    Let me know when you start playing with your robo, as I have a few templates for different boxes I could send you to try out if you like x
    2016 is the year I am going to find time for me, and cherish the time I spend with my friends and family.

    ooooh thank you. I'm hoping it will work out quicker than fiddling about cutting them by hand. Especially if i can get tony to use it for me . Well men are supposed to like gadgets.lol

    ... For those of you who use rubber stamps - what do you find is the best and cheapest thing to colour in the printed designs. ...

    I have Whispers brush pens, bought second hand from ebay; I love them so much I bought another set for my dgd; I paid less than half price for each set

    I've also used tesco cheapy gel pens and any old felt tip I can get my hands on - give it a bit of pizzazz with some glitter or embossing; you could try some cheapy watercolour pens

    My kids bought me loads of promarkers for my birthday this year and they're lush, but I still prefer my whispers ;)
    ... don't throw the string away. You always need string! :D

    Hiya Sangus, they are Reindeer Flannels, they contain a bar of wrapped soap (I used Imperial Leather). The only thing you have to remember is the soap must have a label which lists all the ingredients by law. (I stuck plain white labels to the back of my soap and wrote the ingredients from the outside wrapper).

    Heres the link which shows you how to make them, they are really really easy!! Trust me!! :Dhttp://www.kckpl.lib.ks.us/ys/CRAFTS/Ratrein.htm
    You're so very special, I wish I was special :dance:
