I think I've sent the Gingerbread Man poem to everyone who has sent me their email address.

If anyone hasn't received it, can you PM me please?

However, prior to being carried fireman style out of the shop (OK not true but he did threaten to!) I did manage to snaffle a reindeer bell ring which I plan to cut up to use the bells for my elf boots though!

I've done that too, Angela. The bells work out cheaper than the local craft or haberdashery shops.

Here is my first Bah Humbug. I've changed it slightly since the photo and added little dashes around the edge of the label. The card I have bought is too thick though, never mind at least they stand up ok :rotfl: I bought a Promarker to do the stripes as I don't have a colour printer. That's yet another thing to add to the wish list, along with a Big Shot of course!

Good morning ladies, hope everyone is feeling well and crafty today. I've spent last night making the 3rd origami table centrepiece and have now got a left hand covered in plasters after slicing a finger open with a pair of scissors and then catching my thumb on the end of the cellotape dispensor!
A word of warning to others, it seems it is NOT a good idea to try and dig a hole in a pine cone yur holding in your hand with the point of a pair of scissors!

Lesson duly learned by me :doh:

EEEEEKKKKK!!! :eek: I guess its one of the many perils of crafting, JakesMum. I must say I do love your origami centre-pieces, would love to make one for Christmas, as we are stealing my sister's house, as she is away for Christmas, and a big house has more space than a lil flat

looool, I'm thinking of telling people that im so dedicated to my work that i felt it needed real blood and tears mixed in with the sweat of making it for them

Def give it a try as its relatively easy to make, i have the link to the instructions for the flowers if you want it, everything else was bought from the shops (all the greenery is tesco value wreaths cut up )

This site has lots of blank writing frames (and lots of other great stuff) http://www.sparklebox.co.uk/topic/fest/xmas/activities.html

There was a lot of controversy over the site though, as the original founder of the site is now in prison for child-!!!!!! related offences. Some LEA still wont allow their schools to use it. The new owners have no links to the previous but thought that I should warn you anyway.

on this page there are Cristmas Theme writing frames without any text http://www.sparklebox.co.uk/topic/fest/xmas/topic.html
