    candi -
    I bet Mary is now running to the bathroom, looking for a loo roll and a spare flannel

    No need - I already made one for ex foster girl to put in her hamper. I'd got spare quite flannel, 3 bath bombs that luckily fitted into loo roll holder. Didn't tie the ends with ribbon though...........I'd got some clear white beads on wire so twisted them around the ends and put gold ribbon round the middle.

    Done little mini-christmas cakes as well with a white ribbon with a bit of holly on round them and a holly sprig in the middle. :rotfl:

    Am now for some reason collecting loo roll middles....................:rotfl:
    Mary

    I'm creative -you can't expect me to be neat too !

    Sounds like you have a very lucky family this christmas, you have spoilt them all. I hope they appreciate all your hard work.

    Everytime I save up something, my DD decides that she is going to make something out of it. She's costing me a fortune in glue and ribbons etc. Still, can't complain, at least she approves of my homemade gifts.

    Those mini-cakes sound lovely. I've come to a stop with the crafts at the moment. Just can't seem to get motivated ..... and this close to christmas too! Too much paperwork to get sorted now that we have moved back !!
    A creative mess is better than tidy idleness :D

    Candi -I've caught up on all my bits and bobs (otherwise I'd have been frantically searching for flannel to turn into a cracker........lol:rotfl:
    - just finishing off wrapping everything..............loads of stuff I didn't get around to doing -including the loo roll with little verse....and I so meant to do that one..........oh well, must put that on the list for next year.

    Hope family will appreciate the number of flannels they're getting in one form or another..........................lol:rotfl:
