You would think that I could have come up with some really cute and crafty advent calendar, BUT I did not. I decided to cut myself some slack.
We are still counting down the days until Christmas, and enjoying it, but we are doing it chalkboard style.
I should also add that my kids think this is great, and really, that is all that matters.
Are you giving yourself permission this Christmas to not do it all and just enjoy yourself? Do tell.
There is still time to help my friend Vicky with fundraising for the 2 girls she is adopting from China. She has purchased an iPad2 to giveaway. $10 = 1 entry, $25 = 3 entries. This is a great opportunity to be a blessing.
Very cute idea
ReplyDeleteI am "not doing it all" by sticking with my same old hang-an-ornament-a-day calendar instead of doing something new. I would like to come up with some cool cute surprise-every-day thing but it is just not in me right now. And it would probably be nothing but folded up ruled paper anyway...cuz you know how crafty I am. ;)
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea. We don't have an advent calendar and I've been meaning to make one but just don't have the time. This would be so easy!! thank you. I love your blog. I'm your newest follower. Would love you to stop by DIY Home Sweet Home
