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:

I prefer the Green too although they do look good close up. Where did you get the bags for them and what size are they please?

These bags are from The Works, they are called Card Wallets and I am using them from Reinderr food/poop to putting my cards into
The are 12cm wide by roughly 18.5 cm long. they are also self seal and you get 50 for 99p. A steal I think Can't take credit for finding them though. that belongs to another poster.

OK made 4 flannel reindeer quickly, I couldn't find my googly eyes and I couldn't be bothered to search in the kids craft stuff for suitable pom poms so I've made the eyes and the noses out of paper. I am awaiting my pipe cleaners stained with tea to dry before adding them.



How much cellophane do you wrap them in? I don't have any and will need to purchase some from HC.

And after all your comments I will make red (although it hurts my eyes LOL) and green


wookeyhole - your makes are lovely, where did you get the cups you have made your cup cakes from?

i got them off ebay when i made some last year and i had tonnes left over as i wanted to see the different styles so bought a batch of all of them off the same seller cause i combined p+p

I used Scholl relaxing foot marbles from Boots. They look like bath pearls but are fizzy when dropped in water to relax your feet. Very suitable for men as they make feet smell lovely.
