If you're looking for inspiration as to what you could make with this fun little machine, then check out the Christmas Activity Family Tree that I made.

 

 

 

After painting the tree, I used some gold vinyl from Silhouette for the numbers. This was such a simple, easy project and the rewards are so great. Each little box pulls out and has an activity to do each day. This means our family has a chance to do something together everyday, serve others, and learn more about the real meaning of Christmas.

 

Now that you have some inspiration, just head over and use the code "SOMEDAY" at checkout to get your own machine and get crafting. You will NOT be sorry for purchasing one of these, especially at these amazing prices. They won't last long and prices are only good through December 8th, so hurry!!!
