I am not sure what happened this summer but I really have been unable to log on to post. I have still enjoyed reading others blogs but hope to post AT LEAST once a week from now on because I really miss it! I feel like I have still been creating but not posting. Well the most recent craft I worked on was making a slider box advent calendar for my niece. She had her tonsils out recently so I wanted to give her a get well/early Christmas gift. I think for my first time making anything like this, including the slider boxes, it turned out cute. I am hoping to get a few more made this week for my children (minus my 16 month old) and maybe my other niece, if I can get it done. Wish me luck!
Here are the pics of the advent calendar. Each drawer has a little surprise in it. It was hard to find little items to fit in there but I really enjoyed making it. I covered chipboard to make the top and bottom pieces to attached the boxes too.

The top is just a piece of chipboard covered in paper that I embossed using a sizzix die. |
