    I thought I would share with you some things I made last year but didn't take a proper photograph of (duh) so these are rubbishy shots from my mobile!!

    A glass slide pendant for my friend featuring photographs of her two daughers:

    Well it was my first ever christmas fayre today! It didn't go anything like expected, I had made 50 snowman soup, 15 reindeers with soap in, 50 reindeer food, 10 chocolate logs and slices of my homemade christmas cake, to my complete amazement I sold out of the reindeers and only sold 2 snowman soups, quite a few people asked what they were and could they drink it even though I had put labels saying what it was and the ingredients!
    We've got another one tomorrow so I've been to Morrisons to stock up on flannels for the reindeers! Had so many comments on how nice everything looked! I hope the snowman soups goes abit better!:confused:

    hels - well done -:T fingers crossed the snowman soup goes at the next one.

    Looking around at our church hall christmas fayre on Thursday night I think I could have sold a few things like the reindeer and yule logs.
