I saw this idea on a friend FB and thought maybe some of you lovely ladies would like to try it.

It can be like a secret santa but using only homemade goods. They can be whatever you like as long as they can be sent and received via post.

It'd work the same way as the secret santa, one person co-ordinates the addresses. We'd have say 3 months to make and send something, or less time if you think that'd be better. When you receive something you take a pic and post it so that everyone else can see what was made for you.

I just throught we had some very talented ladies on here who might like the chance to make something as a project for someone who you know would really appreciate it.

Post if you want to join in and I'll sort out the co-ordination and re-post final details xxx

i would love to but to be honest im not creative in the slightest so il sit this one out howeve feel free to send me something lol

Sounds fun!

There would have be a price guide though as you'd be pretty peed off you sent a hand made kingsize quilt and received a painted boiled egg hehe!

xx

awww ! sounds fab i unfortunately am not creative at all lol !

Im up for this! I am starting my new hobby so am looking for some lovely ladies (and men) to see what they think of my bits!

oh oh oh!! this sounbds good! ill be up for that!

I would be up for this, i have lots of sewing kit and a few courses coming up, so would love the opportunity to make something for someone. I think Pen has a good point though about price guide, otherwise it could be quite difficult to guage how far to go!

x x x

what sort of gifts would be expected ? x

Tamsen absolutely anything as long as you've made it yourself. Could be homemade Jam, a nappy wrap, blanket, necklace, cake anything at all.

Penny I think you have a good point too. Maybe if we see who's interested I can run a poll and we can vote for an appropriate max/min amount to spend?

Glad to see some of you would be interested..............anyone else out there want to join in???? Don't worry if you don't make anything yet, why not use this as an excuse to learn?

ok count me in ! i will try lol ! ,,,,, i also apologise now lol !

I would love to it sounds like a fab idea....but i couldnt make anything Cant wait to see all the pics though!

ill do it x

I'm happy to join in

Not very creative?? Don't be daft, Your one of our resident cake ladies!! If you get me a nice tripple choc cake would go down a treat

Mandy you're talking rubbish!!! You're really talented, you could do a fondant covered cake that would taste amazing!!! The fondant wouldn't travel too badly and you never know you may get someone who lives close by anyway x

Yeah id do it though it wud probs be rubbish

I didn't think about cake, I guess it could travel ok with the right packing. Ok count me in x

what a brilliant idea! you can count me in, i am not creative in the slightest but id be willing to make the special effort for one of you ladies, even if its just a burnt biccy i will try my hardest...but i do apologise now personally the longer we hav the better, so then at least i can have a few practice runs xx

I'm too am not very creative but I'm up for it too. I'll probs do some cakey bakeyness like biscuits or a handmade bracelet or something xxxxx
