Oh no-Christmas Clanger!!!!

I don't believe it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I made a fantastic 'Retro Sweet Box' for my Mam for Christmas and I was dead proud of it. Then I bought some bits in a bargain shop that I thought my Mam might want as Christmas presents for other people and because she lives quite a distance away I took photos of the bargain gifts I'd bought and loaded them onto photobucket and sent her the link.
Today when I met up with my Mam I asked her if she wanted the bargain gifts I had bought and sent her the photo of and she said 'Well I looked at the photo you attached and it was just a box filled with lots of sweets and liquorice!!!!!!
I had sent her the wrong link!!!!!!:eek: It was the picture of her retro sweet box. I just bluffed my way out of it by saying there must have been a mix up but I am GUTTED!!!!!

    Oopps!!!! Did she say she liked the look of it? It sounds like she doesnt know its for her, and will still be a nice surprise on xmas morning for her even though she has seen it already.
  • *laughing* ohhh I'm sorry, but thats just the sort of thing I'd do.

    I'm sure she wouldn't realise it was for her, and she'll still love it!! :)
