They look fine candy - best of luck with them:j

They often put the small marshmallows down the baking aisle not with the sweets.

Not in this part of spain !!! It amazes me here, what ever you want in england, on the shelf you probably have a choice of 10, here you are lucky if you get a choice of 2.
Oh well, I'll keep my eyes peeled.

I've never been able to get plain coloured marshmallows here in Spain and have to settle for things that look like 2 inch sticks of rock,,,white on the inside and pale pink on the outside
how did your stall items go, CandyB101

phew!
Just finished reading through everything (in one day as well, nearly lol)

Am a bit further behind than usual due to old job doing a runner with wages, then unemployed so end of this month is first full wage packet which leaves me 6 weeks to get sorted (eeek!) and people still think I am planning too far in advance (when will they learn!)

have done a little bit of planning and added some note scribbling as I go along- about to go and finish off my list but thought I would drop by my hi first... hi

have a couple of questions:

Where can I find a label for making pear chutney (will be a first try but we have a pear tree and lots of pears)
Is it possible to add dried lavender to homemade bath bombs? (again will be a first, eeek!)

speak soon

Need some ideas................rummaging around upstairs I found a felt snowman -about the size of an egg cosy - I must have had it given me.
Any ideas what I could use it for ?
It's got an elasticated bottom hem and would pull over something but don't know what -

My first thought...an egg..or..
to top a covered toilet roll or kitchen roll tube filled with sweets, pens, crayons etc

Thanks sandy..............grandchildren (twins -boy & girl)are both 16 this christmas and baby grandson is 18 months old so I think crayons are out, and I've already done stuff with sweets in.
Wonder if I can get a christmas egg cup, then it would be ideal for baby grandson. Can you get christmas egg cups ?

Found this link over on freebie board............some craft ideas on it that might be useful.Not read it all myself yet.
