Calendar Blog Hop

Good morning fellow crafters! I hope everyone had a great (and restful) Thanksgiving break! I must say mine went by way too fast, and I had way too much to do for someone on vacation :)With that said, welcome to the Calendar Blog Hop hosted by Zeni @ Scrappy Zeni. If you just hopped over from Amanda's @ Amanda's Crafts and More, you're in the right place. If you're just stopping by for a visit, then go to Zeni's to start at the beginning.

For today's project, I decided to make an advent calendar. I've never made one before, and I don't think I realized how much time it would take for all the little details (because I'm a bit of a perfectionist) - so needless to say, you only see the first 12 days of the countdown here. Anyways, I love the idea of using a mini-cupcake pan for the calendar, because it's the perfect place to put a little surprise. The back of the numbers are magnetic sheets that I cut using the cricut (really easy).


Here are some close-ups...
Thanks for stopping by! Your next stop is Christy
