I liked the christmas tree one too, was that handmade? i've looked around but cant see one small enough for the top.
my mum said she would like a bigger version to put her sewing stuff in so i might have a go at that.
i'd probably be "borrowing" some coins too
The tree was handmade and decorated with a christmas decoration
I googled 'christmas tree template. I cut two out of Green card. down the centre I made a slit, one half way from the top of one and one from the bottom of the other one. then i used a glue pen to stick them together. hope that makes sense.
I made a box last night but I haven't photographed it yet, I will and then I'll let you see it.

Dee - You can get bigger silver brads at stationers, have you tried W H Smith ?
Thanks Gwyneth, just online and they are only showing brass ones. Will be going into town on Thursday so I can call in then. I hope I can get them, I do want the larger ones for little fingers.
Here is my Halloween box... in the process of making another two. I will be working on my Christmas ones next..
Trying to think of different colour schemes though as dont want to do all red and green!
WOW... that is stunning... Love the colours

There are Christmas ribbons and embellishments available in all of the above colourways. There are also PP stacks containing most of these colours too - Papermania, Anita's, Dovecraft. HTH

when you have eliminated the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth
we will be able to tell who has been making all these come bonfire night .... we will be able to see the bonfires made completely of matches all across the land lol ! and some will be so big that we might not need to worry about central heating for weeks with the after burn lol!!!
mind you I think some of you ought to try and re sell the matches mack to the match companies as with their sales going crazy you ought to get a premium price ( and what better way to beat the credit crunch ) lol!
Oh Dee you sound just like me - having to find bits for making the calendar - in the end I found card toppers I liked and just pulled them apart for my advent calenar. If I'd had everything in front of me and didn't um and ah over which papers to use it would have taken a fraction of the time to make!
