I love those Yes/No dolls especially for 49p. No Home Bargains shop down here in the south though .

All these hampers are so good and Kisto I love your sweetie buckets:T . Fingers crossed they sell like "hot cakes" at the school! lol

Thanks for all the kind comments everyone. Very much appreciated. I've never been brave enough to sell my canvasses before. I started off doing them as some therapy really, but everyone keeps telling me they'd sell so I'm finally giving it a go (need the cash for sure). Very nervous about it though. I won't be selling the huge painting of the guy smoking as it's not very appropriate for a school fair me thinks!!

The black and white one you noticed Sallys Savings, is not actually a canvas, but pen and ink on white card. One of my personal faves, and it won't be sold (as it's hung on my dining room wall)!

I've got six hampers made up so far. Once the cellophane and bows arrive I'll get some piccies of them done.

Wilkinsons, it was £2.99, they had them in a paler colour too, I have been searching everywhere for something like that, I think the whole world is using them this year!!:D

@shopaholic...I have the same basket that you used for your sister, can I ask how hard it was to wrap it?? I am badly stuggling with mine :mad: :mad: lol Its such a large basket yet I cant seem to get enough wrapping paper equal each side in order to scrunch it up at the sides, can you let me know how you done yours please?

Thanks in advance
