When I saw that Stampin' Up! had an advent calendar, I was super excited because I didn't have an advent calendar but then remembered that I live alone and so if I filled it up, the daily items wouldn't be a surprise. But then I thought that my sister and nephew might enjoy the daily surprises. It could be something they do together, creating new christmas memories and traditions, opening each box together every night.
The calendar was easy to put together. Actually the hardest part was deciding where I wanted to place each square and because I'm a little OCD and didn't want any similar squares near each other, this took multiple tries (after a few attempts of placing the plain squares down, I decided it would be easier to decorate every square and then work on the layout).
I didn't purchase the coordinating stamp set because it wasn't really my style and I wasn't going to stamp any of the squares at first, but decided that the plain squares needed a little extra love. I used stamp sets already in my stash to case the designs displayed by Stampin' Up!.
I can't wait to go shopping for treats to fill the boxes this weekend!! I'll give the calendar to my sister when I see her at thanksgiving. Happy Holidays!!
