*******************************************************And now the deets of my project...
I wanted to share with you an Advent calendar that I made for my husband. He is currently serving our country overseas, so he won't be home for Christmas this year. Christmas is such a special time isn't it? The birth of our Saviour Lord Jesus! Really, what better and more joyous time of year is there? It will be a bittersweet Christmas without him, but He truly makes the deployment separation easier. Praise God! :)
There were obviously a lot of supplies, hehe, so if you have any questions, just leave them in the comments and I'll be sure to get back to you ASAP :)
UPDATE: I've been getting a few questions, so figured I'd update this a touch, hehe. The basic supplies were a styrafoam circle covered in fabric, adhered with hot glue. The tins are by Wilton and run ~$20 for a bucket of 30 at Michaels. Again, the tins were also attached with hot glue! I used my nestabilities to cut out the circles adhered to many of the tins' covers. Most of the DP is from a DCWV stack from JoAnns, and many of the stickers and rub-ons are from Michaels by K&Co and Pooch & Sweetheart {$1 bin}. You can't see it well, but around the outside rim of the base runs a strip of dark green ribbon, I think from the clearance bin at Michaels.
Also, this project works so well with Verve's
Home for the Holidays project parade :)
EDIT: well this waaaas for Verve's project parade, but now it's out for publication :D check back later in the year for photos!
*******************************************************The next stop on this blog hop is: Maria Matter.
Thanks so much for taking the time to let me share with you. Enjoy the rest of your hop! God bless :)
so it took me a while {nothing like last minute} but when I saw the Embellish Magazine challenge with an owl, I knew I had to use the sentiment from Unity KOTM. this will be going to my DH overseas :)
