Well, I made one! Absolutely thrilled with it. Thanks again Karen for your idea and instructions. I would never in a million years have thought to make something like this. Also thanks Lee-Anne for the idea of the little jewelly/treasure box for a little girl. The advent calendar didn't do it for me, but the jewellry box sure did!

Woolworths must think they have a pyromaniac on their hands with all the matches I have bought! :shock:

Mine is a little rough around the edges, but I am sure one little girl will love it. I have 2 more to make and after I mod podge them, I will put their name on it.

One of the girls at work wants an advent calendar for her little one, so I will get to do an advent calendar after all! So far I have made 2 1/2 jewellery boxes. :shock:

Sure am on a roll, Karen! When something takes my fancy, it takes my fancy!

One more to go now..

Well - I WAS going to put it up, but the card reader has decided it doesn't want to work and I can't find DH's reader. :x

Oh well, another time, perhaps.

OK - card reader is now working. (I don't think it liked having tea spilled on it! :oops: )

The mother of the intended recipient of the advent calendar loves it, so that makes me happy.
