I thought I would add an extra post today to show you my latest shopping “finds” which hopefully, I can use in projects in the next week or so.
Poundland cookie cutters – I was thinking I could use my Cropodile and put an eyelet on each side of each cutter and then string them together to make a little banner or perhaps spray/paint them in cream so they have a shabby chic look and stick them on a plaque. …….
Chocolate Tokens from Home Bargains – 39p for a bag of 9. I might put these in a decorated shaker box.
I have tried the chocolate - not bad, but not Cadbury's if you know what I mean!
Hobbycrafts – buy one get one free - £1.99 for the two.
Marks and Spencers chocolate bunnies – “buy 5 pay for 4” so that works out at £3.98 (I think there are about 12 bunnies in a net) – I shall make sweetie bags with these and add punched heart sprinkles, using papers that match the hearts on the bunnies tummies.

I love shopping - almost as much as crafting. I've adopted what you do, buy things cheaply and try to work out what crafty thing I can do with it. I particularly like the variety in charity shops, you never know what you'll find.
I like those cookie cutters they are so cute, and your bunnies are adorable. xx
The cookie cutters are just brilliant, will be looking forward to seeing what they turn into :)
A brilliant array of goodies, I'd love a shopping trip with you x

Oh I can't wait to see what projects this little collection brings. They all look like so much fun.
Or how about using the cutters for Fimo and making thebanners from that? They're lovely. We don't have a poundland. Am jealous again.
