Okay now, for those of you who know me well, You will know that i am just not a crafty type gal.
I enjoy thinking about all the crafts i could make and should make and often times you will catch me purchasing the items to make this stuff. well, like i have said before.. I now know better. If i don't have someone that will force me to finish once i get half way, its just going to stay that way. I have so many half done projects sitting in my craft cupboard. well i did, i threw alot of them away *sigh* The reason i think this happens is:
1. Because i hate the mess
2. Because it ends up getting more expensive than i thought it would be (LOL)
3. Because i get bored and my mind just wanders away to something else.
BUT, I did it!! My craft project is almost complete!
I couldn't find an advent calendar that i liked last year anywhere. (Although, as soon as i finished this one, i found tons i like... isn't that always the way it works? LOL)
I talked my girlfriend Tammy into making one for her kids with me, she actually made 2 - one for each of her kiddos. Me...well, i am not that ambitious....LOL my kids are going to have to take turns darn it! :)
Looks like the picture turned out a tad blurry but, i already moved all of the ornaments to the back again ready for tomorrow so, this will have to do :)
I know my magnets kinda look squished because some of them are toooooo big AND it is kinda "loud" (i tried to tame it down a bit with the addition of the cream color paper.) No, it didn't work out exactly how i wanted it BUT, For my first crafty creation in a LOOOOOOOOONG time, i am quite proud of it! :)
Most of my magnet items were from the dollar store ;)
