MIA....Again :D

Hello everyone :D
How the devil are you all??
I have been dead busy lately but hey ho :D
Ipoints keep sending me emails on free stuff, so thought what the hell, and paid £5 odd for a "free" personalised calendar (P&P and glossy paper) ideal for mum's hamper. And I paid P&P for a "Free" personalised pen, ideal for auntie's hamper.
Also brought Liquorice flavour Jelly Beans £2.49 and Stawberry Jam flavoured Jelly Beans £2.49 off eBay.
I have work early tomorrow morning then i've got to run to my doctors and then go to the next town for an emergency dental appointment - I'm in big trouble :(
I know i'm not being very creative lately, although i am getting all the bits ready to start being creative but i pinky promise that i will post something creative at the weekend!!
With Love

My Day Spent With OrganizedChristmas.com xx

Hi everyone,
Before I start jabbering, I want to say a HUGE THANK YOU to my friend PinkLadyMel who adapted my header so it looks brilliant and you can see what it says :D visit her blogs at http://mrsclausblogs.blogspot.com/
love ya chic
xxxx
Today I have spent the day at http://christmas.organizedhome.com/ making a list of each of the things I need to make, a list of print offs that i need to do, and a list of items i need for each.
The Christmas Countdown start on Sunday 25Th October, this gives us 6 weeks!!!! until the big day. Over at Organized Christmas, they have created a 6 week plan to make the whole run up to Christmas go as smoothly as Lindt Chocolate. Each week there is a specific area of holiday planning you need to focus on. Are you ready?????
This week I have decided to make the following;
  • Pots of Coal
  • Pots of Gold
  • Homemade Chocolate Slabs
  • A Journal Jar and matching altered notebook
  • x5 Sweetie Jars- inc one Jelly Bean Jar
  • x1 Hamper for my Dad
  • Snowman Soup
  • Christmas Planners (to go to every woman in the family)

I get paid on Friday so I will be buying from eBay (I know, postal strikes etc but hopefully it will turn up)
I'm going to put some items on eBay tonight, it's a bit risky due to the postal strike but I may as well give it a go, I'm not sure how long the strike will last though :S

With Love

Quality Time On The Sofa, Wrapped In Covers :)

Hiya everyone,


Yet another post from me *everybody rolls eyes* lol.
Well today it's freezing, i'm still in my pj's and big fluffy white dressing gown, and a blanket. I'm not very well have got a inflammed sinusses and feel really sick.
So i'm now curled up on the sofa with my laptop, watching '60 minute makeover', Oh how i Love <3>
Just flicked over to QVC - wow Anna Griffin Christmas Paper & Embellishments Kit, I want one!!!!!
I have some Nappy Cake photo's, that i have made, taken from my phone:
This one was made for my SIL to be as she's due in November. This is the very first Single Tier Nappy Cake I made - love the Panda.
This was the first Blue Boy's Nappy Cake that I made.
Here are two of my Mini Nappy Cakes, One Boy, One Girl:



I have wrapped each of these in plain cellophane and matching ribbon and bows.
They are for sale (except the first one) but might have a go at putting them on etsy or ebay.

Sorry about the dingy looking picture, will have to advance my photography skills :D

Me thinks I will print off my Christmas Booklet Guides for the various Hampers I am doing this year.

With Love

OH's sweetie jar

Here's a Sweetie Jar I made for OH last Christmas, this went down a storm with him :D

Sorry about the pictures they're huge!!
