I made an advent calender like this.....

and when I went out to get it this year I can't find it. I know what box it is in, but who knows where it is in all our storage. So I decided to make another one. But I found 2 that I really liked, and thought, oh well, I will just make both. They were super easy and I made them both in about a day. I was sick the one, so I moved slower than usual so I actually had to finish them the next day. Here are some pictures of them......

I just cut out a Christmas tree with my cricut then without unloading put the numbers on. Then I put some paper on wood circles and put a small magnet on the back. Each day we put an "ornament" on the tree until we get to the star.

Now some up-close of the snowman countdown. I found this cute clipart so I just printed it out and made it a sticker and stuck it to the paper.



I used my cricut to cut out the snowflakes with numbers in them. We are using a glass pebble as our "marker" and move it daily. I put a snowflake on blue paper on the pebble with a magnet on the back.

I also used my cricut to cut out the Let it Snow, and I layered it to help it stand out more.

Now my question is, Can you have to many advent Calenders?? I don't think so, but what do you think? Also, what do you think of the calendars? Are they cute enough? Should I add numbers to the circles on the tree one?

This last weekend we had a fabulous friday in our ward instead of a super saturday. I was able to make it and made this adorable advent calendar. They used the cricut to make a lot of it, but also some chipboard and wood pieces, you could also use a cuttlebug and other things as desired, you just have to improvise. In the circle at the top of the advent is supposed to be a 25, they just did not have it done, and we are supposed to get it soon. If not I will improvise.

If you want instructions I will post them, just leave a comment and I will try to do it soon. I was thinking of making a couple more anyway, and if I do, I will post how to make it and what stuff I use to make it. It just might be a while until I do that, depending on what happens here in the next while.

I also learned how to make these adorable flowers for accents with little girls. All you do is get the fabric flowers that you want with a jewel to put in the middle and hot glue them together. Then hot glue the clippy on the back and wala you are done and have these adorable flowers. I made a couple brown ones to go with Saedy's brown dress from the wedding. I can't get her to leave it in her hair, or I would get a picture and have her wear it more. But hey, maybe I can get the baby to wear more things like that. (Yeah right with my luck)
