You use 2 cones from what I have seen. One for the choc, which you then seal/tie off, and place in another, with the choc chips and marshmallows on top of that hiding the tie.

Add the whistles and bows, poem/tag and candy cane et Volia!!!

good luck on your fairs today

i didnt want to price myself too much yesterday because my fair was in an area that people dont want to pay too much for stuff.

i bought my flannels/socks from a glitch on the grabbits. they worked out at 6 pairs of socks for £1 or 12 flannels for £1.40 (approx). the bags were 2p each (the works), the bath pearl was from the sale in jan, i think it was £2 for 30. and the case i bought hundreds last year from ebay i wanted a variety of colours and think i bought 5 varieties, 50 of each(same seller for postage discount)

so approx
flannel 12p
bag 2p
bath pearl 7p
case?

someone is going to sell some stuff for me at a fair next week and will be selling for £1 each

I've been asked to make something for someone (male) that has everything... a lady has seen my novelty items (snowman poop, reindeer poop, snowman soups, etc) and has asked me to 'make something' for her, for him.

I'm stumped. The only thing I can think of is a jar of nothing perhaps???

Any ideas???

Just thought I would share this that I have been working on for my friend, who like many of us is a chocaholic. I saw the idea on a forum ages ago and it was only over the summer that I picked up some box frames and thought that I could recreate the idea.

The letters were custom made, and then all I added was some black mount board for the back and the bar of chocolate.



Sorry the picture is a bit slanty - I had to try and take it on an angle as the glass was reflecting the window!

ETA: The frame is originally from Ikea although I got mine from a boot sale; they may still stock this type of frame or something similar.

Some quite cute Christmas labels here and loads more here (the angry chicken ones are brilliant!)

Not sure exactly what size they print at but scalloped circle ones might be quite good for the 2" scalloped punches. Here are only some of the selection. If you hit the autofill button you can fill in your name etc before printing.

I was looking for pics of amgry chickens just then... lol. They are the cutest tags aren't they!
