Picture quality isnt great, but wanted some opinions. I dont have any of the proper equipment so did them all by the tutorial - I was really pleased with them. Havent done them to sell or anything just to pop in with families christmas presents as a bit of a stocking filler.
Well when I showed OH when he got home from work he laughed think he realised he upset me and told me they were great, but now I'm not sure.
I normally just make cards, not anything else and I'm thinking I should maybe just stick to that now!

I think they are fab! id be very pleased if i made them where did you get your bags?

Thanks guys should learn not to listen to OH really!! Just dont want everyone else to laugh when they open their gift bags and find those amongst their presents!

To be honest I found them in my craft box and they have been in their for ages so god knows where I got them from - sorry I cant be more helpful!!

Flower I think your sweetie bags are FAB and you should be proud of them. Men! huh! what do they know!!!!

Cotton Wool Katie. I love your Calendars, pretty paper too

Hollie Your tree decorations are great, Its always sooo difficult when it comes to pricing crafts, if you are selling them at a craft fair make 2 labels for your basket, one for 30p and another for 25p if there is no interest at 30p you can easily reduce the price to 25p or 5 for a pound.

Natalie i use c6 card bags and i get mine from ebay in bulk but wilkinson do them for a good price

Thanks for the link to the free colouring pages - they have lots of great pictures.

Flower08 - love your chocolate bags. Ignore your OH, he doesn't know what he is talking about they are fab, and everyone who receives them will love them. I stopped asking my OH ages ago what he thought about the things I make - mainly cards, but surprise surprise he expected me to make 2 cards for his mum's birthday next week. I've done them and am now thinking about charging him for them :rotfl:. Why do men, once they know they have upset you, think that a cuddle makes things better. Your reaction is the same as mine when my OH tries to make things better.

Hollie love your tree decorations, they are fab.

Kate your calender mats are gorgeous, love the one with the butterfly.

The bags are lovely Flower, ignore your OH, I just don't think men understand. My OH thinks I'm crazy too!

Flower08

Aww thanks everyone, made me feel a lot better about them!

CT19720 - think your right about charging for the cards!! OH still expects me to make cards for all his family, hmm i'm thinking £1.50 a card :rotfl:
