Snowman Money Holder

 Looks like a card - but it's a narrow box to hold a gift of cash.....

I used a print and cut box from the Silhouette store and cut it with my Cameo - first I had to work out how to do it, it's been a while since I used the machine. I sprinkled Frantage shabby white embossing powder onto the snowman image and added a big white seam binding bow (from the Ribbon Girl)

Of course, when I had figured out how to use the machine (note to self: try to get to grips with this in the New Year.....), and cut out the box, it was apparent that it had been designed for US dollars, not British pounds. After all that faffing about I wasn't about to give up, and I just tied up the money with a pretty ribbon and put it in the box. So much nicer to receive than cash in an envelope!

Question of the day - from Max again.......

'Is Father Christmas a vegetarian?'

I think he must have been pondering why everyone leaves Santa mince pies/cookies and not a ham sandwich. They are going to leave him some sausages this year as well as the mince pies, so if this is a question you have been asking yourself for years, come back after Christmas for the definitive answer.........

I had a message from Google today to tell me that there have been over a million visitors to Going Buggy since I started it. A million! That's a lot of visitors coming to read my burblings and see what I have been up to, I feel very humble. thank you all for sticking with me!

See you tomorrow x
