There all lovely. I see you done the reindeer food in the same boxes as me there a lovely little box i use mine for so much

I do love this box its so easy to put together and wanted to use something other than cello bags for the reindeer food so it was perfect!
Just need to print of the reindeer topper and am going to put it inside the lid.

Goint to do the cookie cutters tonight for those who wanted the poem I have found this one.

I made a plate of cookies;
And ate just 1 or 2;
But I started feeling guilty;
Because they were for you;
I went into a panic,
and ordered on the phone
This brand new cookie cutter
So you can make your very own!!
Merry Christmas

Dont know if this is of any use to anyone but whilst shopping in m&s i noticed a few off there xmas food stuff half price. Including these, which i have no idea what to do with but again, they are cutie! £1.50 and theres quite a few in the pack.




And this huge bar of chocolate only £1.50 (Nothing crafty for me, a treat for me!)

well i didnt manage to get much from our local cheapy shop so shall either have to order from ebay or have a look in tesco, im after some cello bags just dont know what size to get and wanted some clear plastic disposable cups for my pots of gold and some stickers to put on the labels on the bags

Those of you who are making snowman soup Tesco currently have bags of mini marshmallows on 3 for 2 which when you buy 3 bags works out at just over 72p per bag. Ideal for me as the nearest Lidl is a 10+ drive away, the cost in petrol negates any savings.

Edited - B*ggeration. Nipped up there and typical only got the massive bags which I've had to buy (3 for £2 a saving of 8p!). Check the home baking aisle as well as confectionary. Grrrrrrr.

On the plus side I asked at the local soft play group if I could take in a box of my goodies to sell and they were happy for me to Just got to get all the bloomin' stuff made now!!!

Hi,
I have been following this thread for several weeks and am addicted:D
Today I was in Matalan and they have some beautiful gift tags, 20 for £1.50 they are about 2" square with a santa,reindeer,penguin or snowman on, this is attached to the background (like a one layer decoupage?) and have tasteful amounts of glitter on:D
I thought those of you who are doing toppers and things would like them:D
Also they usually do a 3 for 2 offer with their christmas stuff but not started yet.
I also got a beautiful red box with a santa jacket type lid, it is for my elf to live in, but would be ideal for storing so much of your craft things in. It is £3 atm.

Hi everyone,

Some really nice makes again today!!

I went to start making my humbug cartons then realised I didnt have a brown felt tip pen (every colour but!), anyway I then made some of the cartons with red card and decorated with glitter glue etc... to use as gift boxes for presents very pleased with them.

Have slowed down with the crafting at the minute though, just never seem to have time!!

Cadbury's have emailed me back.
The Cadbury world shop is open to the general public but from 15th Nov is CLOSED on a Monday and a Friday. They do stock the minatures at a cost of £1.35. What do they normally sell for?

So if you're desperate and live in the vicinity of Bournville (lucky you it's a lovely quaint place) they are yours for the taking.

Not sure I can be bothered when I factor in the cost of pretrol.....

Thank you for this, I live about 10 miles from Birmingham, and planning on going in a couple of weeks to do some Christmas shopping so if our HB hasnt got them by then I may have to persuade OH to make a slight detour :rotfl:
Hoping they will have them in HB by then though as I am only making them for family etc not to sell so dont want to go too far out my way.
