Christmas Card Club. Challenge 25 : Anything Goes

Hello Everyone.   Lovely to be back among you again as I have missed you all,  but family commitments meant I did not have time to do both.    However,  I sincerely hope you have all been well and merrily crafting before the big day.
Over at the CCC this is our last challenge for this year and the theme is Anything Goes, chosen by our own lovely Zoe.   So this was my effort and it is a cracker box with another little box on top that holds a box with earrings.   The bottom of the box will hold a pair of socks or gloves quite comfortably.  the box was designed by my dear friend Linda who is a SU demonstrator and makes the most gorgeous things.    Got all 3 of my Aran sweaters finished and will photograph them before wrapping them up later today.   Still got family cards to make along with some birthday cards as I have 3 Grandchildren with birthdays just days after Christmas.   I'll leave you for now but I will be back,  so please bear with me meantime.    Have a Lovely Day.    Hugs Rita xxx

Rita,
Hello!
Oh this is such a beauty. There is a lovely old style glamour to it. I can imagine one of those old movies where a chic lady is laden down with packages as she shops in New York City!!! It really is most elegant and very special.
Wishes
Lynne

Oh wow Rita!!! Absolutely beautiful! Not a box you'd want to part with I'd say :) So impressed that you've squeezed this in between everything else going on! Not one but 3 jumpers! You don't do things by halves. Take care. Jenny xxx
