In November 2009 I got the idea to make an advent calendar for my girls. I wanted something with little drawers that I could put 3 small sweets or gifts into. You can read all about it here. Last year I revamped it using the Dear Lizzy Christmas line. Why, you ask? I needed to make the drawers easier to open and my original “drawer pulls” were ripping off.
So, why am I telling you all this now? Two reasons. One, I don’t think I took pictures of the Advent Calendar last year and thought you might be interested. I’ve been seeing some pretty cool versions out there this year so figured I’d throw my little calendar into the ring! And two, I had to fill it up today as tomorrow is December 1st. Marley has been gently reminding me (read – most annoyingly pestering me!) to get it ready but I’ve been so busy I have been putting it off. Really couldn’t put it off any longer though could I?
Here it is.
Absolutely beautiful Alison! Looking forward to doing the December Daily with you! Suzie xxx 🙂
