Well the 'poop' bags have sold like hot cakes at the Nursing Home my daughter works at. The Christmas Fair had to be cancelled due to bad weather conditions, but I sent the bags I'd made in for the residents anyway.
I'm really not sure whether that was a bad or a good move for me really as ever since all my crafting time has been spent making further supplies of the latest craze in Meadow View Nursing Home. Oh my they have sold well? Even the oncall doctor didn't get chance to leave the building without buying a few packs. I've made just over a hundred and raised enough money to cover the cost of an entertainer at the residents' Christmas party.
Due to making such a massive number of them I must admit the design had to be modified slightly in that I printed out a 'ready coloured' reindeer, which speeded things up quite a bit. I'm really sorry that I can't remember where the reindeer came from. I know it was a freebie, but unfortunately I didn't file it properly on my computer. I think it
might be a Pollycraft one from last year. The text was computer generated too.
I hadn't got a coloured image of a snowman, but used this fab digi by Torico. I think it was one of the first freebies Torico gave out and is just so cute. The snowmen were coloured using Promarkers and then I added a touch of glitter. Again the text was computer generated.
Hopefully now I've completed these I may be able to enter some challenges again, but for the moment I'll add these as my entry to the following challenges...
I do apologise for the poor photos, but I had to take them at night before my daughter packed them up again to take to work. If anyone is wanting to do a little last minute fund raising I found that the bags of marshmallows sold at Sainsbury's are fantastic value at just over a pound with no pink ones in. Used carefully each bag could be streched out to make 20 bags of poop.
Have a great day all and I hope your Christmas preparations are going well. Not long before Santa comes along now.
