… the story of my life!
Large, very large match boxes were used to make this … it turned out to be quite big, and am thinking of keeping little doo dads [buttons, brads, clips] within.
A view of the three sides.
… and the drawer …
Painted the drawers with Distress ink, and used decopatch for all the sides! It was fun to do … 🙂
To answer Marja’s question the boxes were bought … I found them at the supermarket in packs of ten … LOL … I’ll have to go to another supermarket tomorrow as I don’t want to be thought of as an arsonist!!! 😀
I’ve also bought these hugamungus [is that a word??] boxes to make something similar!
You can press on the photos to see bigger photos! Well, another week coming up tomorrow or is it today??? 😀
First side …
Second side
Inspired by the Advent box made by Tracie Hudson found at BubblyFunk’s website which is different to mine … LOL … I wanted 25 boxes and not 24 … I’m strange about that! 🙂
Already working on my second one …
I love my nieces at this age, especially when they are in their talkative mood, because all of our conversations happen over the phone now. Well, we were talking last night [I’d found these lovely Christmas ornaments with the Disney princesses on them and sent them with their Dad who was here in Athens on a seminar] and here is our talk …
Me: Did you like the baubles I sent you?
Sofia: Yes, but why did you sent them?
Me: Well, you’ll be decorating your tree soon and I thought you’d like them!
Sofia: Have you decorated your tree yet Auntie?
Me: No, not yet.
Sofia: Grandma told me that it dried up.
[we had a live Christmas tree on the balcony that they girls had decorated last Xmas, and true enough it didn’t survive this summer’s heatwave so we threw it out]
Me: Oh, right!! The Summer sun ‘burnt’ it !! 😦
Sofia: Wasn’t it wearing any suntan cream?? [She said this quite seriously!!!]
Me: LOL No sweetheart and I forget to put a hat on it!!!
Sofia: Silly, Auntie, trees don’t wear hats!!! LOL
But apparently they do put on suntan lotion !!!!!

Well, I don’t know if I’ve mentioned it before but I also love to knit …. in the early 90s I had gone thru quite a phase, knitting for myself and everyone in the family … about 3 years ago I knitting again a small sweater. This summer was visiting my aunt, watching her knit, I got the itch again …. so I’m working on a project to make sweaters for my nieces … It’s all done in ONE piece … at the moment my mom has taken it with her to Naxos so see how well it fits, and how much longer it should be! 😀
Pages and 6 & 7 for Shimelle‘s Learn Something new every day ….
Hopefully I’ll get it done by the time I’ll be starting the Christmas Journal. I’ve ordered some Christmas pattern paper, embellishments, and stamps from CraftsULove I just loved their Christmas stuff …
I’ve bought cards from Unicef already and well as wrapping paper. As I don’t see myself making cards this year, buying them might as well go to a worthy cause. I have too much stuff to do with work, so even when I am home, I’m always busy with something for Lexinet! 😀
I don’t mind, it’s interesting, but I love been crafty too!!!
Well, I saw this on Sharon’s Blog and just had to give it a try.I love quizes as you know, but some of those questions just went OVER my head!!! LOL
