H{ippity} Hop!

Hello and welcome! I hope you all survived AND enjoyed the holiday festivities this weekend. I sure did. It's always wonderful to re-live the Christmas excitement through the kids each year. My oldest was the most excited about the anticipation of Santa, he couldn't fall asleep AND he was up at 5 AM! Needless to say, I sent him back to bed until 7 (he didn't sleep, though). My middle guy was the most animated while opening his gifts-jumping up and down and screaming, "YES!" with every one. The littlest couldn't open his fast enough. It sure was fun and magical!

Here we are back with our Monday addition of {ippity}'s H{ippity} Hop. We are ringing in the New Year with this week's challenge. My project is a bit of a stretch to the theme, but I'm making it work. The day after Christmas is my MIL's birthday, so I made her this super cute box to put her gift card in (we also got her a book). Here's where the theme comes in.....we are celebrating another fabulous year of her life, ringing in another one!

This box was really easy to make thanks to my dear, thoughtful, crafty friend Crystal! She surprised me with a MS Scoring Board. The instructions were included and the box came together so fast! Thanks, girl!

Remember this card????

I made the box to match and gave her both. She loved it!
