I do wonder if you could somehow make the mouse a reindeer, hmmm might try this one. Mice arent very christmassy, are they?

Might try to do a reindeer, the only reason I did mice is because my grandaughters asked for them .

andymandy - love your mouse, he's so cute!

I managed to pick up the half price mints in co-op today so I have made a start on some decorations, I have also made some calendars and an advent countdown which you can see on my blog!

Can someone point me in the right direction for the cookie cutter poems, I'm sure I saw it on this thread?!

Well done all -such fab makes:T

My effort today has been another kitchen organiser using old cork back placemat........now found out I need more post it notes:eek:
Covered a cheap diary........made bit of a pigs ear of it and got glue on the front and it won't come off:eek:
So, have to forage about to see what I can stick on the front to cover it up............if I'm not careful, cheap diary will end up not so cheap..............:)

He is adorable. And reindeer are a good idea too ... Someone who said they had lots of mini candy canes a wee while back, I was going to suggest somehow (dont ask how - this was just a random thought, that didnt come with instructions in my brain ... ) if they were stuck together, you could maybe make a rather funky coloured snowflake ...
Hmmm, not sure if it would work though ... And as I know I don't like candy canes, neither does the better half ... Im afraid I have noone to attempt said design for ...
Good luck if you do try it, but by all means dismiss it if you figure its a ridiculous idea!!! (I would lol)

Do you have a tutorial for covering diaries and notebooks please?

Is it 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

cuddles - sorry I don't. I've been doing mine for a few years but not very good at explaining how to do it. Think it was melissa from the card making thread who pointed me in the right direction but not sure.
I wonder if it might be an idea to have a thread for tutorials............there are so many different things to make, re-vamp ect and sometimes the tutorials get lost in a thread.

I'll have a look and see if I can find anything in my Favourites
