Just ordered ds1 a Haynes manual guide to surviving the zombie apocalypse off Amazon hadn't seen them before he's a fan of things like that so will be a nice surprise gift.
Added some daisy perfume for ds2s gf to my list.

Free Glad you are all feeling better after a terrible week of being poorly.

I've not scrolled right back through but is the craft theme stocking?
Also, I remember seeing something about about Chirstmas card exchange and if we were going ahead? I've not idea what or how you do it but I'm in ...if we are doing one.

I'm sure my cold has got worse as last night I had to sleep with two pillows to keep me propped up so I could breath hoping to be on the mend very soon as I've got a ball/gala thing on Friday and it's all fancy/long dresses and could do without sniffling all over the place :eek:

newthrift the theme for ''tis months craft challenge is stocking.
Haven't seen if the card exchange is a goer, but I'd also be up for it if we are doing one.

Hugs for those feeling grotty, please don't be like Free's family, caring & sharing! Only joking Free, you all seem to having an extra rough time at moment.

I am not in the slightest bit arty, so looking for suggestions. The charity I am involved in will be having a fundraiser the Sunday before Christmas. Raffle & prizes sorted, but on the day, we will be having a table top sale, but this time we plan on having inexpensive Christmas gifts, ideally practical and limited, so those buying will know that not many others will have them. I am going to make fudge, have bought little shopping baskets to make up manicure sets (all contents ordered on bay of fleas), have small Santa pants to fill as Winter pamper kits (sachet of hot chocolate, cappucino, tic tacs, lip balm, pack of tissues and other little bits). However, now I am stuck, have red velvet ribbon which I am going to use to make book marks, have got the clamps for each end, but what can I put on the clamp to make them look pretty. Was thinking about putting a bell (well it is Christmas!) on one end, but what on the other, did think about nice wooden button, but not sure on how it would look. Over to the crafty ones!
