This is the Advent Calendar I made for my grand kids. The basic box was
from Hobby Lobby. I decorated it with patterned paper, numbers I typed
on the computer and a bow. Each box has a sentiment-computer generated
or stamped, or a game, or activity on it, candy, a trinket or a sunshine sticker
indicating to pick a git out of the bag. I think they will enjoy this.
A few fun challenges:
Create a Smile: November 12/13
Sunday Stamps 297 12/9
Oh this looks like so much fun, Donna! Now I want one LOL! Your grandkids are going to love this! You made it look so beautiful with the patterned paper and the big green bow! I can tell already that it's going to be a big hit! Did they open today's yet? What did they get? I love advent calendars so much! We never had this type of thing when I was young, at least not at my house. Have a wonderful day, my friend!
ReplyDeleteWhat a really fun idea to give to the grands!! I think that's a fun/neat idea to add an activity to the boxes so that they come back to see what's in store for the next day! You've done a great job decorating it up!!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful design and gorgeous creation, love each addition on this one xx
