    my poundland have cocktail shakers just now. What about those little umbrellas you get in cocktails? a nice girly dvd?

    Can't remember who it was but whichever newbie was thinking about a sleep hamper what about some lavender bath bombs or bath salts?

    pooky what fab dolls, they're going to be so loved, whilst I love the dolls I have to confess I can't get over how cute their little shoes look. My word you've been busy.

    Welcome Magic Mishkin, your list is sure going to keep you busy. Fantastic to see you posting.

    Thought I'd share these with you.....all very quick and easy to make....

    The two oddment monkeys are for my DD's for xmas, the "monkey" themed monkey was for a friends birthday (who's "monkey" mad) and the sock monkey was my first attempt...how fab are sock monkeys!!! Will be making more for stockings :D The oddment monkey pattern is available online to download...if you want the details please drop me a pm.

  • As i`ve said before those monkeys are so clever and intricate though they would not look like monkeys if i made them !

    I like the santa footprint and the rudolf boxes. Though some things like the stars look easy enough to copy.

    Thanks chick

    That looks awesome - the santa footprint i mean. I wanted to do something like this for my little boy on christmas morning to see santas footprints on the living room floor and was going to do the footprint in flour thing but figured it would be too messy but i think if i can make a stencil of a footprint and find something i could stencil with then that might work better. I was thinking of using paint as i have some white left over somewhere and i have a laminate floor so it washes away quite easily with a bit of scrubbing but would be well worth it if my little boy had proof santa was there besides his empty plate.

    thanks again!
    Time to find me again

    That is so cute :T that you would do that for your son no greater love than,a mummy willing to paint her laminate floor. I bet his face would be a picture make sure you have the camera ready :j . " X" marks the spot or rather the santas foot print does..lol

    I like the rudolf box as I bought a £1.20 reindeer bag to put homemade chocolates in ( if i get round to ever making them ) but, you couldn`t fit more than about 4 in the tiny bag. A nice big box to munch is more my way to go :D

  • My BIL did santa footprints a couple of years ago using talcum powder by sprinking it and then walking through it with his boots on. Might be easier to hoover up than flour and would act like shake n vac :rotfl:
    Officially a non-smoker but still rounder than recommended :p

    bless, my BIL2b's dad used to put some reindeer hoof prints on the edge of a stick type hook thing that he would used to leave hoofprints in the snow on the roof (described badly i think but hopefully you get the idea)
