Thrify Gifty Santas Challenge 2013,

Kitchenbunny

Evening, just thought I'd creep back in and see how everyone is. I went into Mr T today and there are quite a few Easter toys on reduced to clear. Big fluffy bunnies that were previously about £6 or so were at £1.50 - might be useful for someone. These didn't have any mentions to Easter so might be useful for birthdays or even to put away for next year.

Hope that's useful. Not a lot going on in our little slice of reality at the moment apart from lots of Spring Cleaning and more decluttering. I will get around to the challenge at some point, I hope!

I think the pressed flowers between glass is so that you can put them against any background? More unusual than fixing to a backing.
I mean I know they would fade but they might look quite magical with light shining from behind, particularly flowers like wild carrot, cow parsley, queen Annes lace

Hi all,

Back from lovely holiday. Had such a great time and well stocked up on vitamin do! It's cold!! Am huddled in bed with dd

Hope everyone had a good Easter. We're off to an egg hunt tomorrow.

Dh thinks we should give his (very hard to buy for) parents drawings of all their grandchildren for Christmas so that's a project to be getting on with! He can frame them cheaply as he gets the materials for cost price via his work.

Susan those chocolate bars are AMAZING!!!

Welcome back echo bunny glad you had a good holiday. Make sure you keep warm as it is freezing . Mind you the temperature has got a bit higher the last couple of days. Thank you for the kind comments about the Easter chocs.

Glad you ok Rufus and enjoying some time with the family. I been trying to balance some of my time but always seem to have my head in the PC.

It very quiet on here. I been busy making some cards, I'm trying to get ahead of myself with cards. Keep getting distracted though Pinterest is so interesting. Love seeing the pins, could get lost in there for hours

Echo what's the completely crazy clothes challenge ?

I made a start on my necklace last night, havent tried it on with the dress yet so not sure if it will go but might do that later on to see what its like.

Need to find something for son's birthday next month as havent got anything yet. Usually buy him t shirts ready for the summer so will look about when I get a chance.

Got the lot of them coming round tomorrow for tea as its my birthday. Will need to get some more bits in as didnt think they would all come at once lol. Up early as need to go to the sorting office this morning to pick up a parcel, says perishable so thinking might be flowers from OH's bro as he usually ops for them.

I'm aiming to spend max of £100 on any clothes for me in 2013 including shoes, accessories etc.

I've listed 117 items on ebay so far this month. Decluttering like a fiend!

The proceeds will all have to go towards my fourth set of new bras since discovering myself with child. This is getting ridiculous

EchoDelta

Wow Sugarspun that is some deeply impressive ebaying!!
