"wonder"ful shadow box

hello gypsies!
i hope you've enjoyed following the "so knotty" tutorials as much as i've enjoyed making them. and now the reason for today's post.

our "so knotty winner" is - "debb"
congratulations! email me your shipping info at suburbngypsycaravan@gmail.com

and now for the first oh-so-jolly xmas project!

it is officially the xmas season - i love the nip of cold in the air, the smokey smell of wood fires, the twinkly lights in the neighbors' trees. i also love the feeling of nostalgia i get, reminiscing as i unwrap the ornaments and trinkets i've collected through the years. to celebrate my warm fuzzy side, i would like to share this little shadow box with you. so hold on to your sleigh bells, and away we go!

 

a timeless shaker in a snowbank, hanging icicles and snow-tipped trees.

 

a happy santa, greenery, and a tiny strip of film - do you remember film?

a tiny bottle of captured winter - snow, branches, and a jingle bell - snow flakes and snow drifts.

"dear santa" just started, grandpa's pen nib, and jolly santa - do you still write to old saint nick?

i hope this inspires you to make magic this xmas.
stop by again to learn how to make your own icicles and snow drifts!
