I've only ever made Oreo truffles, but they were super yummy and everyone seemed to like them. Either that, or all my family and friends are mega polite.. Anyways, the recipe's pretty much crumbed oreos + cream cheese + white chocolate cake covering: https://www.bakerella.com/grocery-item-goes-gourmet/
Since I have suddenly become an obsessive knitter I reckon everyone I know will end up with a hat a scarf for x-mas xx
oh i wish i could knit! i have all the stuff but could never get the hang of it shame as I love baby cardys!
Have you seen my knitting blog? Good starter patterns and lots of clear explanation videos from youtube I dont think its the actual knitting thats hard, its the finding a pattern suitable for level and finding good, clear instructions. Took me ages to find patterns I could understand! xxx
I am doing a cross stitch right now for my Grandma in law. I have a cool bath bomb site bookmarked, I will try and find it for you. I have also been checking out a lot of craft blogs, they usually get updated a few times a week and have some really good ideas
I've made oreo balls before, they were really good. I also did candy cane chocolate bark. Chocolate covered oreos? Codegirl showed me how to make them at her house. I will post the link for the moulds...molds? haha in a minute.

What about those no sew fleece tie blankets? I wanna make those every year but never get around to it.
That reminded me of a gift my grandpa got. It was this round piece of wood and it said "Here is a Roundtoit for you" since he never got around to doing things
last year for christmas everyone got a hamper lol i done three different onces: little ones i made hot chocolate ones, i bought a big pack of value mugs and got some little sachets of hot chocolate, bought some mini marshmallows, candy cane and a tiny bar of chocolate or a little lints santa. then wrapped them with cellowrapp and tied it with green and red ribbon which really went down well wish i had a picture to show but they really went down a treat. i made bath ones: these were in little baskets, they had homemade soap and bath crystals (made by myself) they have a bottle of lotion and a bath scrubber and a bar of chocolate and then there were my big hampers which was in a wicker basket they had shortbread, cookies, coffee and tea, jam and honey, crackers, pack of bisutes and bottle of wine, bottle of non-alcoholic wine and some chocolates they were a real treat also made home-made tablet and wrapped it up in lovely cellowrapp with ribbon went down well gave little hampers of soap and bath crystals to family like aunties and uncles they really liked them... i am considering making little hampers again, thinking of making a gamers hamper for my OH this year, but unsure really low on money this year so think everyone will be getting little things, i am currently doing my christmas shopping to spread it over the next few months and think gonna buy some little christmas bags and every week get someone out of poundland or if somethin is one sale, they do boxes of malteasers in poundland so i often get those lol can get some nice perfume in poundworld... would love to hear free christmas gift ideas
