Countdown to Christmas (advent box)

Hi again,

I hope you are all enjoying your Thanksgiving in the U.S.  Being thankful is a state of mind, something that we forget or neglect to be at times. My car is in the repair shop right now, and I was really upset about it, but then I thought, " well at least I managed to get from Target to the dealership without breaking down on the side of the busiest road in town." So for that, I am thankful. 

On to the project this week, my advent box that I made for my girls. They are all grown up now, but they still love opening the little boxes everyday and popping the chocolate treats.

I box itself is a Karen Foster design. I don't know if you can even get them anymore. I did the clear emboss resist technique on the paper and inked super bright colors over top. Then it was just a matter of cutting, taping, and embellishing. I think that's my favorite part. I pile a whole bunch of greenery and bling on my projects at Christmas. (You should see my house, it takes me a week to decorate LOL)
