    Hi - Can I join in? Have read through this thread & am busy making things for the school christmas fayre. It's really inspired me. So far I've done reindeer flannels, snowman soup, reindeer food & reindeer poo. Have some ES mints to "do" next. Just thought I'd mention that I'd followed Vivw's link to graftoncrafts website & got a 1.5" punch - ordered on tuesday morning & delivered today. They now have 2" scalloped ones in stock again so have ordered one of those too. Excellent service & good prices (& I have no connection with the company at all). Thanks to flyingpig for starting such a great thread.

    Wow li'l_p - your baubles look fab, well done!!

    Keiss 21 - love the cut out idea for the ES mints, looks great.

    I've been making tags for my flannel reindeers today and just made some cookie cutter packs with a recipe for cookies in the packet. Will take some pics tomorrow, need to do the top bit to go over the bag top now and the same for my magnetic pegs as well.

    I want to do some kitchen organiser type things but not keen to shell out for mountboard as it's costly!!! Trying to think of a cheaper alternative!

    Hi PONR - can't wait to see what you've made. I got my mountboard off ebay - does this help works out just over 50p a sheet and free postage. Seen some for £7.50 for 25 sheets, which I thought about getting, so if you want to share let me know and I am sure we can sort something out ;). You know where I hang out :rotfl:

    Fab makes everyone, love the baubles Li'l_p.
    2016 is the year I am going to find time for me, and cherish the time I spend with my friends and family.
    It is also time to save - Aim £4,000 - So far this year - £230/£4,000

    My oh says i have too much already but he nearly choked today i had 2 more parcels delivered. One was the mountboard and it seems really good . The other was goodies from the sale at imag-e-nation the stamps for a pound are fab i got one set of each one they had left which was all but one . :rotfl:

    The good news is we have a craft fair next friday so hopefully everything will be made up and ready to go . Just need it to sell then.

    i wonder if I can ask a favour - where in this long thread can I find the reindeer flannels - I really like the sound of them
    We don't need to do it perfectly - good enough is exactly that GOOD ENOUGH.
