Holiday Countdown



It is way too late to be posting to CraftPad; but I just finished up my advent calendar and I couldn't wait to show you. (Now you know how I spend my Friday nights). Cutting out those numbers was completely exhausting... but I watched an old movie while I cut and it made the task more bearable. You will notice that I added on a little snowman by the front door and some snow along the ground outside. I tested out the pockets by filling them with Halloween candy and they are the perfect size for mini candy bars, etc. Since I was figuring out the house as I went along, there are a few things that I don't love about it but I think my overall idea came to life. I am so excited to hang it December first and get the children excited about the countdown until Christmas.
