Advent Calendar

I finally finished my Advent Calendar.

(yes 9 days late)

I'm quite happy with it!

I bought an advent calendar kit

at the craft store.

In perfect form,

I thought,

"I bet I could make that even harder-

I mean, CUTER!" 

so, I got one of the vintage books

I had purchased for crafting

and combined text and images

with the stock kit

and began cutting and pasting.

I'm happy!

I purchased the frame at a Thrift Shop

during the summer,

finally spray painted the frame

black,

and TrueLove was sweet enough to cut the 

chicken wire and staple it to the back for me.

We have lots of chicken wire around

from the chicken coop build out.

So I have a cute little Advent Calendar

and after Christmas,

I tend to put fabric behind the wire

and use it as a bulletin board.

I love the size of it.

It really amped up the 

Christmas vibe in our house.
