genieuk. They look fantastic!!! I saw those in our LIDL yesterday. I hope you don't mind me saying this, but I think I would have put 5 in a pack, if they come in packs of 11 thats 2 packs and 1 spare to taste I love the paper you have used it matches the chocolate wrapper perfectly. I have made a note in my ideas book for another time, thankyou.

Thanks I was thinking that because the bags are slightly bigger. I will open them later. I am having to hide everything as my kids keep putting things in their packed lunch boxes.

What did you cover your CDM miniatures with? I got 5 boxes and have no idea what to do, don't want to put them in as they are?? Or was thinking of putting them in my reindeer boxes as is?? I cannot get a stall on 27th as its not for an organisation so I need to get a !!!!!! load of stuff done for the indoor car boot on Sunday :eek: and when I finished work, got into the car, closed the door, my rear windscreen shattered so glad wee man wasn;t in the car as I pick him up straight after work. Its getting sorted ,tomorrow and thats me £70 lighter that I really could be doing without :mad:

I'm not really a crafter, so not the best person to ask. I bought a pad of craft paper which has glitter in (intended for children I think)
Just cut a piece long enough to cover the bar and wide enough to cover the paper but leave the foil showing. I used double sisded tape to fasten it on.
I'm putting letters on mine to spell out peoples names and hanging them on the gift bags.
HTH.

Mine arent as big as A5. They are half the size of A5 width ways but a little bit longer.

Edit: They are A6 (it was written on the packet the whole time. Doh!!)

Doh I am such a dumb blonde I meant to say my cards at A6

Loving all the new makes......if only I had the get up and go to get stuck in again. All my enthusiasm has disappeared. I suppose I am secretly worried that I won't sell anything Don't want to end up with shed loads of stuff that I can't shift for love nor money.

Was supposed to be taking a box load of stuff to local toddler group but DS is off school as he's been poorly. So plan of action is to head to same group but at a different location on Tuesday. Goodness I am bricking it.......why?! Why am I so worried that my stuff won't sell? Do I unconsciously doubt my skills? Never sold any stuff before so is it normal to feel this way?

I work 8-4 Mon-Fri but I am giong to ask my Childminder if she would take in some samples to the 2 x toddler groups she goes to with the children, I am sure she won't mind as I have helped her a lot with her childminding paperwork and things .

For those of you that don't know how to put photos on mse, this is how I do it - step by step - (originally on the Crafting for Christmas thread).

First set up an account with Photobucket and upload your photos to an album on there.

And to make sure that your pictures don't come on here too big reduce the file size as you put them on Photobucket. See this post here:

Thanks I have a flickr acount but for some reason yesterday and today I cannot use any of the buttons in the message box so that's why I am using code till it corrects itself. Always seems to some how....the wonder of technology but annoying when it doesn't work lol.

It is perfectly normal. We all doubt our own abilities and even when people say things look good we know every imperfection and worry about it.
I worry every time my stuff gets sold that no one will like it/ want it . The t bag cards i thought no one would get them if you know what i mean but every one sold.
I have another fair on friday and am really worried i will sell nothing as i've spent a fortune but everyone tells me not to worry so i'm trying not to.
