On the hunt for chocolate sultanas today ( I really must get a life!) I found some half price marshmallows in Wilkinsons - the big ones. I'm doing snowman soup for the school Christmas fair this weekend and thought I'd do Snowman Poop as well but now I've got myself in a tizz. Can I really use the pink marshmallows for that or just the white ones (see I told you I should get a life!) Surely only very poorly snowmen would have pink poop!

If I can't bring myself to put the pink ones in, are there any other ideas that I could market them under. They're not really red enough to be reinderr noses.

I need help!

Pink marshmallows are Fairy Poop! x

They must be big fairies! Is there a rhyme for fairy poop - better get googing

I hear that you've been naughty.
So listen, here's the scoop.
Instead of getting gifts this year,
You're getting Christmas Fairy poop!

I've been to Wilkinson today and bought jotters, pens and calendars and some cheap wooden pegs 47p a pack. I also got a set of 10 plastic Christmas shape cutters in Instore/Poundstretcher for approx £1.49 - how much are people selling the packs of peg magnets for and how many are you putting in a pack??

I made this pot of gold at the weekend also - need to add a couple more bits and a few gold scratch cards but I'm really pleased with it!!!

I love to have festive products in my bathroom, but they are usually quite small and expensive .... so this year I have got a large white bottle of foam bath and decorated it myself.

It's a bit of an experiment so I am not sure how much bathroom wear and tear it will take but to be honest I only need it to last from Christmas Eve till New Year's Eve.

I've peeled the original label off, then cut out pictures (they are the same as my new snowman soup) and added a few self adhesive letters and then varnished over it all with "hopefully" a waterproof crafters varnish/glue called Modge Podge.



I'm going to experiment with a few plastic stickers too and I'll post the results of my experiments when they are done.

Lovin' the fairy poop idea but i have white marshmallows (snowman poop) and beige coloured marsh mallows...any ideas appreciated please.
Sorry if it's already been asked but where on ebay-9or anywhere else for that matter) can i get cellophane bags and what size please for the various poops-do i need square or cone shaped? help please, i'm a real novice at this-never done proper crafting before and i'm itching to have a go!!!
