Bev came into work with this the other day and said "Can you do something to jazz this up for me please Aliiiiiiiii"(why does my name get longer when my sisters want me to do something!)

All it need was a a little ribbon magic - a simple pom pom bow.

I used my new Bowdabra (here) for the first time in proper work mode, it's brill but my poor bowmaker that Tony made me is starting to gether dust!

I thought the red snowflake ribbon worked really well with the garlands berries it comes in red (here) or silver (here).  If you need a reminder on how to make pom pom bows just click here and you can make them with the bowdabra bow maker.  Don't forget the magic cord (here) it makes the twiddles in the centre of the bows.

 Anybody want to make these pom pom bows?  If you do, just leave a comment today and you could win a Bowdabra, magic cord and snowflake ribbon in red or silver.  We will announce the winner in tomorrows post.

More gingerbread delights to tantalise your tastebuds!

Karen your gingerbread man is gorgeous, I will give him a very Merry Christmas.

Debbie has a wicked surprise hiding in the wallet.

Somebody put the kettle on.

A couple of thes biscuits from Margarets card would go down a treat as well.

With so many different gingerbreads on display could I really eat one! Ruby's one is far to good to eat.

That's better lets move away from food, feeling a bit peckish and it is still too early.  Fairy Crafts made these two adorable cards, I love the heart, is it fimo?  Something else I have never played with.

It's all hands to the pumps again today despatching orders.  We are being held up by some of our supplers, it is amazing how the snow is causing a problem EVEN in areas where it did not snow!!  We are waiting for a new PDQ (visa machine) it left London on a overnight delivery to Dorset on Monday but it has been held up in the snow.  Maybe they watch a different weather channel to me!!!!
