It was magic dear Crispeater. I'm a star pupil at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardary....
oh ok then..I have oasis in the bottom (stuff from flower shops) and skewers sellotaped to sweets, and cleverly hidden with ribbon.
Darn...I like the magic explanation better!

Yey!!
I sat down and laid out my hampers yesterday - i had great fun doing it.
Mums looks good with he rbig tiggy who looks like hes holding her mug and that so hers was done,
the two pamper hampers i could just not find an arrangement i liked but did eventually and they look good too,
my nans tea one looked good,
my sisters was awkward wedging the baking trays in but got there eventually,
my grandads need work btu still need bits for it
my motehr in laws looked kind of empty (she has a hot choccie mug, shortbread, pack of turkish delight and after eight mints and some bed socks in the bottom) but then remembered i have a little tin to go in to and am expecting some sheepskin gloves too at some point to go in it as well as having her family tree drawn up. Plus bf hasnt brought for her yet
Also bf came in as they were all laid over the floor, packaged up but not wrapped as i dont have space for them either so need to pack nearer the time. and he jsut looked at them and i said 'go on then honest opinion?' and he said 'they look good'. whcih i guess is good coming form him cos if he didnt like them he would of said so.
Fingers crossed ill get soem pictures up soon for you all cos bf got his new camera yesterdayTime to find me again0 -
