Decorated Sleigh

I bought this sleigh a little while ago from Art from The Heart. I had seen it decorated in a mag and just knew I had to have one too!!!! I painted the edges with red paint and then added the papers....BG Fruitcake - vintage ornaments. Because the paper is really patterened I didn't really need to add any more embelishments except the button and the threaded beads. I use some craft tinsel for this to cheer things up and added a metal tree ornament....good old Santa hehe!

Here is the back but I may change the ornament later...not sure yet!

Over on Bubbly Funk we have done a Secret Advent Swap and where else is there to put all the little parcels???

Thank you so much for taking a look, I loved doing this one X

Karen that sleigh is really lovely and what a super place to put all your Advent goodies. You'll have some lovely ribbon bits to play with once they are all open.
Thanks for the comment on my blog entry. I've not forgotten my award, just not got round to sorting out recipients yet. Many thanks. Sue xx
