Advent

I made these Advent Calendars for Parker and Jack's teachers. The muffin tin idea I saw online and the images are right out of the Pottery Barn catalog. Well, as nearly as I could tell when looking at something that small. In each cup, you place a little piece of candy or an activity note--like "make Christmas cookies." I love how this turned out and I think their teacher did too. Oh, by the way, aside from my time, my total investment was probably about $5.00. I say that because sometimes people get a little weird about teacher gift giving.

Thanks for stopping by. Yes, I do enjoy the bedtime routines. What a clever idea for the advent calendar. I like this idea a lot. Have a Merry Christmas.

Those turned out great!

I was thinking that a small mini muffin pan with only 12 slots would make a cute "12 days of Christmas" pan. I know that Joy of the Season has all 12 things... thinking of crafts for next year!

Love this idea. Thanks for reminding me how cute it is.
