rainmac you have been busy. I got as far as printing and laminating my snowman soup and ball of life (thank you!) labels and that was it:rotfl:
my door hangers arrived today so will have to think about them!

I've been busy making stuff but not busy doing the housework which is what i should have been doing :rolleyes: as we've got several friends and their children coming round tomorrow for tea and then we're all going to the local firework display. My house is a tip so I am relying on the OH being nice tomorrow and taking the boys out for a couple of hours so I can wizz about making the place look presentable (i.e. chuck all the stuff in places where people won't see it ) :rotfl:

Rainmac ,
I think it was you who posted the finished reindeer food.
Could you point me in the right direction for the printable version of the poem.
I am awash with flannel muffins , logs, and snowman soup.All ready for school craft fair. Will post photo of finished items when I get a chance.
Thanks Mariae

Just popping in quickly as i`m tired.

Your welcome to the link rainmac your journal jars and survival kit look fantastic. I think i need an angst jar..lol and stuff all my worries in it and shut it firmly !.

Re tidying the house and stuffing things in cupboards thats what there meant for our big cupboard is nicknamed the bermuda !

I bought some card stuff and little extra today in hobbycraft using the voucher from a christmas magaizine. It mounts up when your buying not that much.

The snowman stirrers sound great I have a slight snowman theme emerging this year ! and good luck with door hangers bunbun
