If you read yesterday's post about the Advent Swap - you would have seen the amazing box of goodies that arrived for me all wrapped up and waiting for December 1st to arrive.
My Secret Santa came forward, an amazing lady by the name of Tracy from the blog Inside the scrap heap.
And because I never read instructions properly I completely missed out on the fact that there was a package to be opened straight away - and away from small eyes.
Once the kids were tucked up in bed I did just that. And was completely blown away.
Tracy had made for Bell, Tom and George an Advent Tree. It is so beautiful, I keep taking looks at it and pulling out the wee draws that are filled with chocolates.
I know they are going to love it. I can't wait to see their faces, when they get to open the very first draw. This is our first Advent Calendar, and will be a feature of our family Christmas's for many, many years to come.
Thank you so very much Tracy.

It is awesome! What a treasure and keepsake :)
