Good Morning my dears, I am so thrilled that you've come to join in on our Winter/Holiday Blog Hop Party being held over at
Magnolia-licious Challenge
If you've come here from the very talented Chrissy then you are on the right track if not then please pop back over to the Magnolia-licous Blog Hop and start from the beginning. I wouldn't want you to miss out on the chance to win the fabulous prizes on offer for completing the Hop.
Talking about prizes - do let me tell you about them and how you could be one of the winners.
There will be three winners in total
Here are the details: The 1st winner will be the person who collects all the clues and letters from every Blog taking part and unscrambles them to make a Holiday phrase. Once you've worked out what the phrase is, all you need do is email Suzanne with your answer - you will find her details over on the
Magnolia-licious Challenge Blog The prize will be a fabulous surprise package from Diane to the value of $50.00 for the randomly drawn winner
The 2nd way you could win is to create a Holiday/Winter Project and enter it into the Magnolia-licious Challenge blog which will run until December 31st.
The 1st prize winner will be chosen by Diana and will receive a Surprise Package to the value of $100.00 "yes" you did hear me correctly $100.00 there will be a second winner drawn randomly who will receive a surprise package of $50.00 from Diana.
Wow!!! what can I say, not only do you get to see all the fantabulous creations that the Design Team and Guests have created but you get to be in with a chance of winning a wonderful gift too. Do please pop over to the Magnolia-licious Store and take a peek at the fabulous selection of Magnolia Stamps and other branded stamps, Dies, papers, shadow boxes, storage solutions. So many wonderful products for every crafting need.
I am not going to keep you in suspense any longer I know this is your last stop on the Hop and you want to get those letters.
My letters are lower case r & o
I took an old Advent Calendar and revamped it using lots of left over Christmas paper from last year and of course some sweet Angelic Tilda's doohickey dies with tons of other bits n bobs. I'm quite pleased with the result.
This is the finished project which is now sitting in my Daughters Dining room and the little drawers are now filled with chocolates
The Before picture with work in progress
I will pop a list of ingredients used with links where possible at the bottom of my post for you.
Thank you so much for taking part in the Hop, I do hope you enjoyed it and have been enthused and motivated just a little.
Now go unscramble those letter and send your email to Suzanne, then get creating and come join in the challenge.
Wishing you a wonderful day.
Hugs

This is gorgeous, love the vintage feel of it, although I really liked the original too, lol. I don't think I could alter something that nice, I'd just have to have two, LOL I could live with that!! I've wanted an Advent calendar keepsake for yrs and I think I am going to have to create one now that I've seen two in this hop alone. What better way to show case Magnolia images, they are just so adorable and need to be shown off :)
