Advent Stocking Tree


 We are being safe while visiting so when I went over with a new ornament for my granddaughter for this year and some Christmas books to have early we all wore our masks.      She was happy to show me her advent stocking tree Mom had sat up just a few days ago.   I had gifted them the mini trees and wooden Santa last year for decorations for the first Christmas in their own home.   On Elle's first Christmas her other grandmother made 25 little stockings all numbered and then every year she sends a little box of small surprises to go in for each day.   Elle just loves it and looks forward to a new stocking every morning.    I just loved seeing it all together like it was this year.

I was inspired by sketch for Challenge #448 at  "SKETCHES IN THYME"   this is my take on it.    I did some major fussy cutting of the wreath from a piece of patterned paper and then used several pop dots under in on tope of this plaid and also added some red jewels to the holly berries.
