you Craftygranny, how do these look once on the pegs as they are 12mm and the pegs are 9mm?
