Pots of Gold!



Fiiiinally managed to get some pots of gold done.... someone put some new boxed Jack Daniels tumblers on Freecycle so I emailed back about them right away (not thinking I'd get anything as usually people swipe my stuff in 2 seconds but I have never got anything lol...) but luck/ providence/ whatever was on my side so I got them all done :)



The sweets were made for family/friends children instead of selection boxes.... that label took me ages to draw!!!! lol... I think they liked them in the end... However, if my health isn't at least 50 percent better this year I'll be getting the selection boxes! hehehe.....

...in the end I was folding labels in between dizzy fits and falling over times so, as with the cards and pots of gold it was rather a miracle they got done really .....

Ohhh the stupidness of the Myz....

Various craftiness

I'm sure I haven't blogged any of these before, but please forgive me if I have.... lol

I really *really* made a hash of my first coaster calendars as I just can't work out how to make the edges look less, well, crud... :(

Today I had a flash of inspiration (makes a change from all the perspiration! lol) and decided to stickle the edges to hide the cruddiness on said coasters, which I don't have a clue why I hadn't thrown away yet, lol.... do you know ...I think it sort of worked....




Next is my shiny shiny M and C ... covered with loads of Anita's and supposed to be stuck on a card...will they ever make it?



Couple of Christmas cards I don't think you've seen yet.....




...and last but not least (as far as time-taken-so-far-and-they-still-aren't-blooming-done is concerned) ... my weird attempt at pots of gold..... they started life as mayonnaise/coffee/pasta jars and still look as they always did... will they make it for this Christmas? .... or will my family be eating them all come the New Year? I haven't touched even one Ferrero Rocher!... Such A Good Girl....





I have yet to make anything round enough to make tags from, whenever I use Word I just end up in a mess.... maybe someone somewhere sells a pdf they have made? If you know of any let me know lol... or else these beauties won't make it past the starting post..... I can put ribbon round them all I like but I have to cover the words on there lol.. I have tried colouring the tops gold with my gold pens but when dry it just scratches off very easily ... so i thought maybe if I could fashion a round tag, use the nesties to make it look scalloptastic and stuff... maybe they will be passable

Helpy helpety help...please... lol

*hugs*
