    Thats lovely Rainmac, and the door hanger just finishes it off perfectly!!!

    My papers finally arrived so once the children are in bed I am going to try and get them done and dusted. Will take pics once done :) I might even finish off the tea trays I did the other week. Ended up breaking it all up ready to start again but now I am ready to get them wrapped etc. Just need to find somewhere to put them when wrapped. But I know that I have 4 presents done and dusted. :)

    Thanks Rusty, I'm trying to get to the position where I have whole presents finished and wrapped too. I'm getting there with my chocolate baskets, think they will be my first finished Xmas pressies :D

    I want to get things wrapped so I won't be tempted to keep buying more bits to pop in :p

    I am having this problem at the minute! I knew I had bought stuff for the 2 pics above but when I thought about what I bought I didn't think there was enough ... I had some brown paper which came in parcels from works (I sell childrens books) and I used this to step up the bottom of the baskets.

    I know in ther cupboards upstairs there is my sons birthday presents (september) Just need to buy him a DS then thats all sorted but my dads is just before my sons and he is hard to buy for!! apart from that I am moving slowly onto christmas!

    Why not MAKE a lavender scented wheatbag?

    You need lavender flowers, wheat, suitable fabric (cotton for microwaving)...job done!
