It's been super busy here with cooking and baking and baking and cooking....... lol.... big family dinner tonight! But I thought I would pop over and show you.....my advent calendars!!!!
Yes, you may remember that I showed a little bit of panic back in November when confronted with this.....
The big question was..... would I get this Kaisercraft calendar finished by the 1st of December??!!
Well I painted the frame.......
and put all the little boxes together......
I then used Kaisercraft's Glisten collection to cover the background of the shadow box, and all those little drawers.....
Biggest part done! Now all that was left was a bit of decorating and embellishing.
And I left the rest of the background blank as I've had the clever (or not?) idea of buying a new ornament or craft piece every Christmas to put in this space......
I added a little something special.......... LIGHTS! (I just twirled a string of battery operated fairy lights through the tinsel). Pretty, yes?
Now I had so much fun making this calendar I realised I also had a Dusty Attic calendar in my stash. Sooooo.......
The calendar and houses are covered with Bo Bunny's Merry & Bright....
Now both my boys have new Advent Calendars. They are WAY too old for them but - like I say to them - they have to act excited for ME!! lol
Ok, off to check my oven!
Have a great day / evening
