BUT I have found some Woodware stamps on ebay for £5 - but just wanted peoples opinions on them before I buy them!

I have them, they are great, good quality and do exactly the same job as the much more expensive SU ones IMHO
(I think you mean punches?)

I put some marshmallows etc in self sealing bags last october for a craft fair and my grandsons had some of them at the christmas and they were fine. Just make sure most of the air is out.

I have the woodware punches and the stampin up ones and there isn't that much difference the woodware are slightly bigger but it's not really noticeable and they still fit the pretzel bags. i punched some woodware ones out to try for size for rusty the other day .

Well so much for all my makes for my week off. The only thing I have managed to do is 1 door hanger (the plan was 4) I'm planning to make them as an Extra to my gifts and use as gft tags.

My nephew is mad on Fishing so this is his

I have been lurking for a while and have plans to get crafting this week.

But thought I'd mention that I saw some Elizabeth Shaw mints/choc orange etc discs in Lidl today for £2.09 and they also have lots of christmas hollow figure chocolates in santas etc and also very cheap chocolate raisins!

Fab makes everyone. Well done on your sales Hollie.

Buy popular demand having been asked a few times for a tutorial on the kitchen organisers I make I have done a bit of a tutorial on how to make one up.

I've just added it to my blog under 'Choccy's Challenge', just under the photo of the pink; brown and cream one I made yesterday.

No pictures yet, until I have made another one up, so if you have any questions, give me a shout.

For my poop and reindeer food I've used "card wallets" from the Works. Perfect size, self seal and 50 for 99p :T



Hollie I am being a real nosey so and so but what's the best way to make a living from something like this? Do you sell much of your goods online (I love Folksy ) or do you just do a lot of craft fairs etc? I confess I've found all lot of the crafting very time consuming :eek: Working 2 full days a week and having 2 young children of my own as well as the house and garden to maintain.......goodness there aren't enough hours in the day.

Finished off my snowman soup last night and some of my bare tree cards today. I have a box full of goodies to sell at toddler group next week :eek: wish me luck!!!
Want to make some more cards and have to complete some orders for friends and my mum so the merry go round of madness continues :rotfl:

jakesmum - love the lolly flowers :T thanks for posting the tutorial.

BitsyBeans i dont make a huge profit, not as much as i would being at my old job but then again i was paid very well.
it varies from week to week but i dont have a website i use FB and i have nearly 700 fans and since i started this in jan i have only had 1 week that i havn't had an order so ive been very lucky.i have the best of both worlds,being at home with my children and doing something that i love.i dont do craft fairs as i simply wouldn't have the time with two children as i dont really have many people who can look after them.
im hoping to do fairs in the future but at the moment like i say its FB and word of mouth
