I ordered them too and they are great, ordered about 2pm and they arrived in the morning post.

Just made 20 bags of ES mints for the school fair, have packaged them in 2's

No 2" scalloped circle punches left on that site - they must be popular!

This has probably been asked a horrific number of times in this thread- but it is over 100 pages long and I cannot bear to look through- where do you all get your cello/sweet bags from? Ebay? If so, please send me a link : ) x

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.

:jWoohoo! :j £3200 raised for the pta at the winter fair yesterday :j

not all by the homemade stall I hasten to add but we made a significant contribution

I was thinking the same thing yesterday all these sites that sell the scalloped and round punches that are now selling them quicker than they can re stock them must be wondering what on earth is going on lol
finally got mine yesterday so spent a lovely few hours making my mints lol
will post photos later
my favourite are still the baubles though can't wait to give them out at christmas

Might be an ideal to put this info on your first post then we can direct people back to it easily as you seem to be asked this alot by myself included!!!!:rotfl:

I ordered my scallop punch from JDG Crafts on Thursday so I am hoping it will arrive tomorrow. I also ordered some red Stickles as at £1.43 a bottle, it's a bargain!!! I ordered a small sizzix wedding cake die also that was cheaper than it was on ebay!!!!

I have my ES mints unopened waiting for my punch to arrive!!! I cannot open them else I will start to eat them. I have not been able to get the milk choc ones anywhere on offer so just have dark orange and mint ones. Anyone else managed to get the milk ones cheap??

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.

Not sure if anyone has replied to you re setting up on FB but I will message you on there to try to help.
