I guess I can show these now. I made these advent boxes for two DF of mine. I gave them to them a couple of days ago so they could begin opening them Dec 1st. Of course in each little box is a special wrapped present. You wouldn't believe how hard it was to fill all these spots with things they didn't already have. I so enjoyed making them and the best part is they get to have a surprise every day in December! How fun is that?

Just wonderful, Lynn! Isn't it hard to fill all those little spaces? I'm working on a piece that has lots of little cubbies...it's like "how many more to go?" So I know the work that went into your very beautiful Advent boxes. Bravo! LynnF

Lynn, these are beautiful. I've wanted to make some kind of advent calendar for years. My kids will all be old by the time I get to it, but you've just shown that doesn't matter. Adults would love it too!
