Great jar Sarah :T Did you read all the jokes as you were cutting/folding the paper? If so, must have taken ages to do. Great pressie

Maria, get yourself a massive mug of tea and a couple of biscuits, settle in front of the TV with the facts and a pair of scissors - you'll be surprised how quickly you can get that paper cut

Yes Rainmac, it took me and OH most of the morning to cut them up, along with reading them out to one another.

But it has been fun.

Nice one Sarah - well done.:T I did a joke one but couldn't face 365 of them -all that cutting up.............so I did it as a pick and mix and going to put some sweets in as well.

Brilliant bunbun :T

I've covered two notebooks (A5 size) -one for 'secrets' for teenage grandaughter and the other was going to be a Journal for my friend but not sure its big enough. Do I need to get an A4 size maybe ?

Sorry if this has been asked before, but what jars have people found suitable for the cookie in a jar recipes? I went to buy some kilners at the ironmongers but they cost a fortune. We're not near an Ikea or any pound shops or anything like that. Are there any particular food jars that people have found just right when emptied?

Thanks, Ness.

I haven't put cookie mix in a jar (yet) but I thinK Tesco sell kilner jars similar to the ones Ikea sell. I think Shaz used a cleaned out mayo jar for her Twink's hob nob mix. 400g jar I think. You'll find her posts over on the craft for Christmas 2008 thread.
