Holiday Surprise Box

Hi Friends, and Happy Monday to you! I hope you had a great weekend. We celebrated Thanksgiving early with my husband's sister and her family in northwest Georgia and had a great time. As usual, her cooking was delicious, and I ate waaayyyy too much. But, we only get to go up there a few times a year, so I don't beat myself up about it. We'll be doing it all over again here at our house in a few days with my family.

I have another secret box to share with you today. Seriously, if you haven't made one of these boxes yet, you should. It's a lot of fun and it makes a great gift.

This one is for a friend I met when our children were in kindergarten together and we were co-room mothers. She has a girl and a boy, so the new Flourishes Christmas silhouettes were perfect.

Unlike my first secret box, Birds on a Box, I decided to decorate the back sides of the box. Not too elaborate, but I wanted something to keep it from being so bare. So, I used an Ironworks Motif in a green shimmer cs.

I filled the box with Ghirardelli Squares--peppermint bark, eggnog, and pumpkin spice...yum!

Thanks for stopping by. Have a wonderful week, and if I don't see you again before Thursday, a Happy Thanksgiving!!!
