You MUST Look At What Lesley Made!

This is the fabulous and festive exploding box Christmas card Lesley gave me at card group.


Here's a closer look at the lid.


Here's the wonderful sight that greets you when you take the lid off! 


Each of the four green pockets holds a tag.



Here is a close up of the sweet scene in the centre.  A deer family, tree, chocolate snowman, snowballs - and just look at those itty bitty wrapped and decorated gifts!


Absolutely AMAZING isn't it?!  Can you imagine the time, effort and tremendous patience that went into it? Guess what - Lesley made an exploding box for everyone at card group - that's TEN of these!  TEN!    * faints at the thought *  I'd have lost the will to live halfway through the first one!  Plus she's made more for family and friends!

I know Lesley looks at my blog - she's lovely, a real sweetheart and she'll be embarrassed that I've showcased her talent here!  But I feel something as fabulous as this needs to be shared!

Lesley,

heartfelt thanks for this beautiful creation, I will treasure it always!  We had guests at our home on Saturday night and they were all blown away by it!  Ruth x
