    Thank you Jen! I’m a big fan of countdowns and advents so I wanted to see your collection and was extra excited to be included. 🙂 I’m really liking the pocket style ones too…I may have to try that next year!

    I used a vintage soda crate, 2 tubes of dollar store glitter ornaments, and dollar atore glitter glue to create a super easy last minute advent calendar.

    I love advent calendars! I just finished one with an old piece of barn wood, some gift tags, and a couple of branches.

    Thank you Jen for featuring our Advent Calendar. We have had so much fun using it! It was so much fun to make and get to use some of my old scrapbook supplies. Merry Christmas to your family!!!

    I love advent calendars! Thanks for including mine in your round up! I gave that one as a Christmas present to my husband last year, and this year he returned the favor and has made me an advent calendar! Maybe it will be a tradition!
