well, not really. but heres a project that i saw on another forum, so i cannot take credit for it but i decided to try it out. im going to be doing a few craft shows this season and am looking for things to make (yep, signed up with not much in mind 
)
its an advent/countdown to christmas calendar. the "days" are empty matchboxes that i'm going to fill with something, just havent figured that part out yet. i just wrapped them in paper and decorated them and used scal to cut numbers in different fonts and sizes. i bought magnet strips at the hardware store and put them on the back and the entire thing is a baking sheet. it was fun but a little time consuming to do. i think if i do another one it won't take as long because i've got the hang of it but even if i don't do another, i'll keep this one for myself! and by the way, what do you think i could charge for something like this? p.s. i swear i'll stop using my camera phone, lol.
