, unfortunately i the boxes where all damaged, they said i could return them to the store but because of the weather i have been unable to get to town, im now thinking is it easier to take them out of the boxes and wrap them up myself, anyone have any ideas???

you could just use cellophane to wrap them or make yourself a box using the old one as a template

How about putting baileys and mints in glass and wrapping in tissue paper and cellophane with some glitter/table confetti between the layers?

Sarah i have a copy of a topper for snowman poop and ruldolph noses on my blog that you can download straight from there. If you scroll down to catergories on the lefthand side and click on xmas then just scroll down until you come to it.

I can't help with the sealing question i'm afraid as i have a sealer so i use that but you could always use selfsealing cellophane bags instead.

Bitsy love your fab cards they are great.:D

Here are a few magnetic peg clips i have made. Its the first time i have tried them and i'm quite chuffed with how they have turned out.

They look fab Tina :j

Glad you like my poem too

Hi everyone
fab makes dizzytina
well ive spent the afternoon doing more orders as i have put that my deadline is the 10th so they have all come at once,would like a bit of time to myself as i havn't wrapped anything for the kids yet,wrote no cards out and done no hampers for family yet and im off to devon to the inlaws the weekend before xmas :eek: i have had to make up 24 snowman soup just for family members :rotfl: and had to order more cone bags 200 i have gone through so far and just ordered another 50

so is anyone else as unorganised as me because crafting for customers has taken over??

Dark chocolate - cheap one works fine
Extra strong mints

Bash up mints to bits
Melt chocolate
Stir mints in - spread on tray or use molds - fridge to set

Yummy after dinner mints - did these for Xmas last year and my folks were very impressed!!!!

I too would love to make theses the kids said they sounded yummy, but guess what three shops later and no sign of any extra strong mints. We may have the weather but shopping is very difficult sometimes.

well done to all successful I am very impressed with you all!

made some dog treat bags today with cone bags left from snowman soups, really chuffed with them!

going to get some labels made up now, and trying to figure out how to wrap my teacup candles....any ideas/?

Clara.xx

Hi been lurking for a while just loving the ideas, and have a suggestion for the teacup candles if they are for selling. Get a roll of cheap clear cellophane (from a florist - our sewing shop sometimes stocks it for £1 a go), cut a big square, gather up all the corners then wrap it with ribbon or that stuff you can curl wth scissors.

Looks almost professional & everyone can see your lovely candle. If for presents cut a square of wrapping paper the same size and put it pattern side down on top of the cellophane, then do the same thing.

Here's to a great Christmas.

:rotfl::rotfl:
I have my table top sale this Sunday I am drawing a line under it all and looking forward to my own Xmas. Unless people make orders then that's it. I want my dining room back to rights :eek:
I've written no cards, wrapped no pressies, not even sorted out cards for DS to take to friends for school.........:eek::eek:

Thank you so much Tina! I have downloaded a copy of both the reindeer noses and snowman poop. Very much appreciated.

The cello bags that I have come with a folding over part so I will put the tape on there and fold it over. If you don't mind me asking, what make of sealer do you have?

Thanks again
