Plum Posted April 3, 2010 Share Posted April 3, 2010 Wow, some really crafty crafts. Well done everyone. I've been to the postoffice and A chicken Massacre Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plum Posted April 3, 2010 Share Posted April 3, 2010 Wow Wow Wow I am now the owner of a very special item or two I thought it may be chocolate and licked it It's um a pottery nest with eggs and a chick which sits in the middle of a beautiful bowl/plate. Around the edge of the plate (now) are perched hundred of fluffy chicks. I am so chuffed to receive such a fabulous gift from our own tame potter. Thank you so much I absolutely love it. After Easter if I can fight the fluffy chicks off the edge, I am going to eat my salads off it all summer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ygerna Posted April 6, 2010 Share Posted April 6, 2010 Just a quick post to check that everyone has received their swap gift. If you haven't can you let me know so I can check with your secret bunny. If any bunny's were late sending, which is understandable so don't fret, can you let me know so I can be prepared Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chook n Boo Mum Posted April 7, 2010 Share Posted April 7, 2010 I am guilty as charged at not putting my pics on here quickly enough Sorry But in my defence I had a migraine which poleaxed me and my DH had put my box away & omitted to tell me where Anyway here are the piccies of my lovely gifts, en masse with all their lovely handwritten notes......... The lovely local beeswax candles.......the honey/wax smell is gorgeous ! The handmade choccy truffles..........mmmmmmmmmm I shall enjoy these whilst watching Frost tonight ......whether to share them with DH He doesn't like coconut, so that's 4 for me & possibly two for him And the two little boxes filled with baths salts & a melt with the most delicious scent oozing out.....shame I can't do smellivision , and a darling little "shovel" for the bath salts, it's so sweet Thank you so much my Secret Bunny, I am one lucky girl Sha x edited to say...sorry Mods I've resized this chocolate pic in Photobucket 3 times & it still shows up as enormous........any ideas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Find a friendly beekeeper, they may sell you their excess if you are really lucky Failing that Thornes sell all the beeswax etc needed for candle making http://www.candlemaking.uk.com/ Sha x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
