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.

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
This looks fab Rita, really pretty and festive, xxx
Very clever design Rita and you have executed it marvellously. PERFECT make! I'd definitely love the box more than contents! Nicola x
Absolutely lovely, and what a beautiful way to present your gifts! Glad you've got your sweaters all finished..that sounds like a LOT of work! Looking forward to seeing them. Wishing you a Merry Christmas, the best of New Years, good health for you both. TFS & Hugs
