My Advent Calender



Well, I actually finished a project! I loved this idea and wanted to make one, but I had no luck finding boxes to use. Chipboard boxes are nowhere in this town. I ended up at the scrapbook store and they had a diecut machine in back that you could use to make little boxes and purses out of cardstock. All you needed was paper! The store had lots of fancy, expensive embellishments to buy, but I was determined to use stuff I already had. I found black sticker letters that I bought 4 years ago to scrapbook our wedding....(didn't get to that yet) I'm surprised they still had "stick" to them! I found the frame in the garage (it didn't sell in our last garage sale) Now I need to add the "treats" for Olivia each day. I'm thinking stickers, bouncy balls, anything with Santa on it.
