On the first day of Christmas.

This year I thought it’d be fun to make my own advent calendar for the littles.  I’m not big on mass-producing, and don’t have a lot of time or patience, so I had to do what worked for me.  I took some fun bright green gingham sacks from my shoppe, embellished them a little, and then filled ’em up and put ’em in a big ol’ basket.

I love number dies.  So functional.  But a complete pain in the …. to cut out so many.  Totally worth it though.

A little washi, a little date stamp, and my die cut numbers.  And after I was done, I faux-stitched with a gel pen.

The fun part.  Gathering all sorts of sweets and treats and packaging them all up.

Happy December 1st!
