Finished baskets!!

Shakespeare3

Hi all, this is my FIRST BASKET! it's just a small one for my sil birthday, (we don't spend much on birthdays).

I had a bit of a fight with the cellophane:eek: but I think I won in the end!!!:)

Cost £6 approx (All Botanics from bootsing!)
Value £15 approx

I can't wait to get started on my larger Christmas ones, I have a great stash of stuff already and I'm keeping an eye out for more bargains!

cookie - I haven't even looked at it yet but last weekend something was on the tele -politics most probably - and he said 'don;t get me started on that'............and couldn't understand why I was laughing. I got one for him and one for ex foster girls OH.....he's about as bad as my OH.................lol

Well done Shakespeare3 its beautiful. Have to agree with Cookiedough sometimes the smaller ones always look the best. Not sure why, possibly because they don't look so busy?

morning all

Well i am officially started ...........thnks to you guys. I went into matalan yesterday and got three of the chalkboard boxes- just love them, they are perfect for my 3 wee nephews. just need something to go in them now but working on that one. Whilst i was in town i did get 2 pairs of girls pjs reduced to £2.50 each and 2 pairs of bed/slouch about socks for £2.50. So theres a start for my two nieces. My friend told me that homebargins have some nice girlie looking mugs in at 79p each so i will have a look next time im in town. Intending putting hot choc, chocolate goodies of some sort , then anything i can get cheap in the make up line/nails stuff etc. I already feel that things are coming together.... Last week all i felt was the headache of finding pressies and paying for them. This week feels much nicer, relaxed.

thanks
