i love your envelopes! we are celebrating the 12 days of christmas this year so no advent calendar but a 12 days calendar – very day from christmas eve to epiphany someone gets to king or queen for a day, we each get a small treat and we do something special as a family together. takes the focus off christmas day as THE day and no commercialism in sight! thanks for the inspiration

That paper is amazing. Did you find it somewhere local?

This is such a wonderful idea! I love the paper. I was wondering what kind of activities you put in this? I’ve never done anything like this but its so intriguing that I have to try it.

I hope my comment that I just made wasn’t offensive. I didn’t mean it ugly. Just a funny thought I had! It’s okay if you don’t publish it. I just love this site.

I bet lots of people looking for some “NASTY” p-o-r-n are shocked and dismayed when a site touting the making of a sweet, innocent Advent calendar comes up. (;

I don’t think it’s nasty at all. Makese me feel a little guilty for using the ones from the store.

oops…my last comment’s spelling mistake totally changed the meaning.

I meant to say ‘Way better use THAN for receipts.’

Nice collection of paper there. Actually, if you had used a black marker to write the dates, it might look more finished.

I think your advent calendar looks great! And whats inside each envelope is going to make it so much fun to open. Way better use that for receipts!

Have fun with all of your evening activities!

I did quick and dirty too – it went from origami stars with daily activity to cut out stars blu-tacked to blue paper behind the nativity set! Still, the kids love the daily task of putting a star up and lighting advent candles.

You are just a woman of action aren’t you. I admire that you seem to follow through with many of your ideas and wish I could do the same.
