scary little skeleton babies like to wait for Santa!
Well, in my world they do!
I've been out junk shopping a few times recently and on one trip found this old first aid tin.....when I opened it I realised it would make a great alternative to a configuration box! I also bought an old green metal funnel, a Santa head Christmas ornament and a heart with bells (which I didn't end up using)
From this "stuff"plus some other "stuff" I already had lying around came this.......
..my "found" version of a configuration box!
Added the Santa head to the inside of the tin lid.....it fitted like it was made for it!
Painted a small porcelain doll to look skeleton-y.......added a Santa hat.....aka a metal piping nozzle.... and here she sits waiting for Santa
Three plastic cherubs got a paint job..................
........a metal moose wishes everyone.......
.....MERRY CHRISTMAS....
..with bells on his antlers
The funnel became a Christmas tree with rusty star and a screw head..................
......a partridge in a pear tree???....a small bird cookie cutter....
Still waiting and wishing....................
I saw that the challenge on SIMON SAYS STAMP AND SHOW is to show something with depth.....I hope this might count!
As my husband said when I sent him a pic of this .....a weirdo Merry Christmas to you too!

It definitely fits the challenge Sue, I love how that Santa fits perfectly into the slot and those cherubs/angels fit perfectly on top. I love the alternative Christmas tree, which suits perfectly your alternative configuration box, a neat idea in itself. Love your rusty pieces too. A merry weirdo Christmas to you too. Thanks so much for joining in The Simon Says Stamp and Show challenge Sue, great to have you along. Tracy x
