This North Pole structure is absolutely unbelievable as to how it is so professional. It is adorable, sweet & all things happy & joyful. You do such an amazing job on all of your projects but this one, you knocked out of the park. I was enjoying watching this video so much that l didn’t want it to end. It was kinda like being so wrapped up in a good movie that you’re absorbed to the point that you forget where you are & feel sad that it is over. Thank you so much, Sam, for a wonderful experience. I most likely will watch it again. You are a genius & an artist that truly enjoys what you are doing. I’m interested as to those presents arriving so,l will be checking back. Until then thank you again. Love, Katherine

[@michellerowe64]

Wish I said that

[@kathleencovill3566]

I am watching this for the first time today. I want to make three of these, one for my house, one for each son's families. I actually would like five, one for each of my kids. I will see what gets done. I will start now and decorate with the scenery next fall.

Oh! Sam! This is absolutely AMAZING! I made one years ago but not with the Scene. I just love that scene with the lights, it’s magical. Might just start later this week. Our Grandsons are older but I am sure they will delight at "what’s in the box"😂 If they don’t I will😂🤣😂 Love those Teacakes!💖

[@suzieque5149]

Thanks for another great tutorial, your teaching style is so easy to follow and I love all the projects you’ve shown us so far. I wish I’d found this advent calendar before I started the ones I’m doing, but will try and find time to try this one too. 🥰

[@krystyneharris]

[@platinumdiva75]

You never cease to amaze me! You are so incredibly creative and talented and you should definitely be proud of yourself! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

[@scrappingscootergirl]

Love this!!!

[@angelalittlewood4523]

Oh my goodness, I've been waiting for you to do an Advent calendar! Glad I waited because I was going to try to do it in Grey Board. I'm sat here watching and thinking, I don't really want a scene at the bottom, how can I make it just a house shape? Then I had a light bulb moment. How cute would a little nativity scene look in the space? You could put the baby Jesus in the 25th box, so that he will be born on Christmas Day! Oh yes, that is what I am going to do, if I can find a small enough nativity scene!

[@shermcm1]

Absolutely beautiful Sam, love your never ending inspiration, and talent. X

[@carolynemills1337]

This is such a lovely advent calendar. I have made mine for this year but it is definitely on the list to do for next year. Thanks so much Sam for the tutorial.

[@jmccreates1337]

Omg amazing as always not sure I'm up to such a mammoth task though lol. Thanks as always for your hard work and innovation.

[@pattyannbeaven9287]

Oh Sam you have excelled yourself this time! Absolutely love this, definitely going to try and have a go, mine will probably look like the house that Jack built! I don't know how you're gonna top this! xx

[@jillburch7691]

Amazing!

[@dianec3279]

You’ve outdone yourself here! Absolutely wonderful! I love advent calendars and this little house is definitely one that needs to be in my supply of Christmas decor. Great tutorial! I can’t wait to make one of theses. Fantastic work Sam! 👏🏻👍🏻🥇

[@maryjarman791]

This is what I've been waiting for, thank you so much Sam 😊. My foam board has been ordered from the works so I'll start with the little boxes while I wait. Thanks again 😁👍

[@carolekinsey7835]

OMGoodness Sam. All those little boxes and still it all lined up. I loved the finished advent and just the right size for our favourite TT. I'd have to do some kind of slotted pieces, I'm sure the frame would be well wonky otherwise, if I try to do that. It's a wonderful thing to see and loved watching this come together. Great job Sam. Thanks so much for sharing as always. o

[@marijones9918]

Hi Sam, love it!. Think it was last year that you made a stunning calendar also. That was my first look at your tutorials and I've followed them ever since.......love all your creations, well done x

[@DenisePoole-Closet-Crafts]

This is just so amazing, really wish I had seen this sooner, just made five advents lol but I like yours so much better. If I dont get them done for this year I will get the bits ready for the next year. You should be proud, it is really lovely what you have made.

[@jessicakibbey4887]

I'm new to your channel and have to say I absolutely love your advent calendar! You did an amazing job and I love everything about it 😍😍 thank you for sharing your awesome skills with us!

[@noeleenbyrne5197]

Ab fab, I'm afraid I'm team snowball all the way, my sister and brother love teacakes though, so I let them fight over them while tucking into my snowball, 😍

[@janettegeorge2691]

Fabulous Sam, love this pity I can't make it at the moment as I am in Australia for Christmas. Sorry to rub that in, always next year great tutorial tfs take care xx👍❤️❤️

[@kirstylamont86]

At pound land they sell bags of Christmas figures same as hobbycraft at hobbycraft they are £1.50 for one or Poundland is £1.00 for 3 you can get Santa, snowman, dogs ect xx

[@mariamendes6720]

Que fofo...!

[@adriennewilliss9058]

What a fantastic project! Love your tutorial..... but why are you using imperial measurements? Metric is more precise! Only Liberia Myanmar and the US are the only 3 countries that use the old system. Thanks for the great tutorial

[@janbaker9418]

What are the sizes you score for the boxes you did a awesome job

[@janinelucas1262]

just brilliant Sam love how the you went through you're thought process will have to get to hobby craft .where i live we do not have any big stores it is quite a long way to are nearest store will have to sweet talk the hubby lol .i could do with other bits and bobs too i buy most online but i do like wondering round the big stores more fun i think kind regards Janine

[@lorifernandes5634]

What material did you use for the drawer boxes?

[@aseal5511]

I love this Advent Calendar is so pretty and love the lights touch. Just have a request, if possible. When I was small at my grandmother's house she had these tiny glittery cardstock houses for the Xmas tree that you could slide a light inside from the back so they would light up, I kept a few but they are so old they're falling apart and I don't let anyone touch them. I just learned they are called Putz houses, is there a way you can do a tutorial on these? Or if you did make one, please let me know. thanks.
