You surely can -
Reindeer Face Cloths £2.25
Princess and Cheeky Monkey smoothie cups £2.50
Snowman soup (with whisk and candy cane attached) £2
cupcakes - sock and face cloth - £2
Reindeer food 50p
Bags of sweets 50p
Elf walking sticks £1 - 8 mini canes in a bag

Also took glow sticks £1 a pakc only sold handful, the perfect man gingerbread with two in - sold only a couple 50p - the most expensive (!?) stuff went better to be honest -

I am going to send out some samples to rid me of the rest now - I wont have any time to make a mass before xmas now what with kids/work/xmas shopping - Ill just keep my hand in with small things for me and gifts no fayres!

Emmamumof2 - can I ask what you put in your smoothie cups.

To all you crafty people - many thanks for the inspiration.
I have lots of enthusiasm - shame my bank balance doesn't match it!

Do something constructive like . . . . more crafting ready for that much better attended re-arranged craft fair!

They have said they are going to rearrange it, I just don't think I will be able to do it unless they make it the last Sat before Christmas as I am busy every other one

hi there, sorry been busy at work so haven't had much time to post.

some lovely makes there. ove the idea of a wineglass with charm and party poppers , might adapt that for some friends.

have made some snowman poop which i donated to the school fete.
some sour cream cartons (is that what they're called?) for ds's party bags but they have come unstuck. i used double sided sticky tape- would glue be beter?

I have a craft session with the library on Tuesday but cannot find any reindeer stickers or nice snowman stickers so thought i would print some off the internet and cut out but am drawing a blank.
Any websites recommended where i can down load some?
Will post some pictures in the week too

I used Pritt stick for mine and they' stuck fine. I did put pegs on each of the corners whilst they dried. you're not overfilling the cartons are you?

Sorry can't help with the reindeer or snowmen

Hi Everyone
Just in to update as ,my house is in a mess!!! Despite the snow, I made it to my craft fair, I took the bug the kids had through the week so was off work on Friday in bed all day and still had loads to do. After the car boot last weekend, I never made any more ES mints and today I sold out of them!!! Whilst I was there, a woman said there was another craft fair on 11th at her primary school, and gave me the telephone number of the woman who is running it so I was pleased. Here is what I sold in 3 hours today

18 x snowman soup cones
9 x snowman soup bags
9 x ES mints (4 in bag)
1 x Snow balls
5 reindeer food
12 x T bag Cards
14 x coffee cards
20 x doggy bags
2 x pots of gold
10 x CDM bags

I made more here than at the car boot and it was much nicer and better set out and the stall cost me £10. :j

If I get a place at the next school one, it will cost me £5 and now I know what sells, I know what to make more of and what not to make any more of! The downside is, the money I made paid for new brake discs and pads for my car :mad:

Maybe next fair, I will get to keep it for myself, I have around £70 to gather in with the orders placed from my sample box

I hope the snow stays off for you all after all your hard work and you manage to get to your craft fairs and sell plenty!!
