Christmas in a biscuit tin

These are drawings for an idea I had recently about a tiny character who lives inside a biscuit tin on the kitchen dresser. The story follows her as she gets ready for Christmas.  This came before I started doing all the cut out stuff and in a way is the original story! 

dreaming of sugarplums...
Waking up.  Oh it's Christmas Eve!
yes definitely Christmas Eve, it says so on the calendar...
Better get dressed then...
And stick some candycanes and a teacup in my hair...
Porridge for breakfast?
Now what's on the to do list for today?
Then the story continues with the character leaving her biscuit tin house and exploring the dresser, finding things to help her with her preperation for Chistmas.  If you look carefully at this picture, you can spot her walking along...
