WOYWW aka PLAYTIME!!!

Its Wednesday and time to snoop across blogland oodling at all the crafty loveliness on peeople's desks, courtesy of the amazing Julia.

 I have finally got round to opening my Tando Advent tree so there it is in all its bitty glory!!!!!
 There are lots of bits to it LOL!!! 
 So while the children played nicely with the friends' they had round for tea, I got down to a bit of distressing.  I used Festive Berries and Evergreen (?? name gone totally blank - will look and add!) to distress the drawers and then misted them with some Tattered Angels gold glimmer mist.
I also stained the centre peicing using my trusty vintage photo distress stain - just love this stain.
So now I have 24 boxes and a fancy box and lid to construct, and them all to decorate!!!  The playing will continue for a few days methinks!!!  And then I have the Advent clock to play with :)))))

 
Supplies:
The Advent tree and clock, the inks and stains all came from That Craft Place.
