Hi Everyone,
I finally gave crafting a try! I figured I start with something that does not require much in terms of good vision, since I still feel quite handicapped in that department.... And I have gotten a lovely package from Australia - you guess right! I could not hold back any longer and needed some of Kylie Purtells ( Happy Little Stampers) lovely new stamps, although this set is from her first release. I just had to have it. Those big bold numbers are just perfect to use for a simple advent calendar.
I made it for my sister, who pampered us with weekly 3 course meals throughout my period of forced inactivity.
I had those little baggies in my stash and just filled them with goodies - of course I stamped them first. I put a brad in to close them and strung them up with Bakers twine. The branch is from my garden. I liked it, with all those things growing on it.
I also glittered those acorns - also from my garden. If you are interested on how to do that, I can make a tutorial and post it.
Linking up with:
Simon Says Wednesday - anything goes
CHNC challenge extra - anything Christmas
Sparkles Forum - anything but a card
And lastly, for all of you who are celebrating Thanksgiving today and are cooking:
Happy Thanksgiving to you!

wie schön, dass du deinen Humor bewahrt hast (siehe Witz!!!).
Schön, dich hier wieder ab und zu zu sehen und dabei festzustellen, dass es bergauf mit dir geht.
Dein Adventskalender ist schön geworden und ich denke, deine Schwester wird sich darüber freuen. Es sind die kleinen Dinge, nicht immer die großen, die Freude machen, denn man sieht, dass jemand an einen denkt.
Liebe Grüße zum 1. Advent,
Flo
