My repin today is a combo deal.

Part 1 came via Kimberly Stokes 

originally from Just a Girl.

and Part 2 came via Sarah Van Beveren

originally from Kim McCrary

Since the kids are all grow'd up, I liked the idea of an

activity based advent.  Un grow'd up kids like toys and candy.

Hmmmm...maybe I'll throw in a few toys and candy for myself!

Anyhow...I also liked the wrapped matchbooks - so pretty. 

My fridge is stainless...ever decide to stick a magnet to that?  Hah! 

 I decided my mom's fridge needed a cheery Christmas makeover instead.

So here's the scoop.

I chose my supplies -

• • Amber Ink ipapers printed on Kraft
  • matchboxes - the cheap kind .
  • round 1/4 " ceramic magnets
  • odds and ends embellishments from my old stash. 

Then I wrapped matchboxes and decorated them, glued a magnet to the back

and put the activities inside (checked the calendar and coordinated every doggone one)

and then I put a little brad on the side to make it like a drawer.  See that green button?  Cute right?

Finally and I mean finally

I arranged them on my mom's fridge.

And whatayaknow.

It turned in to an advent Christmas tree!

Sweet!

Okay.

Your turn.

One random winner gets a $5 gift certificate.

For what?

More paper of course.
