Inspiration


I just ordered these numbers.
Aren't they fabulous?

I think I am going to try to make something like this and this with them.
I have wanted an advent calendar for a while now and the ideas are swimming in my head.
Now, if only I could get to the craft store without my kids I might be in business.

  1. Yes, they ARE fabulous. I can't wait to see your boxes.

    We have lots of great craft stores here... why don't you and the kiddos fly out, and I will watch them while you run to the store.

  4. I have a Christmas advent calendar I made in 9th grade and still use it. No one can go can go wrong with one of those babies.

  5. They are beautiful, aren't they?? Shabby Chic Crafts just found me the other day on my blog. She actually lives in the same town as me, and I ordered the cute little Thanksgiving journal tags from her, though I wanted to buy just about everything she makes.

    I LOVE these tags, but I'd already bought some equally cute tags similar to these from Elle's studio, another Etsy shop.

    I want to do an advent calendar, but I'm trying to think of what types of things I could put in it? Any ideas? I've never done one before. And I, of course, take my inspiration on the project from Ali Edwards, who took her inspiration from Martha Stewart, because they both looked so wonderful!

    Let me know what you come up with...

  6. Lol, well I guess it would've been nice if I'd looked at the "here" and "here" links.
