Advent Matchboxes

Last Christmas I made one of these for Amanda, my work Secret Santa. It was such a fun craft to make, and so appreciated by the soon-to-have-baby-Bryce mama, that I decided to make one for my sister Karla, pregnant with her first, a little boy. I chose a cookie-patterned scrapbook paper that makes me think of my mom and the tradition of baking and cooking that she's passed on to us all. And to the Matchbox car I crafted a teeny tiny wreath which ties to the family tradition of my Dad putting wreaths on the grills of all of our cars on Thanksgiving.
