yesterday, when i arrived home from work,
Mr D greeted me with...
"Lynne, what is in that big box that arrived today?"
my answer was...
"the beginnings of this year's Christmas, hi honey!"
(you always end the sentence with "honey" when
an unannounced parcel with your name on it
hits the doorstep!)
i
am
so
excited!
Cat's French vintage wine tags are the inspiration for
this year's Advent calendar!
the
big
box?
it was from save - on - crafts!
i found some very "cool stuff" there this year!
from now until Christmas Day there will be no time to
sit idly while watching the Cougs and the Hawks!
the first peek at Advent...
...zinc and natural!
a parcel filled with very special numbers should be
arriving before long!
once the numbers are are placed,
i will be adding a touch of Christmas color!
can't wait to show you the finish!
withLove!
