Hi All :wave:

Just getting a chance to get on, taking my table money off from the fayre on Saturday, I made £135. It was not as busy as last year (when we had all the heavy snow) and was on an hour longer, I was gutted that I only sold 3 of my flannel reindeer I was up until 4am making 30 of them :eek:.

ES Mints in a bag - Sold all 10
Cadbury Chocs in a bag - sold 15 out of 20
Snowman soup cones - sold 8 out of 24
Snowman soup bags - sold 23 out of 29
Cupcake flannels - sold 22 out of 30
T bag cards - sold 8 out of 10
Coffee Cards - sold 3 out of 10
Snow balls - sold 3 out of 20
Reindeer Poop - sold 3 out of 20
Magic Reindeer Food - think there was about 15 bags, sold them all

I never had time to make microfibre dogs although I have another small event this sunday In a dog grooming shop :rotfl: so I am hoping to get rid of more of the reindeer flannels, will put a pic of the table on when I get home as cannot upload from work .

Whatever I have left will be coming with me to a car boot, any flannels I have left will be getting wrapped in cello and boxed away for next year as the are too expensive to make to go to waste.

Good luck with the rest of your craft fayres, am going to have a wee gander to see if I can find any local fayres giong on as I don't want to be left with a load of stuff

wooo finally got the the end of the 180 pages! Just have a folder rammed full of bookmarks from sites and blogs that were mentioned to go through next - good use of my week off work!
Have got a lot of people to buy for and a minimal budget as I am trying to save for my wedding next year. Wasn't going to do any crafting this year, had done bath bombs and melts the past couple but the sweetie bags etc were easy enough and look effective - even OH is impressed with them. Need to learn to get an earlier start on Christmas!
Back at work today but on a late shift so don't start til 3pm and then have tomorrow off - think they are easing me back into work.
Adore the microfibre dogs and the cookie cutters, hadn't seen those before so will try and get them done this year (fingers crossed)
Got some lovely snowman and santa stickers out lidl a couple of days ago for 99p for about 70 stickers, got 3 sheets thinking that would be plenty and then found more ideas, ran out and by the next day they had no more stickers left Been really struggling to find them in town - any ideas of places online that are quite cheap for them with decent delivery times?
Not got any photos to share yet but am sure I will as I go on!
