    Just thought I'd post up 4 more kitchen organisers I have made for christmas presents this year:

    A couple more to go then they are all done. Love the different papers I have used, but found I am limited on the colour post-it notes I have found. Has anyone seen any cream or white ones on their travels?


    I have made a couple of these and made a little cover for the post it notes as didn't have a matching colour.

    I've chosen not to draw the heart but I've put a single pale blue gem on the lower branch. the other gems are clear. You can't see in the pic but I've also glued white glitter along the line of the fence and along the bottom.
    Not bad - my card and the white paper don't match and I think it would look better as a square card but I can't afford to spend any more money on this so this is how it will be, like it or not.

    Wow that is stunning well done.

    Emma - I did a tutorial for 2 flannels in a brown cupcake case. It can be seen here on the first post. I believe I was the only one at the time who could get 2 flannels into one of the cases!!


    Oh my goodness they are all so good!!!!
    Has anyone got muffin cases from anywhere else aside from Malaysia?
    Where would be the best place for flannels in your vast experience?

  • i have managed to get some of the sainsburys chocs they only just fit in the scalloped circle - i have got a few other bargains too - just editing pics and uploaded them to my HP then i will post some pics here
  • i like to use the really nice egyptian flannels in mine, you can only get one in a case as they are so nice and flufft but they feel really expensive!!

    I have only got my cases from china or somewhere but they were cheap and didn't take long to arrive

    Bitsy - love the card you've done:T

    CT - I'm gobsmacked with the kitchen organisers........they're brilliant:T You do seem to have a nack with picking the right colours.
    I've only done two this year but looking at my placemats I think they could do with being re-vamped..............been doing beer mat calendars this morning since OH came back from the pub last night with a handful.............lol -but mainly just using up some odd papers. Need to get some magnets -where do I get them from?, (the strip sort I'm after )
    I would be unstoppable if only I could get started !
