Just cover them like a sleeve no need to cover the ends. I leave them as I bought them and just cover up with a new piece of paper and decorate

Thanks for that :rotfl:

Advice again please!

I'm making flannel and sock cupcakes as gifts. Can't find any reasonable priced bath pearls to use on the top. Can anyone suggest alternatives please - especially for men?

Hi all...................taken me ages to catch up.........you've all been so busy.

she grinch -love the giraffe..........:T

bitsybeans - I prefer the green but then I like green anyway.:T
...........having said that everyones shoe box of bits is wrapped in red paper this year as I got a roll of textured red wallpaper from the charity shop............lol

Ventured out this morning and got more socks for my ''pint of socks''..........did think about doing a ''pint of pants'' with boxer shorts but not sure it would work ...........crochet scarf I saw in charity shop the other day that would have gone a treat with beret for sons girlfriend had gone but I gone another one instead for her.
Craft shop had nothing in the way of nice letters or numbers so I'll have to try a few sites and see what I can find.
Did get some pretty paper though and made a kitchen organiser..........old corked backed place mat with shopping list on, calendar and post it notes so least I got something done.

Mummyroysof3 It always feels like im not spending 'real' money if I just spend whats in my paypal account, maybe thats my brain trying to find a way of making it acceptable to keep spending :rotfl:

ETA: The kitchen organiser sounds nice Mary-op I think someone needs to do a tutorial :rotfl:
