Well I have finally done it. Is has taken me about 2 weeks but I have finally read every single post and have now got my crafting mojo back. I have bought my pegs, ribbon and magnetic tape, I have ordered my cello cone bags and sorted my pints of socks. My boyfriend thinks I have lost the plot as I told him I was going home to paint some pegs!!:rotfl:Thanks for all of your help, hints and tips.

I have a craft box...I've had it for years and it's full to bursting with all sorts of paper, card, pastels, embellishments, punches and all the other carp that has crept in!:o
So the kids play with it and the stuff in it now and today i have bought myself a new craft box for all my crafty stuff-endeavouring to keep the kids out of it!!!;)

Sticky back plastic ? Like on blue peter lol.

I pasted what i needed onto a piece of paper cut to fit around and just overlap a little then put it through the laminator and fastened it on with double sided tape.


Just in case anyones interested on my homepage i have a post for a draw for 2 lots of blog candy it's drawn on the 17th and you just need to leave your name if you have problems adding it pm me and i'll do it for you . If this offends anyone let me know and i'll remove it . Just thought it might help those wanting more stash.

I'm sure no one will mind you mentioning this!!! Everybody loves Candy!!! I also have some on my homepage!!!!;)

My oh thinks i've lost the plot too but he doesn't complain when he gets all the thanks and lovely comments from people who recieve the stuff .
He does cringe a little at the cost of my stash habit but doesn't mind luckily . It was him who bought some of the blog candy for me to give. lol

Quick update - I'm exhausted and have a hot date with a chinese takeaway and a pack beer. - classy!
I know some people charge more but these were for the homemade stall at the school fair -all profits to the school so we priced them to sell.
Approx 60p profit on 'poop'
£1 profit on the snowman soup
75p per pack tree decs
etc.

Well done DTB - enjoy your chinese!

Flourgirl i love those boxes do you have any instructions as i'd love to give them a whirl.

Lil'p that si fantastic news:T. i am too scared to put any pics on my facebook or mention at work incase everyone who knows me thinks my makes are rubbish:o

Here is what i have made today

I designed the tags using picnik (i am seriously getting obsessed with the software!) and if anyone wants me to send them a copy of the tag just let me know.



This bag was made using a plain red value gift bag from Tesco (20p each 3 for 2 at the moment)

These are great !!!! Would I be able to have the tags...I'd love to do these for a group of friends I have. thank you

Just made toppers for my Snowman Soup.

Trying to find shaped toppers on ebay for my poop and noses but can't find the shape a lot of you use - curved and scalloped edges. Does it have a name please? Also the reindeers (close up of face)

I hate knowing exactly what I want and not being able to find it!
Can't justify buying a machine as I only need about 10 of each.

Fab news that you sold so much DTB - you really do deserve your takeaway and beer.

Fab makes cuddles, love the writting on the toppers. Just pm'd you about your search for toppers.

Can I ask a question. After Christmas I am thinking of setting up a shop on facebook to sell crafts and cards. If anyone has already done this can someone point me in the right direction of finding some information out on how to start a shop up. I've searched on f/b but not found any information.

Thanks to anyone who can help.
