crazychatter - no one has actually seen my 'masterpieces'..........:rotfl: as I don't have all the hi tech stuff to do it............maybe just as well.........................lol But its fun to have a go and amazing what novel things you can do that are really cheap and make christmas just that bit different.
My lot don't know what they're in for.....................lol:rotfl:

It's a bit time consuming -well my door hangers were as rainmac will verify with my endless panic stages but I think I've got the gist of them now.
The rest seems to be taking me an absolute age but maybe I'm just not a very organised person. I drift from doing one thing to another............my deadline to finish christmas was August.................lol

rainmac - a huge thank you, I have been stealing your ideas, well even if they arent your ideas. I have gained inspiration from your photos.

I have made snowman soup which looks yummy, pots of gold, our xmas eve hamper and just about to make two car wash hampers

Oh my goodness! It has taken me four days but I have read the whole thread and now I'm sad that I'm upto date! if that makes any sense! I feel a bit voyeristic though as I feel like I know you all, Mary, Siren, rainmac, melissa... you have all done such wonderful things, I adore the scrapbooking, blankets, snowman soup, sock monkeys and... oh everything!! and now I have a million ideas for this year and not enough time but I'll try!!
Just wanted to thank you all, I wish I had been a part of it from the beginning!

The sweeties used were blackcurrant liquorice and werthers originals:

It's taken me about 4 days to read this entire thread, and I love it. You guys are all so clever! I've had a few ideas which I want to copy - one of which is this! I watched the how to video from earlier, but I didn't understand something...do you tie a knot round the sweet wrapper and then tie and knot it to the wire? Because it seemed to say something about not knotting it round the sweet. I'm really confused, if anyone can help/explain, that would be really great!!

Its a half knot to the sweet then a full knot to the frame
