Advent calendar

 

I started working on this after seeing one in Up2Scrap & wanted to avoid the children's character ones with a chocolate. I can't imagine I"ll work on it again till next November/December now but thought I post what I have done. I'm going to put bible verses & things we can do together on the lead up to Christmas. Posted by Picasa

Lara your calendar looks great you should keep doing it so that it is finished before next year.
By the way finally put something on my blog and even managed to post a picture so may get round to posting more often.
Also thanks for the Christmas card you sent nice to see we have some things in common.

Wow awesome Lara. I too saw that in Up2Scrap but just can't bring myself to scrap Xmas stuff yet. Can't wait to see it finished.

The advent calendar is a lovely idea. I only wish (last year) I'd seen it earlier in the year ... but I reckon you've got the best idea - start now in January so it's ready (no rush) for December.
Looking forward to progress updates!

I love this - I so hate those chocolate Bob the Builder "Advent' calendars. There's nothing Advent about them. I think I'll have to do one (two?)of these for next year, too.

Awesome Lara! I might do two of these as well! So much more personal and more fun than a chocolate one that falls down the back/melts or is just plain missing! Good on you!

I've just collected my prizes from a friends place - she went shopping to spend my $500 voucher at Scrapbookers Delight in Auckland for me - how cool is that a prize & a personal shopper!!!??? Any way I got quite a few bits of patterned paper, cardstocks (still need white!!!), a new trimmer, an embossing heat gun, some stazons, some distressing ink a new cutting mat, some cool powders, adhesives & tombow, anyway, have to go put it all in it's place so I can use it. Niks coming up tonight so we can play - have a tag to make for our cyber friend Sal of Scrap Of Faith as she had her fifth baby - Cowper early this morning - Congrats Sal! Anyway, gotta vacuum since Niks coming....

blenheim

We are currently in Blenheim. Have been doing some of the wineries - a work trip for Jase - we just get to go along! I'v been playing with some of the phaunt actions by Kylie Banks- my faves are phaunt magic instant & then beastly colour. Got the links from an online class at Scrapbook Outlet with Mandi Haynes. above: Katya on a walk in Waikari with Jases parents. Below - Harold the older giraffe at Orana Park, just before I met Vicki & checked out the stamping up catalogue. Jase & I joined a winery tour today - was a great way to meet some different people & to see & learn a little bit about some of the local wineries. Feel quite isolated without my home internet connection though!
