***New*** Thrifty Gifty Money Making for Christmas and all occasions 2011***

pffft not doing well on surveys today! managed 1800 on T anyway so thats one at least. Going to tidy the house a bit and have another trawl through, see if any new ones have turned up. I'm so close on ips 1 or 2 more surveys and I can redeem but they're not sending me any sob sob.

Realisticly (sp?? I'm tired...) October is probably the last chance to redeem in time for christmas shopping. I'm aiming to have everything bought and made by the end of November so then I can relax with a hot chocolate in front of the fire while admiring my beautiful christmas tree full of handmade decorations.... not quite sure if thats going to happen, but I can try!

I did spend some of my survey/ebay money on a maternity top from ebay, but it was only £2.99, all the rest is going on christmas I promise!

LOL. Pablos - It's your money. You do what you want with it. Come on then, what decorations are you making? I love doing things like that.

Karonher - some great advice there hun. I never really know what to suggest.

Chel - I hope things start to look up today for you. I can't believe how well I'm doing on Luny this week. I've had loads through. I'm hoping it rubs off on you.

i have no idea...all i have made so far is a knitted snowman and one lonely crochet snowflake. I have some felt upstairs somewhere, I might do the easy christmas tree stuffy option... I'll be lining my bedroom curtains with some fleece on the weekend (yup, I've been browsing the old style preparing for winter thread haha) so Ill have some offcuts then to use aswell. apart from that I have no idea...I'm hoping I'll sit down with my supplies and inspiration will hit!

Thanks for mentioning VO - my profile had dropped to 30% so I've updated it, and cashed out £20 in vouchers as I hadn't checked my balance for ages :j

Hope the poorlies feel better soon x

Well done a Skiergirl - I love it when that happens.

Pablos - they sound lovely. I've been looking at patterns to do some little cross stitch decorations but I never seem to have the time.

I've just taken DD to the local garden centre, to get some fresh air more than anything, and today was the day they unveiled all the Christmas stuff. I feel all Christmassy now. I bought one decoration, and a couple of Yankee Candle Tarts, and DD bought me a candle for CHristmas. If you see the Cherries on Snow fragrance anywhere - give it a sniff, It's divine. As it was the first day, we got 20% off, so I'm happy.

ETA: I've just looked and my new food processor isn't added, so I've just asked them to hurry it through. Fingers crossed.

Hi eveyone

Sparkly - pester away about the sewing xx

Elysia - I can't find the gel, can you pm me a link when you get time please? Thanks for doing it for me. Dont worry I have found it ( well I think its the one you put on lol, I have copied the review over anyway xx
I came online this morning, did my emails then my brain went dead and I didnt know what on earth I was supposed to be doing. Forgot all about coming on here even, well weird. I had quite a few surveys and went over the £2.50 but I can't remember where they were from lol. I must have had one eye on the tele or something.

I was sewing again this afternoon, made YD some bunting with her name on for Christmas, will get a photo done tomorrow when the light's a bit better and I can hang it up somewhere. Also finished off the machine sewing on 7 shoulder bags I have been making. I just need to hand sew in the linings this evening.
