I too enjoy opening the doors to see what's inside and also looking for the correct number. This would be a totally blast to see in real life and to make. Fantabulously amazeballs and so very creative! I bet the little guy is enjoying his advent adventure.

Your pile of advent gifts is just wonderful - I love the combination of papers, and great to hear how you improvised your way around your divided craft stash (I shouldn't complain about not being able to find anything in my room - at least it's all in one place, though of course I'm the one who's been thousands of miles away for most of the year!). Fabulous festive decor.<br />Alison xWords and Pictureshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05672524847577136244noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5009948647005893814.post-19277661673791937112016-12-05T18:17:11.924-05:002016-12-05T18:17:11.924-05:00Lynn, apologies for not having been able to visit ...Lynn, apologies for not having been able to visit for the longest time.<br />This is stunning, an incredible creation!<br />Wishes<br />LynneLynne Moncrieffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10736157248294082863noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5009948647005893814.post-49878099086073396182016-12-04T02:06:41.261-05:002016-12-04T02:06:41.261-05:00Oh my Lynn you went to town with the box die and c...Oh my Lynn you went to town with the box die and created the most fabulous advent calendar of your own, it's truly magnificent in design and Christmas appeal.

I love this wonderful project, a real labour of love, so very thoughtful of you and I can just imagine that little boy's eyes when he saw this - wow! Well done for getting it all made in time for Dec 1 too. Your paper choices are fantastic and I love all the little adornments you added too. A brilliant project, beautifully executed! As you know, I love Eileen's dies and I too, hope that Sizzix keep doing the Little Sizzles! Have a lovely weekend...

I love your choice of papers and decoration, and I have to agree with you, I would not have the numbers sequentially, I love the idea of hunting around for the correct box, just like we did as kids with the advent doors. I am so tempted to make one but as it's the 2nd already it's going to be another 'one day I'll make it' project! I am now off to Google Sizzles mat board - there is always something interesting that I have never heard of on your blog!!<br />Diana xxDiana Taylorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02475927836717719695noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5009948647005893814.post-59666979430232615452016-12-02T10:17:39.991-05:002016-12-02T10:17:39.991-05:00Oh my goodness, the entire design of the stacked &...Oh my goodness, the entire design of the stacked "tree shaped" boxes just tickles me! I love love the beautiful paper choices and gorgeous little "knobs." What fun and what a great neighbor you are! I'm sure he will treasure this for many years. We had a church lady give us porcelain Easter bunnies each year and when I got older and asked my mom about them and found out that she had given them away I was so upset! What a special memory for me and I'm sure this lad. I know things are crazy for you these days, but I wish you all of the peace and joy there can be this Christmas.

I still treasure the moment I read that my blog was one of your inspirations last year (was that last year???) So good to see you blogging; I see I missed one or two posts in Oct. when I was elbows deep in Halloween prep. I adore this advent calendar, and what a sweet friend you are to make it for your little guy!

I always had Advent Calendars for my kids growing up and they loved them. I love how you decorated all of your boxes - a labor of love, I'm sure, but also fun and well worth it. So glad to see your blog post because I miss seeing your awesome creations! Thank you so much for your visits to my blog recently, and especially yesterday's with my comments about Brody. He's home and doing better now - fingers crossed. Thanks so much, my friend! Hugs!!
