BMF - I think you can do snowman soup how you fancy - I'm doing it for my son and not sure he's a cappacino fan (otherwise he could have a sachet of mine.......lol) so I'm popping in a sachet of drinking chocolate, some chocolate sprinkles and sticking a little snowman on the top of the sachet (something I found in a drawer), sticking it in a mug with a snowman on and thats that.

Bunbun - The Yule log - we just sat the flannels on top of each other and rolled them sideways. We then kept it together with one of those trusty elastic bands dropped by the post man - DD and I went for a walk before we started so we could collect them - got 7 in 10 minutes!:p I then put pretty, wide ribbon over the tope of that and then in case the elastic band still showed - tied red ribbon over the top of that. Used hessian gold cello... Hope that helps...

Hi,
Thanks to rainmac for the cellophane cone link a couple of pages back, I've just bought some so it'll be snowman soup & sweets for everyone this year! I'm gonna have to stop reading this thread, I've now got a list as long as my arm of ideas I want to do for Christmas! I'll need a week off work at this rate!
Got my soap for the reindeers after work today but still can't find any noses anywhere... Has anyone got any ideas where to find them?

Evening everyone

Finally finished off the 2 crafty tins for our friends children. I had a budget of £10 each and made up 2 crafty hampers and also a baking hamper for them and have spent just over £16 on both of them so £4 under budget however I forgot to add the aprons I have for them so will add them now but can't be bothered to take another picture lol Here goes.

It's closing soon so they can build a better, bigger store, but in the meantime they close at 6pm. Ah well, might venture to the larger store while DS is at pre-school tomorrow afternoon.

I am sensing that you are desperate for Ben & Jerry's natbag I bought 6 tubs from Asda 2 or 3 weeks ago as it was £2 a tub (they so looked at me odd at the checkout). We've eaten through 2 so not bad going really! OK, I fess up, the 4 of us shared a tub and then I scoffed a whole tub whilst OH was out for the night. Didn't mean to eat a whole tub, it just sort of happened, got caught up watching telly and the next thing I knew my long handled spoon was scraping against the bottom of the empty pot :rotfl:
