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

I used this reindeer food poem... http://organizedchristmas.com/printable-magic-reindeer-food. If you're not keen on this one, type 'reindeer food' into Google and you'll find lots of other poems!

Rainmac - Your pictures look lovely, what do you write on the paper inside the journal jars??

also..

Does anyone know how you make your own bath salts???

Ive read through the posts and couldnt find this info? Sorry if it has already been posted on here!

Thanks sammy I've typed questions that I've found on websites or made up. If you'd like a copy of the questions I've used please PM me your email address and I'll send them so you can have a look.

I've made my own bath salts - very easy to do (otherwise I wouldn't be able to do it ). I've done the lemon salts on this site and given them for presents - got more jars to make for Xmas... http://www.allfreecrafts.com/bath-and-body/lemon-bathsalts.shtml. I got the epsom salts from ebay, food colouring from supermarket and lemon oil from Lakeland Ltd.
