Christmas can finally begin….thank you!

I know, I know!  I’ve been making christmas cards for a while now, but lights up for Bonfire Night?  Trees decorated in November!?  I swear blind it gets earlier every year!  But at least we can now say “ Woohooo!  The countdown can begin!”  So I strung this Advent Calendar for the kids this year. 

It’s my daughter’s birthday on the 13th December so we have a rule not to decorate the house before then, so we can keep her birthday special and as unmerged from Christmas as possible.  But everyone needs an Advent Calendar…..even if it only helps the panic set in as you realise you still have so much to do and so little time to do it in!!   :-).  Here’s a close up:

Anyways….these sour cream cartons are really easy to make.  Drop me a line if you need the instructions.

With this calendar I’ve only used a glue dot in the centre of the bottom edge and I’ve left the top open.  This is so I can put the treats in the top and the kids can easily pop the bottoms open.   I’ve punched holes in the top edge to string them on to the cord.  Hmm…hope that makes sense!

Hope you like it.  I’m going to enter this in the following challenges
