Hi all.

I just had to drop in and say hi! :santa2:

I love love love love love Christmas, so this is THE perfect thread.

You'll probably see a lot more of me here. So I look forward to getting to know you.

:T

Now, off to find some of those Christmas radio stations on the net! :cool:

Hello! I hope you're all keeping well?!

I haven't posted for a couple of days but thought I'd let you know I found a lovely toiletries bag for my mum today in the M&S sale. It was down from £8.50 to £2! I felt so lucky to find one at that price in there, so that will be stashed away later

I do believe that this year is the year I've been most organised for Christmas. I have a spreadsheet and everything this time! I may pop out again tomorrow to see what else I can pick up before the Christmas rush!

Just got back from Tottenham. The journey up White Hart Lane took me 6 minutes before the match.The journey back down the same stretch of road took me 44 minutes after the match. :eek:

But my Dad and ds enjoyed the game, and I enjoyed a catch up with some cousins round the corner from the ground. Took the scanner and got copies of some great old pics for the family tree.

I am now shattered, but must put the pics on the tree before bed. I won't sleep if I don't do it now.

:j I have made my Christmas gift decisions for this year and I am ready to start shopping . As I have a little one due at the start of the year I want my prep to be as organised and relaxed as possible. I have decided to make themed couples hampers which will all be the same, all I have to do is add a few extra bits to my weekly shop and I will soon be done :j

Then I can focus on gifts for my current DD. Through the year I pick her up bits and pieces and then in December get her main gift. As she will be ten this year I am thinking about putting together a pamper hamper for her with some nice smells, hair clips, fun jewellery etc although I am still undecided.

I know some of you really go to town with the elf of the shelf - I think it is great and might try it this year for DS1 (will be 4). From previous years I think some people of mentioned that their elf arrives with a tent. I have just seen this one that might be a good size on the argos website in the clearance section.

I know it says design a bear on the side but I know how creative you are!

Susan, I'm a regular and often lurk - don't feel you have to post everyday or even keep up with the thread - welcome aboard

I am after some advice - after a terrible craft fair yesterday (£4 in sales) I am beginning to think that I need to branch out on what I sell. I have whipped up an apron and would like to know if it is something you think people would buy and how much would be a good price?

It is a half circle skirt design and pleated at the front so nice and poofy in a 50s style



Please be brutally honest - I would like some honest feedback as don't want to buy the materials and make them if they look too basic
