    I'm sure they'll love them, I like how the blue and white look together. Nicely packaged too.

    cookiedough38 - love your gift idea, I think its so much nicer to get a home made present.
    Anyway I am happy again. I finished decorating one of my card boxes, I will post some pictures tomorrow. I haven't made all the cards to go in it, I just wanted to get the box sorted first. I hope Home Bargains have some more left in stock. Even though I ripped half of it off in a huff I am really pleased with it. I want to do an oriental one (this one is a fairy and flower design), but I'm not sure if I have the 12x12 papers to do it.

    Looking forward to seeing your pics :D

    I bought two sheets of beautiful K&Co 12x12 paper last week to make some door hangers for my friends - to put on the bathroom door for when they want a bit of piece and quiet (like the kids are going to pay any attention I hear you say :rotfl: ). I keep looking at the paper as I love it and haven't got round to gluing and cutting it up!

    I finished making this little cushion yesterday to add to a chocolate hamper for Xmas. I guess it measures about 8cm square. It took me longer to stitch around the edges than to stitch the blooming design, I can cross stitch but my sewing skills are dire:rotfl:! Hope you like it...

    Thanks sammy, tried to add a ribbon at the top so it could be hung but put it not quite in the middle so it hung wonky (was stitching very late last night ;) ). Took the ribbon off, think it looks ok as it is.
