So Christmas is just around the corner and I wanted to get together a craft box for the nieces and nephews like I did for the fall. But why do the same right? So I changed it up just a wee bit and made it into a Christmas Craft Bag from Aunt Santa Sue. I ordered some material on line and made little draw string bags that measured about 16" wide by 20" tall when completed and filled them with various craft items. I did include some other activities too that I usually include in my grandkids Christmas box. Here's a picture of 2 of the 4 bags after they were filled...
Now as for my own Grandkids, I had started the tradition of a Christmas box that the kids recieve on the eve of November 30th evry year. It has a calendar with daily activities counting down to Christmas starting with writing your letter to Santa. Certian things in the box are wrapped so its a surprise. Example one of the days states its a good night for a movie so open gift #4 and it would be a new Christmas movie they haven't seen yet. Usually an oldie but goodie lol. There's a new Christmas book wrapped up for the day that states read a book before bed open gift #5. I'm so excited about this years book. I got the Jimmy Fallon book 5 More Sleeps til Christmas. Here's their box nearly finished being filled this year.
I re-use the same box every year. My son returns it to me at the end of the holidays.
Well That's it for now. I'm definately more into a crafting mood than cardmaking mood right now so I'm not sure what my next post will be so...........................
Til next time
HAPPY WHATEVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
