Christmas Crafting Ideas by Flyingpig - Its Good To Share.

I ♥ the emergency choc! What a good idea!

I had my first craft fair stall of the season tonight. It was really successful. I took approx £175 (the stall only cost £5). I nearly sold out of sock monkeys which were probably my best sellers. The sock cupcakes were very popular. The peg magnets didn't sell as well as I'd expect though (I think I only sold 3 packs).

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???

How about the one with batteries that has a label "Gift not included" ?

put some photos of my es mints on facebook , within half an hour one of my customers sent me a text asking how much
we talked details and she said she'd be in touch
yesterday she ordered 17 packets !!!!
I counted how many bags I had left and there were 17 - how lucky !!!!
luckily I stopped eating the es mints in case someone ordered some so just about had enough ha ha ha ha

The frame measures 10 x 10 inches and is from Ikea (here).

I bought mine from a car boot sale, but have tapped in the product code off the back and found that Ikea do still stock them at £6.99 each (ouch, mine was only 20p!).

The letters were from ebay, 0.75 inch high, Arial Black from seller woozinator. I messed up at first because I ordered the 1 inch high letters, which were too big, but re-ordered at slightly smaller 3/4 inch high and they were spot on.

Really pleased with it!
