Count Down to Christmas!!

Greetings everyone!!!

Things have been hectic here. And now that the holidays are coming up, who knows how busy it will get! Well.....let me at least share some things going on with me!

My new advent calendar!! I have been wanting one of these forever, but buying one is so super expensive ($30 average). 101_2171

I am in love. Here are the materials I got:

1) small wood tray

2) 2 wood blocks

3) small stake

4) Sign with string (came pre-made).

5) 3 Christmas scrapbooking paper (I got the two sided, which gave more variety)

6) My Cricut

7) white vinyl.

8) Red and cream paint

I got all the materials at Michaels except for the wooden blocks. I got those at Craft Warehouse. The entire project cost less than 13 bucks and I got to actually make it myself! It was super easy to make! Took me about an hour while watching Everybody Loves Raymond. Smile

The hardest part was figuring out what numbers to go where. You have to put 0, 1, and 2 on both blocks and make the 6 and 9 the same and then it all fits.
