Wedding Advent Countdown

 Well my son showed me a pic and said can you make one of these wedding advent countdowns for me for Rosie-no problem ONLY I went a little bit mad lol

And this---



Actually turned into this lol !!!


 Contents---

 


Then I thought I should have taken a pic of all the items before I wrapped them---there was two types of chocolate---two different packs of wax melts---face wipes---facial water---sml deodorant---face mask---sml bottle red wine---sml bottle prosecco.All numbered 1 to 10 and one opened each day in the 10 run up days to the wedding.Not bad considering the short notice!All papers and embellishments were oddments from stash.Please excuse some of the packaging as I had a fall in the street a couple of days ago really shook me up and hurt my knee and shoulder -as a result my spine is now playing up too as I have scoliosis-after breaking glasses only need a thing!!!

Even though it slightly evolved they were delighted thankfully.

What are you doing anyway, first break your glasses and then you trade yourself on the street... gosh!!
Lots of strange with the pain! Love xx

Wat leuk bedacht Carol.
Leuke opdracht.
Wat ben je aan het doen Allemaal.
Eerst op je bril, daarna vallen op straat.
Gelukkig komt het weer goed.
Beterschap gewenst.
Groetjes Elle-Jeanne

Oh Carol, I am really, really sorry to read aout your fall, how are you feeling now?

Love your Wedding Countdown, and all of it's thoughtful gifts. (It sort of reminds me of the Advent Countdown's I make each year of my bestie and my husband.) The wedding cannot be long now, how very exciting. I cannot wait to see what else you have been up to.

Carol L said...

You've outdone yourself with this wedding countdown creation! It's simply beautiful and done with such amazing detail. It's filled with love from the first to the last advent container! I'm so sorry you've fallen and hurt yourself. I too have scoliosis and I'm not as steady on my feet as I once was, so falling is always a fear of mine. I'm glad your fall didn't send you to the hospital, but do take care of yourself! You have a wedding to attend soon! Take care!

*Vicki* said...

Oh my goodness Carol!! This is absolutely brilliant and what a really cute and clever idea as I've not heard of this before! Super sweet for the couple and how fun to get ready for the big day to arrive! Love your really fun ideas with them all wrapped and how to make and shop and plan for it all too! I'm sure it was very appreciated! So sorry to hear about your fall and hope that you're doing much better now my friend. HUGS
