Advent Calendar

In just a few more days, the kids in this little forest home will be counting down the days until the jolly old St. Nick arrives. To help the youngest in her countdown, I thought it might be fun to make an advent calendar that's different from the usual store bought ones that I've given her in the past.

So, ta-da! Here is a little something that I was inspired to create by this Color Me Pretty post on Decor8.


I'd like to do a better job of hanging this creation, but that will have to wait until I've found some of those removable hooks. But, I've happy with how quickly this came together.

Countdown to Christmas, eeek!

With the holidays fast approaching, it has been non-stop crafting for myself and the kids. I learned a technique a few years ago for making these cute triangle treat boxes. So, I thought they might be perfect for my princess to pass out Christmas treats to her little friends at school.






Each one holds 2 small chocolates and in lieu of Christmas cards, we decided that making little tags might be easier and less time consuming (which is great when your under a time crunch).



I really should have taken pictures along the way to create a tutorial, but as I said, we were in a hurry.

Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas

from our house to yours!

We hope you have a holiday season full of joy and happiness. And may the New Year be a prosperous one!
