Here is my fantastic swap from Chalet School Fan



I must give making felt items ago again
I did make 100 little felt christmas decorations from a kit on QVC must have been back in 1993-94
It said to glue them but I hand sewed the lot
Sold them at daughter school's Christmas fair
I made enough money for the school that I could have purchase 2 more kits
I also made window clings from gallery glass and mini iced Christmas cakes cooked in small baked bean tins(beans were removed
they were a complete sell out
School my daughter works at and the school Granddaughter goes to don't do Christmas fairs and you can't do bakesales due to allergies you have to supply shop bought cakes
Times have changed from the days you bought bright pink and blue iced hand made cakes not knowing who's hands made them and where the hands had been

They're great! Love the little house with all the ghosts!

My super Spooky card from LJ arrived yesterday. It appears it had an adventurous journey but arrived here safely. It's brilliant Jan - I like the 'dripping' letters!



Side view:


I also received a packet of chocs which I forgot to put in the photo. I gave up chocolate a couple of months ago because I was eating far too much than was good for me. When you choose to eat a whole packet of chocolates instead of a meal you know you've got a problem.
I have eaten LJ's chocs so back on the wagon again now!

Glad it arrived ok
It certainly had a nice trip it came back to me once and then made its way to you again
I was terrible with chocolate I kept it in the fridge so every time I got milk out for one of my many cups of tea I would have a chunk
Hubby has gone a diet and has lost over 2 stone
So I have no chocolate or crisps or biscuits so I have lost half a stone not that I was overweight
But as I was under under 7 stone for most of my adult life being over 8 was not helping me
I feel so much better now
I expect come Christmas it will change again

Thank you for all your hard work. I loved all the little bats - it must have been really fiddly to add them to the card!

That's really lovely. Is it Graphic 45 papers?

[PinkPig]

Yes it is indeed PJP.

Forgot to say the Pink Pig made the inside spooky as well so I couldn't forget it was Hallowe'en:

They're great! Love the little house with all the ghosts!

It's a house die from Honey Bee with the Hallowe'en add on. The large ghost and spider's web are from a Sizzix set.

Lovely take on the theme must have taken ages
