11/21 Where did a month go?

I have been doing some crafting and making Christmas Gifts that I can not post until they are given-that is where I have been.  However I do have some things to share with you today.  The last 2 projects from my Ustream Channel are completed and I was so inspired by the Display Tray Project I was able to make an advent calendar using 2 of the display trays.  You can check out my Ustream to see my thoughts.  Ustream has not been really cooperative with recording or broadcasting lately so the entire project did not get recorded.  Feel free to ask me questions if you needs some clarification.  Without further ado.  Here are the completed projects:

Completed projects!
