Saw a 'STENDIG' Calendar yesterday....l want one loved it googled it and found it was huge 3'x4' loved it even more....then l found out its around £30 + or - a few hehehehe
thought l'd be inspired and started to hand cut large numbers and make something of sorts.....now realise why its £30 +....maybe santa will bring me one for Christmas

Now got to decide what to do with all the b/w numbers l have...'cos they do look good

ADVENT CALENDAR....FINISH TODAY!

Not happy with the colour of the numbers on the b/w one and of course they are far too big so adding red ones and smaller should be finished today along with the pink/lime green one too and maybe even the 3rd bright colours one

Have a fun day all
