    Gorgeous reindeer flannels, snowman soup and the bars of chocolate look fab.

    Can you let me know what the poem is that you have added to the reindeer food please?
    2016 is the year I am going to find time for me, and cherish the time I spend with my friends and family.

    Hello all............my word what a lot has gone on since yesterday tea time.............such fab stuff.........sorry, can't remember who did a lot of it but mollie - cards are brilliant...........I've yet to do one for my son and he loves stuff thats a bit different.

    lil - love the idea of the body parts for the DIY snowman............my teenage grandkids will laugh their socks off.............lol:rotfl:

    Well done all of you :T

    Afraid my efforts are a bit sad by comparison.....fiddled about with mixtures of brown/cream socks this morning to create ''cup of socks''.........there must be a way of folding them so they fit in a cup that tapers at the bottom. Ive done them but they could be better I'm sure.
    Re-did my pint of Guiness that was a black scarf topped with a bath scrunchie............did it with black socks instead so it's a ''pint of socks'' and I'll add some buttons to the border of the scarf......it's plain black so could do with prettying up.

    Last night I did a Weather Wally (think that was on the crafting for christmas thread) then the 16yr old lad we look after wanted to have a go at one.......so, we did two...........:rotfl:
    Must stop getting any more ideas.........not enough hours in the day..............:rotfl:
    I would be unstoppable if only I could get started !

  • Hi CT, The poem is....

    Magic Reindeer Food
    sprinkle on your lawn at night,
    The moon will make it sparkle bright,
    As santas reindeer fly and roam
    This will guide them to your home
