Another Christmas in January Project

As I shared a couple of days ago (see the post here), I contributed several projects to the 2009 Better Homes and Gardens annual Christmas book.


This one is an "countdown to Christmas" project, created from a plain white box with drawers by Karen Foster. I covered the sides and back of the box, decorated the drawers, and fashioned a "topper" to provide a focal point and additional height. Click on the photo to biggify!

I used Imaginesce products for this project, but you could also create a very cute countdown calendar using leftover bits of this and that.

I have a countdown calendar of my own that I created from a Starbucks product (see it here). The trick is to fill it with goodies that I do not like, otherwise I would eat them all on the first day! :-)

Wow Janet! Your creativity amazes me!!! And of course using Starbucks is the best choice of all....

I love this! I have the Starbucks calendar that I got on discount after Christmas a couple of years ago, but I haven't altered it.

Ditto what Kristina said, exactly...love this, and I too purchased the Starbucks calendar when you first touted them, and still haven't done anything with it:)
