The Neat Treat.



If you liked the idea of Advent boxes filled with little treats in an earlier post,
here is a clever idea from
How About Orange

Little boxes made from paint swatches! So cool.
But not, in my opinion, quite as cool and clever as this 

See here for the how-to
I think these fantastic balls in white would fit right into a simple-but-sophisticated Christmas theme, don't you?

The Advent of Holidays.


How about this amazing wreath of succulent plants to grace your home for the holidays?
How fitting for a natural/eco theme this year.


Tell us about your project:
"It's a living succulent wreath. With there being more of a heightened awareness of being green and our carbon-footprints, as well as everyone being drawn to succulents in general, I turned it into a living wreath that works for the holiday season and beyond - too pretty!" 
Denise Porcaro - Flower Girl


The next two projects come with generous free printables from Jordan at Oh Happy Day.
Jordan is a letter press printer and has created stylish templates for these DIY advent calendars, the first using muslin bags (available online), the second using craft boxes...





So get crafting before first of December and give your little ones/hubby/workmates a smile as they count down to Christmas!
