CHRISTMAS SWEETIE BAG TOPPERS - THIS WEEKS OBSESSION

I have been making all sorts of little Christmas sweetie bags,
that cost very little other than time, for the little people.

RUDOLPH'S SPARES

Rudolph has a job to do
Every Christmas Eve, it's true.
His nose will always light the way
For Santa and his tiny sleigh,
But if his nose should ever go out
Don't you cry, whine, yell or pout.
Take out this bag and use a bit.
From "Rudolph's Red Nose Repair Kit"



Rudolph's nose is very bright
He helps guide Santa's sleigh
Without it in the dark night sky
They might not find their way.
So just in case dear Rudy's nose
Is kaput and goes on the blink
We have these spare "red nose seeds"
To repair him in a wink!

PENGUIN POOP

Chocolate raisins

I caught a little penguin
With a rope tied in a loop-
It must have really scared him
'Cause he made this
penguin poop

Reindeer droppings for you to eat !!!!!



For all the souls who hate the noise
Of Christmas cheer and lights and toys
For Mr. Scrooge, and Mrs. too,
Here's a little gift for you ...
A lump of coal won't be enough
To make up for the shine and fluff,
So, here's a scoop of reindeer poop
To offset all that Christmas Goop !!!

while Santa leaves gifts
tied with ribbons and bows

in neat little rows

DINNER TABLE SETTING BLACKBOARD / CHALKBOARD CHARGER PLATES

I saw these gold chargers for 99p but hate the look of the square gold leaf.

and had a light bulb moment.... Christmas, Halloween, Valentines and oh some more occasions

.....so I covered them with blackboard paint
(sand and use a good primer for plastics first).....

.....and used pastels on them (the colours are more vibrant than chalk).....

ready for Christmas dinner.

How about Santa's cookies plate on Christmas Eve?

They can be wiped clean and used for other occasions.

Ready for Halloween

 they look fab with white crockery on top!!!

HARRY POTTER DEATHLY HALLOW MOVIE SWEETIE PAPER BAG

Here are our Harry Potter Deathly Hallow movie treat bags....

 printed directly onto paper bags.

I was expecting the image to cover about two thirds of the bags, but not got time to make anymore.

I know taking your own treats is frowned upon but after paying £14 for the two of us to go to the movies,

 I don't want to spend another £10 on treats and drinks.

So I find a printable black and white image for the movie and hey presto,

I put in a drink, sweets and pop corn all for a fraction of the cost at the cinema.

I do make another type of paper goody bag and I'll make one up and post it at a later date,
so click to follow.

Have fun with your family!!!

CANDY CANE MOUSE / TWAS THE NIGHT BEFORE CHRISTMAS

I decided to make these as they only cost around 20p each

so Liam can hand them out to his friends at school.

We have now decided to go and hang them on his friends doors

as Liam loves sneeking around for the booing we do at Halloween.

If you google candy cane mouse there are loads of ideas.....

but I gave it alittle extra touch on the flip side,
I wrote the first two lines of Twas The Night Before Christmas
(see below)

Sorry about the photo quality these dark nights are a pain!!!

Twas the Night before Christmas Poem

Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the house

Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse.

The stockings were hung by the chimney with care,

In hopes that St Nicholas soon would be there.

The children were nestled all snug in their beds,

While visions of sugar-plums danced in their heads.

And mamma in her ‘kerchief, and I in my cap,

Had just settled our brains for a long winter’s nap.

When out on the lawn there arose such a clatter,

I sprang from the bed to see what was the matter.

Away to the window I flew like a flash,

Tore open the shutters and threw up the sash.

The moon on the breast of the new-fallen snow

Gave the lustre of mid-day to objects below.

When, what to my wondering eyes should appear,

But a miniature sleigh, and eight tinny reindeer.

With a little old driver, so lively and quick,

I knew in a moment it must be St Nick.

More rapid than eagles his coursers they came,

And he whistled, and shouted, and called them by name!

"Now Dasher! now, Dancer! now, Prancer and Vixen!

On, Comet! On, Cupid! on, on Donner and Blitzen!

To the top of the porch! to the top of the wall!

Now dash away! Dash away! Dash away all!"

As dry leaves that before the wild hurricane fly,

When they meet with an obstacle, mount to the sky.

So up to the house-top the coursers they flew,

With the sleigh full of Toys, and St Nicholas too.

And then, in a twinkling, I heard on the roof

The prancing and pawing of each little hoof.

As I drew in my head, and was turning around,

Down the chimney St Nicholas came with a bound.

He was dressed all in fur, from his head to his foot,

And his clothes were all tarnished with ashes and soot.

A bundle of Toys he had flung on his back,

And he looked like a peddler, just opening his pack.

His eyes-how they twinkled! his dimples how merry!

His cheeks were like roses, his nose like a cherry!

His droll little mouth was drawn up like a bow,

And the beard of his chin was as white as the snow.

The stump of a pipe he held tight in his teeth,

And the smoke it encircled his head like a wreath.

He had a broad face and a little round belly,

That shook when he laughed, like a bowlful of jelly!

He was chubby and plump, a right jolly old elf,

And I laughed when I saw him, in spite of myself!

A wink of his eye and a twist of his head,

Soon gave me to know I had nothing to dread.

He spoke not a word, but went straight to his work,

And filled all the stockings, then turned with a jerk.

And laying his finger aside of his nose,

And giving a nod, up the chimney he rose!

He sprang to his sleigh, to his team gave a whistle,

And away they all flew like the down of a thistle.

But I heard him exclaim, ‘ere he drove out of sight,

"Happy Christmas to all, and to all a good-night!"

CHRISTMAS CHOCOLATES SWEETIES ETC FOR BIRTHDAY PARTIES

I wanted to share alittle birthday party tip with you.

PLAN AHEAD!!!

Think about the theme of you childrens parties for next year NOW
as there are some fab favours around right now for Christmas.

I have picked up these from Sainbury's
And made these Cinderella swetie / treat favour bags.

With a swish of my pen turn into.....

these.....

 The shiney card was a pain to photograph but it says
"shoe's can can a girls life.....ask Cinderella!"
Perfect for a Disney Princess Party?

And these great for a Disney Cars / race car sweetie / treat favour bags.

these into these....

I thought the black and white was alittle boring.....

.....so coloured the grass and flag but still wasn't happy with it.....

 .....so changed the bag topper to red card.....

but still not 100%.....
so may come back with another option.


What about these for a Peppa Pig Party sweetie /treat favour bags

filled with pink smartees that are in the sweetie tubes that are around at  Christmas
tied with a chiffon ribbon and "pig out!" label.

Sorry not the best of photo's as taken at night.



They also had chocolate footballs, golf balls, and ties great for Dads Birthday and Fathers Day.

I know you have Christmas to think about but give it a little thought and get the goodies.

Just check the dates, most are dated well into 2011.
