What’s On My Desk Wednesday

This is very, very sad but I have been on constant Tesco Chocolate Ladybird alert for weeks now!  I had almost given up when my mate Lisa text to say she’d got some. Woo hooooooo.

Tonight I went into the village Tesco Express and there they were beckoning me to buy them!

This year they are filled with caramel (last year they were solid chocolate), they cost £1.04 for a net of 13 with a sell by date of May 2010,  not long for chocolate really.  So both Lisa and I are mindful that if we want any for Easter, we will have to stock up now, because once Valentines Day has gone, we won’t be able to get anymore.

So that’s my weekend planned - with boxes and bags of love bugs to make.

If you have a Dunelm Mill near you, it might be worth popping in, a friend at work popped by my office with a bulging bag of bargains, including My Minds Eye paper packs 99p, My Minds Eye decoupage pad £1.99, Dress It Up Buttons 49p pack, xmas ribbons 37p pack, A5 pads of Xmas glitter paper 49p, small card blanks 49p …… etc.

To answer Mandy's question:-  I  give a lot of sweetie bags to friends and family as presents at special times like Valentines Day, birthdays, end of term or just because presents .........
I also have a box in the staffroom with all my latest makes for people to dip into.

I love reading your blog and seeing your excitement & enthusiasm that floods out about crafting. Can I just ask... what do you do with all the cute little sweetie treat bags you make? I was just wondering ;}
