Jacob’s Advent House

Sorry about the quality of the pictures in this post, but the pictures are rescued from Google after I lost hundreds of pictures in a “deleting” disaster.
downloadSo briefly this is the Advent House I made for my best friends adopted son Jacob for his first Christmas with her.

I used a wooden Tesco Advent House that I had the foresight to buy many of as I knew I would never see them again at £5!

Rather than try to repeat my original post I will just use the pictures to tell the story and just apologise about not giving details about papers etc.like I usually try to do, which came from the HobbyCraft Christmas 2013 range, but I doubt if they are still available now.

Thank you for wanting to leave a comment. I HATE verification and apologise for the extra bother it causes, however, if I don't have it I get all sorts of dubious spam added and the comments would be bogged down utter ***p!

Occasionally I get comments on posts from several years ago, again, I have to apologise, copies of TEMPLATES etc. that I once offered are now NO LONGER AVAILABLE, when my last computer died, I lost everything and decided not to replace any them.
