Christmas Crackers

Hi all,

Yesterday was a wonderful day with family. I laid the dining room table the night before and added my own crackers this year! I used the following tutorial to make the crackers using my favourite Christmas colour combo of Cherry Cobbler and Old Olive along with the now retired Jolly Holiday DSP and matching ribbon. Treats inside consisted of everyone's favourites; various Lindt chocolates, Quality Streets, Jelly Babies and Ferrero Rocher, along with a cheesy Christmas joke :)

Here's my one below:

Christmas Wish List Service

This message will stay at the top till 20 December.
Please scroll down for new posts.

Morning all,

Hope you've had a nice weekend and are raring to go :) I've been busy prepping for my Christmas Class this coming weekend and am busy making Christmas cards in between so that I'm all organised this year. I can't believe where this year has gone to, but in just a few days, it'll be 1 December! With this in mind, I thought I'd let you know that I am starting up my Wish List Service for those of you who are being asked by loved ones and friends what you'd like for Christmas already!

All you have to do is fill in my Wish List Form and mail it back to me which I will safely store for you. Then give your family/friends my contact details when they ask you what you would like for Christmas. They can contact me and between us, we can select what Stampin' Up! goodies to purchase off your Wish List according to their budget and can organise to have the goodies delivered either direct to their door or have them sent here for collection. How easy is that? What a happy bunny you'll be knowing that you'll get some craft goodies you've been wishing for instead of the usual slippers, cds and smellies!

For a copy of the Wish List Form or more information, please email me on alexhau@rocketmail.com.

Please Note:
All Wish List orders must reach me asap to ensure delivery in time for Christmas.

Alternatively, if a Gift Voucher is more your thing, I can arrange to have these in any denomination for your family/friends to purchase from me. These have no expiry date and can be used at any time. For your Gift Voucher to be received in time for Christmas, please let me know asap so that it catches the last First Class Christmas posting - Tuesday 20 December 2011.

Looking forward to hearing from you soon.
