  • This is our stall from the sale last saturday, and our big news is we have two more bookings! one at the schools christmas bazaar and one at our towns late night shopping event! which is HUGE! very exciting and i should be wearing my fingers out making stuff but i seem to have come to a halt with everything, cant finish my reindeer food cos i need labels printing (cant do til tomorrow) same with the jars of nothing, cant bag up the rest of the mugs or make snowman soup as ive run out of all my bags (waiting for a heat sealer so i can start on the massive roll of cello we have) cant finish the reindeer as i have no eyes etc etc etc my house is littered with half finished projects! :rolleyes: :D

    anyway....nappy cakes, pint o socks, flannel muffins, bags of sweets, snowman soup, reindeer food, jars of nothing and some of our cards,
    bags of cookies (oat and raisin or chocolate chip)
    cupcakes, frosted or iced with high school musical or wrestlers on

    these are my fab cups of tea and coffee,
    flannels from morrisons (4 for 89p) cups from woolworths value range (28p each) coasters from woolies too (4 for 99p)

    my first attempt at reindeer, ignore the eyes, i just didnt want to post pics with them looking eyeless and wrong!
    ive used the coloured pipe cleaners i had, i think they look ok, so may not bother with brown pipe cleaners unless i see some while im out

    Have you got a pic of the pint o' socks! I think this might be more appropriate for the men in my house !! :)

    Try making flannel cup cakes. You fold the flannel up from the corners (diagnoally, metting in the middle) roll them up and put them in a muffin case. You can put the in celeophane bags with mini soaps or bath pearls or something on and tie a litte ribbon on them to keep them in place.

    If my typing is pants or I seem partcuarly blunt, please excuse me, it physically hurts to type. :wall: If I seem a bit random and don't make a lot of sense, it may have something to do with the voice recognition software that I'm using!
