It's almost time...!!! 2023 Advent Box ...#8

After almost 3 months, my Advent Box is now ready and the first few are packaged and ready to go.

I will be sending out an email tomorrow afternoon, Sunday 5 November) at 4pm BST, with details.  PLEASE read the email before clicking 'reply' as it will contain details of cost, P&P and payment methods.  As I no longer have a business PayPal account I have a preferred method of payment so do make sure you read through before requesting a box.

Last year demand totally outstripped supply and I know many people were disappointed, however, once again my boxes will be offered on a 'first come, first served' basis, this time with advance warning of the email.

I also have four little dressed toy dolls available, which I will list here early next week, as well as just a few little Christmas boxes with a selection of tiny toys.  Again, I will list them here next week when the dust has settled.   I am happy to combine postage on any of these with an Advent Box. 

If you are hoping to reserve an Advent Box tomorrow, GOOD LUCK!

2023 Advent Box ...#7

 


Eeeek.... the countdown timer ran down yesterday while I was in a mad flurry of activityAt times recently I've wondered if I'd ever be able to get my Advent Box finished, particularly as I've been in and out of hospital over the past 6 weeks for an existing condition which flares up from time to time, especially when I'm under stress.

Go figure. 

However, today, I finally completed the last few kits.  Granted my workroom looks like a small thermonuclear device has detonated, and I have absolutely NO CLUE where anything is, BUT...... they're all done.

Now I have to package them all into their little Christmassy bags, and affix their Advent numbers, which will take another few days.  I've ordered the postal boxes which should arrive by Monday but, unbelievably, I'm on the home straight.

I showed PP the results of my labours earlier and she made me promise, on pain of imminent death, that I will never, ever, do this again.  And I gave my solemn promise. 

So.... stand by for the release of my final Advent Box.

Further details will follow this weekend......
