I had a lot of fun making the paper hats and crackers, but the garlands were fiddly and ended up a bit wonky. They look okay in the photos though. I bought the food - it took ages to get everything - and actually had this planned way before you suggested it - I was longing to tell you, but I wanted it to be a surprise!
I'll go look at that community now!

Date: 2012-12-27 10:25 pm (UTC)I bet the garlands were fiddly! Well done. And the crackers look totally like real ones - I should know, I bought some in Birmingham recently.
That was a nice surprise indeed! And I see you found the comm. Have a look around - it's lovely, and very diverse.
I'm happy I infected you with the action figure bug - my work here is done *bg*

Date: 2012-12-27 11:14 pm (UTC)I actually made the crackers from bits of old crackers. They weren't too difficult to do, though they are a bit bigger than I would have liked.
I am definitely hooked, so thanks for that too =D

Date: 2012-12-27 06:28 pm (UTC)Those Christmas crackers are awesome! Nicely done. A few years ago I ordered some from a catalog so my family and I could figure out what ya'll were doing over there in the U.K. LOL. They were bigger than I imagined.
Happy Birthday to everyone celebrating it today. :)

Date: 2012-12-28 06:07 pm (UTC)That's 2 1/2 Jacks for each Ianto! I'd imagine that not only are they well-cared for, they're exhausted! :-p

Hats?!? I just couldn't get my brain around that! So we ordered some, ostensibly for my partner's daughter who was around six, but really for us, of course. :-p
That's when I learned the hats were made of tissue paper, and things started making a lot more sense. LOL.
And yes, they were lots of fun! :)

Date: 2012-12-27 10:30 pm (UTC)When I was in Birmingham last weekend, I bought a box with six crackers as I also was curious what the British people do have in them. But when I came to the airport the lady at the desk asked me if I had crackers in my luggage and they told me they are not allowed at the plane. So I opened them all at the airport and just took the items with me.
I got: A yo-yo, a pen, a mirror, a nail clipper, a picture frame and a fiddly game.
We do have crackers in Germany as well, but they are a bit smaller and we do them at the New Year's eve instead. And inside are most small plastic things, they are a sign for what's to come in the new year. And little paper balls to throw around. I have been able to use a bit of the plastic stuff for my figures.
So, what did you get?

Date: 2012-12-28 05:57 pm (UTC)I ordered them from Victorian Trading, which is based in the U.S., and they arrived in a truck with no trouble.
I never even considered that you probably can't mail them, either. Since 9/11 we have a LOT of restrictions as to what goes in the post. There's nothing on the site about it. I guess because they ship via the trucks, it's not an issue.
To be honest I don't remember what I got--this was six or seven years ago. Charming little plastic things, but beyond that I've got nothing. :/

Date: 2012-12-27 10:52 pm (UTC)Thank you, I had a lot of fun setting everything up, but it was difficult getting all their hats to stay on and I only noticed afterwards that I'd knocked the Christmas cake half off its plate. Oops! I'll blame it on Nosy nibbling the icing....
