Christmas Craft- Advent Calendar

Hi peeps!  Are you ready to get this party started?  Cassie (Hi Sugarplum) is hosting today’s party, so if you have a Christmas Craft to share, go HERE to link up!

I’m linking up the advent calendar I created.  I’m especially giddy about it this year because we have a little one (19 months old) to start sharing the season with and creating our own memories and traditions.

I made this advent calendar with our family in mind, and considering our child’s age, but of course you can personalize it to suit your family’s needs.  I printed the labels on the computer and taped them to the tags with Japanese tape.

    I am the worstest mama ever. I've had the supplies to make an Advent calendar for a YEAR, and haven't gotten around to it. :s Maybe I'll give it a shot today…if not, I'll console myself with the fact that I'm planning a bday party this Saturday, and also trying to decorate for Christmas.

  4. I've been wanting to set up an advent calendar but wasn't inspired by anything. LOVE this. so thanks for the inspiration 🙂
