What I have to share with you today is an advent calendar that I created all Sunday afternoon, late that night and early Monday morning. Yes, this really did take me some time to create but I just had to finish what I started. In the end, it was worth the wait!! The image I used is called Star of Bethlehem from Belles n' Whistles. All of these holiday stamps are just amazingly adorable and really tell a story at Christmas time.
When I made these drawers I had added 2 eyelets and ran red ribbon through them to create a handle. I have also numbered each drawer from 1-24 and kept the boxes in numerical order instead of mixing the numbers around as a normal advent calendar would be. I suppose I could mix the drawers up if I wanted to. Looks like I won't be making one of these for a while unless someone requested one. Thanks so much for stopping by, have a great day!!
