Hi – I have something that I would like to send you as an alternative to expensive crackers for the Xmas dinner table. Good luck with it, sounds brilliant and a great amount of support and interest so far – go you! xx

My Mother In Law helped me out. She liked the Buttercup purse I made myslef from Made by Rae’s pattern and asked for one. She’s getting a Buttecup bag and I decided to make them for the other ladies and girls on my list. I made all but two from fabric I had in my stash too – yahoo! Now I just have to figure out something for the guys.

Fabulous – what a great idea! I’ve JUST started having a go at crafting and am determined to make my own presents for DD who is 8.

I’m rubbish at crafting, but am going to give it a go anyway and I might even branch out to some grown up presents too.

Can’t wait to read other’s ideas – thanks so much for setting this up!
