Let the Countdown Begin!!!
I just LOVE Christmas!! I LOVE the MERRINESS...I LOVE the BRIGHTNESS...and I especially LOVE the feelings of GOOD WILL that it brings...and the CELEBRATION of the BIRTH OF OUR SAVIOR! Today I start counting down the days and I think the countdown...those days that lead up to the actually day are what make the whole season so AMAZING! A few weeks ago for City Crafter Challenge Blog I made a little box that inspired me to make 24 more little boxes and use them as an advent calendar for my son who is serving as a missionary for our church. I finally got all the boxes made...scriptures and candy tucked inside...and the boxes all decorated. He should receive his package with them today so he can start counting down until Christmas. One thing that I am counting down to is the Christmas phone call where our family can talk to him. We only get two phone calls a year...one at Mother's day and one at Christmas so it is a REALLY BIG DEAL! I'm so EXCITED! At any rate, I thought you might like to see the finished product of all the boxes. So here it is:

I love Christmas too and I love your boxes!
ReplyDeleteOh Cheryl! You must be so proud of your son...and what a special gift to make for him. I hope your Christmas day phone call delights you and warms your heart!! Hugs!!
ReplyDeleteFabulous gifts, Cheryl! I know your son is going to feel your love at Christmas. I love your countdowns. I am not going to do one this year, it is my year to have the grandchildren, lots of work involved with that. I will just enjoy yours. Have a wonderful day.
ReplyDeleteHe is going to LOVE this. I'm so jealous that he is here in the US and you are able to send him something like this. With Tannon serving in Spain I have to limit the size of the package I can send. It was an adventure trying to figure out what to send him that could fit in the box. What a fun mom you are. These are just darling. I'd love to know what you put inside each box.
ReplyDeleteWow! Look at all those a,aging little boxes filled with goodies! I would have a hard time waiting each day though! Totally adorable!
