Can any of you lovelies help me with a funny snowman soup poem? Not very good at this sort of thing! Everything I'm trying seems to be something my youngest would write hehe

Snowman soup is very yummy
I promise you that its good for your tummy
Its better than beer for a start
At least I don't think it will make you frt

Spicy Prawn (love the name by the way ) I can't remember my poem I did last year. And I doubt if my sister kept the poem - unless she intends to use it as her own this year ... Your poem however, did make me giggle! It's good, sometimes simple is best.
Willow, would love to see your decoration, sounds like a good idea.
Lou, nice to see you on the thread, sorry to hear you are in hospital - but at least you can read with no interruptions Hope you are out soon and then you can get busy crafting!

I have it ... Let me find it ...

When its cold outside, stay in and hide.
Make snowman soup in a mug, then curl up for a hug.

I shall be delivering the pot back to whoe gave it to me for a refill as I loved it

Hi All,

Great makes by all! I did homemade hampers last year but they were more produce than crafty. My sister and I are sharing the hampers this year and she is better at the produce than I so I am doing the crafty bit.

I have got some great ideas from you all so thanks, but i really would like to know where you all get your card from?

I have heard Papermill but its a minimum £30 spend which bring the card stock up to £9.98 for between 70 -80 sheets of card of my own colour choice. Is this still the cheapest or is there any others?

Sorry that my first post is an ask but I promise I'll put some of my makes up afterwards.

Thanks in advance

MrsD

These are a few things I made the year before -

Snowman Soup


Reindeer Poop - chocolate raisins


Santa's Sweetie Smoothie - this is a smoothie cup filled with different sweets and a "straw"


Snowman Kisses - mint imperials


Santa Kisses - jelly beans


Cheeky Monkey Milkshake - this is the same principle as snowman soup, but its chocolate milkshake powder, banana sweets and mini marshmallows in a smoothie cup -


Princess Milkshake - again, same as above, but strawberry milkshake powder, white chocolate buttons and mini marshmallows
