I think Perfect Man is a Gingerbread Man http://www.etsy.com/listing/62335040/the-perfect-man-digital-printable-good,
Fairy Soup is strawberry milkshake powder and Monkey soup is chocolate milkshake, mentioned somewhere on MSE.

perfect man is a ginger bread man with a quirky poem on the label, fairy soup is like snowman soup but with pink milkshake powder, pink marsmallows and white choc buttons, and the monkey gloop soup is chocolate milkshake powder, choc buttons and foam bananas, they are both made the same way as the snowman soup

Just thought I'd mention for those of you making sock puppets, I saw some great ones at a craft fayre today - and what made them even better than the standard ones was that the person who made them had added delicious smelling scents, lavender, etc. You may already know this tip but for those that don't, its a good idea.

I just know one of you super talented people will be able to help me......

I have a stash of Terry's chocolte oranges (those I managed to hide from DH!) and want to give them as presents this year to teachers etc. One teacher is mad keen on frogs so I would love to turn hers into a frog (I will be doing the others as reindeer) but I am having a mental block at the moment.

Anyone got any easy crafty ideas?

I know this is a box but........



Swap the orange for Green foil? pipe cleaners or foam for the legs and cotton wool balls and wiggly eyes for the eyes?

See...I just KNEW you were the font of all knowledge!! Thank you so much, it looks perfect, easy enough to make with DD but obvious enough that it is a frog - mine looked like a green box!

Hello all - I've finally finished a little sewing project - gifts for the teachers at my kids school. (Hope none of them are on here!) I adapted a Martha Stewart recipe for it. I'm quite proud of myself!

Hi,

I need your help crafting fans,

I saw a Big Shot for sale at our local garden centre which also stocks loads of stickers and bits and pieces and it was priced at £75.95 but there was a sticker on it that when you take it to the till they will take another tenner off making it £65.95.

Is this a good price? There was nothing wrong with it, they had a few and were all priced with the saving. I'm just wondering if I should get someone to buy me one for Christmas hint hint
