Mary you can get a 6x6 pad of 36 sheets of the same paper from ebay, It's not double sided or a thick, but I got one of them anyway to use on smaller projects, the item number is: 270249431262
I'm trying to find where I found the big one for 9.99, I can't remember. I look at that many craft sites it all becomes a haze. I shall make it my mission to find it for you!

Wow Melissa the frame is stunning!!!

I wish I could do something like that. OH would love something like that but masculine lol

melissa - thanks.
I have mentioned on another thread (brains gone numb so can't remember which.........lol)
When you cover the notebooks do you do the inside of the cover as well as the outside ?

Mary - it depends on the notebook whether I cover the inside, the one above I didn't bother covering it as it was white inside, some of them you need to to hide what's inside. I finally found the link, here it is:http://www.thecraftzboutique.com/catalog/kology-hannah-scrap-p-2789.html

Hi all - there's some lurvelly things on this thread!
I taught myself to knit last November and managed a scarf each for hubby and son before Christmass last year. This year I am completely obsessed and so we're planning to knit for everyone we would usually buy for (eek).
Hubby - socks (started) / blanket (done) / something secret too (maybe a satchel)
Mum - gardening bag made of jute twine with secauteurs & gloves inside (started)
Sister - fingerless gloves just like Rose's from Dr Who (I'm v jealous) (started)
nephew - cabled scarf
MIL - drop stitch scarf (started)
MILs BF - hat
SIL - yarn bag
SILs bf - fuzzy dice for his racecar!
FIL - hat
FILs wife - drop stitch scarf (done)
SIL (age 5) - Hello Kitty hat (nearly done, just ears & bow to add!)
BIL (1!) - a bear
grandma - a tea cosy
Nana - a bear filled with lavender & hops from the garden
great aunt - a drop stitch scarf (done)
Aunt - another drop stitch scarf (I have about 3 designs so people who see each other won't get the same design!)
Uncle - socks
Cousin 1 - drop stitch scarf (done)
Cousin 2 - cabled scarf (started)
cousin 3 - 'police line - do not cross' scarf (started).

I'll also be making my son a hat, some knitted ornaments for the house and tree, and I've been making all our cards over the past year. Yeah...I must be mental.

Goodness Claire that's one impressive list:T :T :T .

I'm fascinated with the idea of the jute twine gardening bag. Can you post more details?

Hope you'll post some piccies of the finished pressies.
