    How about this for a start. I am not the best poet.

    Cook theses brownies on Christmas eve
    Then out for Santa you can leave
    Morsels of loveliness with love and kisses
    With the hope that he grants your Christmas wishes


    If you have been good Santa will love your food
    and will leave you gifts and a festive mood

    But If you have been bad thru this last year
    Santa will not be happy .... no fear!

    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


    No problem Sarah glad you can make use of them:D.

    I have the JLM sealer. It is great but at about £40 you need to be using it for sealing food in general as well (which i do). You can buy mini ones that are about £5 though that take batteries i think.

    Cuddles sorry i forgot to mention it was your poem (infact i forgot who's it was:o) thanks x x

    :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:

    You've just described my life there... I normally have my decorations up on 1st December... I'll probably only get chance to do them this Sunday... I've only bought a couple pressies... most of my xmas shopping will be during the last week before Christmas....AAARRGGH! :eek:
    :T*Thanks to all who posts comps * :j
