Okay everyone,
I am going to change things up here on TWM for the month of December. I am going to be posting once a day with holiday crafts and food and events, sort of like a blogger advent calender.
To start things off I am posting an actual advent calendar that I made. I started this project over a year ago and didn't get it done in time for last Christmas so I made sure to have it done this year. When I was growing up my Grandma gave us an advent calender that had a pocket for each day and there was a little mouse that you moved from pocket to pocket. I loved that thing and remember racing down stairs in the morning to move the mouse. I wanted to make something in that spirit, something I knew I would have for a long time.
This is, obviously, a Christmas tree and there is an ornament for each day. I had so much fun making it and, thankfully, got a lot of advise from my Mother-in-Law who has been quilting for a couple of years now.
I think this would make a fabulous gift if I had it in me to tackle another one. Maybe next year.
So here we go, I hope you come back often this month to see what is in store; and definitely mark your calenders for the 13th when I will be doing my first give away! I am not going to say what it is just yet but I am very excited about it!
Yippee and God help me on this marathon!

Your advent calendar is fantastic! We haven't even gotten out a single x-masy thing yet...oops. But we are making calzones, as per your recent suggestion, for dinner tonight. And pot roast tomorrow :)

I love the advent calendar. It is nice to add to it everyday.
Merry Christmas!
