Thanks for the inspiration.

I have been acumulating stuff for hampers but have been a little afraid of actually doing it. I got a couple of good wicker baskets at a car boot at the weekend for 10p each so have got off to a good start with the packaging.

I am going to do one for each of the kids and for my Mum. I may also do one for OH.
