Ddraig - if you only need a small number and you are happy with medium cello cones PM me and Ill send you a handful - I ordered 200 a few weeks ago so a few wont make too much of a dint!!!!

Emma who was your seller as I too have decided to make some soup.
Your offer was kind & well intended as was the reminder (though we don't all do as we are told), no need to worry.

I had purchased some that didnt arrive - but not the fault of the seller they had proof of postage - Ill dig out the name of the person I bought some from later!
There are protocols for everything these days! I appreciate its for protection but such a shame!

The Lady who wanted them wanted them for children so couldn't be anything that would break so it was all I could find at short notice as hobbycraft had no gold pots left.

Flyingpig - Fab cards, I bought some 3D gift tags from matalan 20 for £1.50 which I thought were a steal

JoG - Lovely beaded snowflake

I received my SU punches this afternoon (thanks Craftfairy) so have been busy making these




Run out of bags now so need to order some from ebay.

Just spent an hour stamping up some more cards and they look carp Just not in the mood for it tonight (am tired and very ratty ) Have torn them all up and binned them as they're just no good.
Anyway I hope tomorrow is better.........

Hi, I'm new to the board but have been lurking for a while:hello:. I just wanted to thank you all for such inspiring crafting. I tend to catch up on posts and ideas in the middle of the night, after feeding my baby, when I can't get back to sleep!

I've been collecting a couple of ideas and am ready to start making a few things in the evenings mainly as gifts rather than to sell!

This evening is the first in a long time that I've got crafty! My bargain gift for part of my god-daughters birthday present-cupcake facecloth-she's about to turn 5 and loves pink and cake!

The last 50p pink fluffy face cloth from Dunelm Mill, rolled into a cupcake.
Have used a red sparkly star hairband(pack of 4 reduced from Sainsbury's) for the 'cherry'.
Made my own cupcake wrapper using an orange, pink and lime design sheet of scrap book paper(29p, reduced, from Hobbycraft)
Wrapped in cellophane(have had a roll for ages that is always great for gifts so FREE!)
Tied with lilac curly ribbon(500 metre ree, not been used, found in the charity shop-99p!)

I know a few of you are making the cupcakes-the wrapper was really easy to make. I played around with a few templates I made online but in the end they didn't work so created my own. If anyone wants to know I'm happy to try and explain!

I just wanted to share really-I feel so relaxed for just an hour of 'tinkering' :T! Intending to make the round mint chocolates to hang on our tree and the hot chocolate spoons.

My idea for my husbands present from the kids is inspired by the pint glasses mentioned on here-have some glass paints I haven't used for a while, so will add a logo and 'Daddy's a Genius' to a glass. Then fill with Maltesers, topped with the Milkway 'nuggets' to create his own pint of Guiness!:D

As well as Christmas I have my son's birthday approaching.He's having a Mr Tumble party! I'd already decided to make the sour cream cartons to fill with sweets, after seeing them online ages ago. Have got some jellybeans from Aldi and will split them into small amounts to make little bags of Mr Tumbles Jumping Beans!

Anyway enough wittering from me-just wanted to say a big thank you reallyand to 'de-lurk'.
