Morning and I saw these little boxes on Patricia's blog and made a couple -my DIL saw them and asked if I would make 25 for Christmas as an alternative to an Advent calendar so I made 25 fist of all for them both to share-quite theraputic making them so yesterday when my spine and shoulder were bad I just sat and made another 25 so they both had one.
I used all scraps of paper and numbers found in stash just have to buy double the chocolates to put inside.

Super idea Carol. I used to make up Advent boxes with lots of little pressies inside for the Grandchildren, until they grew a bit and started asking if chocolate etc., could be replaced my miniatures!

That was quite a job but you can be proud of the result Carol xx
Holy cow! And I have a hard time making just four Christmas cards in a morning... no coloring, just paper and dies. You're amazing! These are all so pretty. I have enjoyed making boxes like this in all shapes and sizes, but not this many at once. It's also a lot of fun to cover match boxes. Geez, don't get me started. I hope you're feeling better.
what an awesome project Carol lots of work went into this x they will love it x
those boxes are perfect for an advent calendar ♥
Fabulous boxes

Gorgeous advent boxes. I made some for my nieces a few years ago and they love themx
I love to make boxes too, and these are just wonderful little gifts, especially filled with all that yummy candy! NJ on them all and a great job on the previous post of your journal page too! Love that whimsical little tree!
Your boxes are so pretty and fun Carol! I can tell it looks like a labor of love for sure! What a fun idea to open up the advent boxes each day too! I'm sure they'll look forward to it!!
These look great and a good way of using up scraps, but they look like lots of patience needed, but worth the effort,

Wow, these were such a great idea! So cute.
Oh my goodness you were busy making all those great boxes. Hmmm twice the chocolate and goodies...I would have to watch that I was not sampling as I was filling the boxes. LOL!
Your little Advent boxes are such a labour of love - 50 is no mean feat - especially when you are in so much pain. I hope you are feeling better now. Congratulations on your inventiveness.
