I am absolutely in love with Advent Calendars. I don't know why, but I think they are great. I have made large wooden ones for the kids (I wanted to have pictures for you, but DH didn't want to dig them out for me). They are basically a 2'x3' piece of MDF with 24 squares routed out on each. Each square has a watchmakers case attached to them with hot glue (which the treats go in for each day). They are painted, each in a different theme, for each of the kids.
Last year, after seeing this, by Leigh,
I bought one of the bases for myself. However (and no, I'm not kidding) I think DH threw it out. I can't find it anywhere. And I'm even more bummed, now that I saw this, by Sherri.
These are both SOOO well done! I just love them!
Then I found this one. I fell head over heels for both the simplicity of it and the elegance. So, this is my new project. I'm planning on tackling this tomorrow.
I can't wait!
Anyway! Now that you've been overloaded by Advent Calendars, hopefully you'll be inspired to make your own!
Creative Love to you all!
