Advent Calendar

I'd seen this idea floating around the Interent and thought it would be fun to try out this year. I already had the mini-muffin pan, scrapbook paper and stickers. All I bought was some magnetic paper from Hobby Lobby. I borrowed Dionne's Cricut to cut out all the circles, ran them through my Xyron sticker-machine and attached them to the magnetic paper. Then all I needed to do was cut them out, put on the stickers and put it together.


To fill it up, I wrote out some fun activities on paper slips (i.e. bake Christmas cookies, drive around to see Christmas lights, etc.) and also included some mini-ornaments for the girls.



Ideally this would be hanging from the wall, but the magnets are not strong enough to hold the little ornaments inside, when vertical. So far, it's a hit! And the best part is, I can reuse it for next year and still have the use of my muffin pan. :-)
