Advent Calendar...

The Advent Calendar I made for my girls using Basic Grey Figgy pudding and Fruitcake papers and matchboxes.

I made it last year but didn't have a blog to show it on then! 

They love it. 

I fill it with chocolates and nick-nacks from Hawkins Bazaar. 

The instuctions can be found HERE.
