None of them are 100% complete but here are the countdown matchboxes that will have some pink on them for the swap at A Swap for All Seasons. My favorite came together unexpectedly. Cookies for Santa: I paroosed thru my scrapbook stickers and found the milk and cookie stickers, used a graduation announcement pink sparkle background to cut my heart out and used baby beads to spell To Santa.
Fun!!
Some of my creations are plain ol' snowy fun, some reverent, some childlike. Hey...that is a pile of snowballs with the Get Crazy polar bear and penguin, not polar bear poop. lol
And, I kinda got too many pink tennis balls for the Christmas morning puppy. :0)
You can see the PINK on her gown irl.
But...you can really see lots of BLUE on most of them too.
If I knew how to put music on this post ya'll would have to listen to..."All I want for Christmas is a Hippopotamus!" hahahaha Did ya notice the FLUFFY with the Hippo stuffed animal sticker? My youngest loved Hippos when he was younger.
To see a little more about this project check out my Christmas blog,
Edit Detail: these are plain ol' matchboxes from Dollar Tree. You'd have to buy 3 pks of 10 to have enough for an ADVENT countdown. They were stashed in the kitchen utencil area when I found them.
KIDS LOVE THIS PROJECT. SONS FRIENDS KEEP COMING IN AND WANTING TO DO IT!
Linky fun:
