    Thanks Mary - enjoyed doing them.
    I'm covering CDM miniatures and mini Ritter bars and personalising for all the ladies and I'm thinking of using them as gift tags.

    I have also made 5 Cat Doorstops 2 Taggies 2 Sock Clowns and loads of Tissue Holders. Am planning a Home Made Christmas.

    Fantastic makes cuddles!! Love the penguin decorations :T

    CT Thanks for the tutorial, I'll have to give them a go eventually!


    Jo.g Sounds like you got some bargains at the Range

    Well almost got the office sorted out, been putting desks together today and a bit of sorting out...a lot more sorting out is needed though lol. Far too many cross stitch magazines.

    I need to sit on my hands though as I am so tempted to buy a cricut create from create and craft, I know I could probably get it cheaper else where but the flexi pay option is sooooo tempting :o
    Worried I'll get it and not use it much though, has anyone else got one and do you use it a lot?
