A little treat this time of year

Hi All :wave:
What soap do you all use for your reindeer flannel as I imagine that could turn out costly to make?

I get 4 palmolive bars for a £1 at the £1 shop im sure I read that if your selling them you must write the soap ingredients on the outside of your packaging.

Is that right ladies or am I just making rules up now?

Yes you do have to have a list of the ingredients on there if you take them out of the wrapping

so glad I found this thread. Lots of ideas for making gifts this year

Thinking that I may make all the gifts for my parents, as they always moan about the money I spend on them, lol... so will make something, (already making the christmas cakes for everyone :S )

Great thread and your blogs amazing Helen.
I thought I would share a web discovery today http://www.vickiblackwell.com/index.html

I've already tried some snowman kisses pyramids and then the stupid printer ran out of colour ink, grrr, and I'm gonna have a try at the sitting snowman. Some of the stationery is amazing, I think I'm gonna find a use for them.

A lot of the site is just links to other websites but some if it is handy.

I was going to make some out of coloured icing and was thinking about looking at the halloween sweets to see if anything can be modified, last year I saw orange flump type sweets, I thought they could be sliced like sliced carrots maybe .... orange is soooooo hard!:rotfl:

ooooh I loved this thread last year! I haven't had the motivation to start Christmas yet but then some people at work have asked me to do a stall for charity in December and said they would help. Turns out they really liked the stuff I did last year... I'll have to dig the the supplies out!

this thread has a lot to answer for!!! not even half way through reading it all but i've bought a BigShot, some dies (still need to find somewhere with labels 4/8 in stock) and a Super BadgeIt!! Don't worry i havent just got them for xmassy things, i figured id get properly into crafting when i start my maternity leave in Feb

Everything you've all done has been amazing xx
