Advent calendar
Hi there crafter's
Sorry it,s been so long since I have posted on my blog,
but it,s been a difficult month,
being a year since my mum passed
last September 11th.
So has you can imagine I haven,t felt much like crafting
or posting on here or facebook.
So I have been rooting through my old designs
for something to get me into the Christmas spirit.
This is what I found.
It,s an advent calendar I made from my own template
after seeing the cost of the wooden ones.
I decided that I could do that, but more cost effectively
and here is the result.
A little time consuming but I hope you will agree
well worth the effort.
The scene and backing papers come from
Jayne Nestorenko.s Cute Companions CD
which I enlarged slightly to fit the gap.
It was used last year and will be used again this year.
I,ve also made one for my great nieces,
but shhhhhh!!!
don,t tell them!
Glad to be back.
And so glad you popped by to take a look.
until tomorrow

Hi Jen
I came across your post a few weeks ago and was very inspired by your 'calendar'. I hope you don't mind but I made my own template for something similar and really enjoyed making it. Thank you for sharing your idea.

Well done on making your own, that is impressive, and I do like these. Like you I looked at the cost but I decided against it for now.
Your Mum would be proud!
Hugs
