When you order things blindly, you really hope it will meet your expectations. Well, these are above and beyond what I expected. When I opened the box, I had to get right to work.
I saw this wonderful idea somewhere and thought -- Perfect!! Just what a bazaar needs. So I whipped out the credit card and ordered 14 of these from a wonderful woodworker in Timmins, Ontario
The company is called Wood Things and there are a multitude of things you can buy. I could spend hours on this website. Everything is laser cut, so every single key I have ordered will be exactly the same.
Add a ribbon, add a verse and you have the perfect little gift for a child. They say it's for a child that doesn't have a chimney but the child in all of us just knows that chimney or not, this little gift is a keeper..
This is the verse, found ?, I don't know where, but maybe Pinterest. I put this into word in a 4 x 6 text box and ran it off. I trimmed the two corners on an angle from 1" to 1" and then punched a hole in it. I used up the blue ribbon I had just to add some colour.The plastic bags I saved, for some reason, from a store here in town. I used to take them back but I found this in the sewing room, so I'm reusing them. I hope I can find more of them. They are perfect for this project. The other perfect bags come in the Shake 'n bake boxes. I measure out the coating into a bowl with a lid, put the chicken in and give it a good shake. The bags go to the sewing room for projects.
After searching for a few days, I found a book about the Magic Key. It is for your Kobo -- ereader -- and it can be found here. https://www.kobo.com/ca/en/ebook/santa-and-a-magic-key-1 It is or was $8.99 and it could be a book that a parent reads to a child. No way could I find a hard copy. I have found books on youtube so I went checking. There are a few but this one

With a sprinkle of
magic
And a dash of holiday
cheer
This key only works
once a year
Place this key on
Christmas Eve
Somewhere I can
plainly see
So, I can leave you
presents under the tree.
Love, Santa
