Delicious Recipes to Keep my Family of Four Happy and Full
Christmas is my absolutely favorite time of year. From mid-September, I start dreaming of my Christmas decorations and start to think about what this year’s Advent Calendar will look like. Last year, our Advent Calendar was a frame with little envelopes for each day. I wanted to do something a little different this year and, after a brainstorming session with Mathlete, we came with the idea of a Christmas tree Advent Calendar.
…
December 1st is just around the corner so it is time to break out the advent calendar! I am super excited about the one we made this year so, without further ado, here is my 2012 Advent Calendar.
I started with 25 little mittens I cut using my Cameo out of shimmery blue scrapbook paper.
I decorated the mittens using a combination of scrapbook paper and washi tape.
I found some adorable little mini clothespins in the Target dollar spot and picked up 25 of them for my calendar.
On black Friday, I grabbed an 18×24 frame that I removed the glass and backing from. Then, I spray painted it white.
I hot glued red ribbon to the back and clipped on my mittens.
The countdown is on {or at least it will be come December 1st!}
