----The Ball Of Life----

Suffering from stress: Fondle it constantly.

Need to relieve your anger: Throw it at someone.

Short of a massage: Roll it around the bottom of your feet.

Lack of communication in your life: Tell it your inner most secrets.

Short of a good friend: Paint a smiley face on it.

Needing some unconditional love: Throw it at a wall, it will always come back to you.

Want to be less selfish: Lend it to someone when your not using it.

Want to be aware of others, want to become more thoughtful: Look after your ball, try to understand how it feels to be kicked about, stood on and given away and abused.

Want to be less judgmental: Be happy with this gift, it's the thought that counts not the cost.

Hi Rainmac, your snowman soups look sooooo good that I'm gonna have a go and put one in each of the hampers I'm making up!!

I've ordered my cello cones and will use the extra ones to fill with sweets for the boys' stockings. Fantastic, thanks!!

Rainmac - the paper I got from my mam so I don't know where she got it but I know it's from a pack of 6x6 papers by dovecraft - if that helps.

I'm loving christmas papers at the moment so am banning myself from walking into any craft shop just in case.

Hi All!

I'm getting seriously behind on things at the moment. Keep meaning to order stuff and then forget all about it. Still working on my sisters cross stitch but its lots of odd colours stood alone IYSWIM and its annoying me lol. Once I get some aida I will make a card or a little something to break it up.
Still everything is going on hold as I start my new job tomorrow! Have to be up at 6am and its going to be all dark and horrible!!

*EDIT TO ADD*

Rainmac I love those snowman soups makes it work out cheaper as well as you don't have to buy a mug!

chillin nutta - Ball of Life is a tennis ball with the words all typed out saying what you can do with it depending on how you feel.

uber bargain- was trying to price cellophane for my hampers and lo and behlod darling OH has 'pinched' some lol

He works in clinton cards and they get the big cellophane bags (not sure what for) they dont sell them to the public, he asked his manager if he would be able to buy a couple at near cost as an employee and she told him he could help himself to a couple (so long as he didn't extract the urine with it) so now I have 4 bags with gold stars, 4 bags with silver stars and my main hampers will more than fit in them (go on, hate me if you want)

I also pinched some white tissue paper from work (I work in a jewellery store where we wrap the more delicate jewellery up in tissue so have loads)
