Milk and Cookies for Santa

Happy Wednesday,

Merry Christmas Eve

and

Welcome to today's Project

First, I would like to wish everyone a very Merry and safe Christmas.

Today I would like to share with you a plate and glass that I painted for Santa's Cookies and Milk.

I used glitter paint to give them that little extra sparkle.

I found the Santa charger plate at Michael's and thought that it would be the perfect addition.

12 Days of Christmas Blog Hop - Day 10

Happy Wednesday,

and

Welcome to...

Day 10

of the

12 Days of Christmas Blog Hop

Now onto my project for today...

Today I would like to share with you the advent calendar that I made for my Daughter. She loves the Grinch, so I made a Grinch themed advent calendar. I took your ordinary over the door shoe holder, added some red and white sparkly garland that is actually meat to go on small Christmas tree's.
Each day she moves the stuffed Grinch over to the next day/pocket, turns the number card over to revel a page from the Grinch story book to read, then she can open a little present wrapped in Grinch wrapping paper of course.
