"Owl Be Home For Christmas" Blog Hop

Good Morning!!!
 Welcome to the
 Owl Be Home For Christmas Blog Hop!! 
 We are so happy you are here!

Now lets get this hop moving... you should be coming from
Jenn's 
if not head back to
Heather Lynn's

For my project I made a
Christmas Countdown...my kids love the remind us how many days are left till Christmas so I thought this would be a fun way for them to do so.Using a chalkboard/vinyl sticker from EAD Designs  ~which is no longer in business :( 
I added it to a plain back frame I had laying around the house

With chalk they can write the number and then erase with a cloth and change it from day to day...
For my banner I used My Creative Time's Build a Banner Kit Dies and the new Lowercase Fun Dies. They were all strung with my FAVORITE twine EVER~ Trendy Twine's Christmas Candy Cane

So by now you are probably waiting to see the adorable owl up close....isn't he just too cute!!!I used a file from the Silhouette Store for the owl~ Holiday Owl
and then added the santa hat from another file from the store
some xmas red stickles are there you have it!!
So what do you think??
Turned out pretty cute~right?
Well it's time to hop along to see what cuteness
has to share but before you go I have some
