Christmas Calendar

Last month I picked up a calendar kit from my local scrapbook store (Right at Home). The calendar is a 'Countdown to Christmas' calendar, where each of 25 days is a doo-dad on a magnet & the magnets hang on a cookie tray (painted red with a thousand coats). Making the doo-dads on the magnets was fun (each is mounted on a painted chipboard shape). The papers & stickers are by Creative Imaginations and I love the Heidi Swapp chipboard title stickers.There were other things needed...sandpaper, Modge podge, pink/blue/green/white paints, a drill or 'Cropadile' to punch the holes in the tray, & instructions on how to use the font file in wordperfect, so it took me a while to pull it together. At least its hefty enough to last a few years. The paper ornaments may not enjoy the same fate.
