Can I just say for the record I am now officially sick of the sight of ES mints :rotfl: I've decorated nearly 6 boxes of the bloomin' things. No more. I am going to eat the half a box that's left as a reward, not touched a single one since I started

Im with you on that, ive spent the night decorating bloomin ES mints! hate scissors, hate circles and hate bloomin ES MINTS!!

Hi All

Saturday went a bit better for me! Our stall looked alot better also so I was pleased! Considering the weather wasn't great!

I have managed to get into a school fair this month so im looking forward to that! it will be the first school fair i will have done! so fingers crossed.

hope your all having fun with your makes!

I am thinking of doing Reindeer food as it seems quite popular! ive heard a few ways of doing this, what do you all do?? not sure what to put it into either! anyone got any pics of theirs?

Ive used edible glitter and oatmeal when Ive previously made it. There are loads of piccies of reindeer food people have made on this thread if you do a search.

Well i have been experimenting last night with a few things. I haven't had chance to take photo's yet as i had to leave everything to complete the fabric/paper advent i was making for my little Girl. Anyway when i get home later i will take some pics of The new doggy treats with a "with love from Santa Paws" header, Santa's False teeth sweet bags and bags of christmas kisses.

Mrs Greentoad hope the labels reach you ok i posted them yesterday 1st class x

Curly07, there are some pics of my reindeer food on my homepage if you want to have a look. I used oats and hundreds and thousands as the edible glitter I found to be quite expensive. Normal glitter can be harmful to the reindeer's (or any wildlife that will eat it off the ground)

Don't think my fair on Saturday is going to happen looking at the weather!!

Curly - I used oats and sugar coloured with food colouring (did red, green and yellow). I'd have loved to use edible glitter (although I am not 100% convinced non toxic is actually the same thing as edible ) the price totally put me off. It actually see the glitter in a bag of food I'd have to be using a fair amount and I couldn't justify the cost for such little return

Everyone still seems busy, I went to our school christmas fair last night there was hardly any handmade things there. If I'd been able to sell things there I think it would have gone really well, but unfortunately we have to have business licenses here.

Anyway I am sorry to say the sun is still shining and its been 26 degrees today, so when I hear a Christmas song it feels all wrong. The last few days I have been making these menu and table cards for the ladies Christmas function here, I have been doing so for the last 2yrs and in previous places also.


I have used my sizzix snowflake die, corner punch, some glitter card and gift wrap. I love looking at different gift wraps to use on cards.
This year I seemed to have a big problem with things not sticking. The centre is a picnik frame printed on photo paper.

(I will be taking my pritt stick tonight in case I see any coming unstuck as long as I don't get it muddled with my lippy)
