Adventing

I finished the advent calendar last night.  Here's 3 weeks of my life.  It took a lot of time but I had fun making it.

The idea came from HomemadeByJill who found it on this Inchmark blog.  But I didn't do all the same ornaments that they did. Mouse ornament? Sick. And I made my car ornament after a Hotwheel car, a Syme family stocking tradition.

I had the idea of buying mini ornaments at the store if I didn't finish in time but technically I just needed to stay ahead of the calendar. But once I started, I discovered some of the ornaments went really fast, like the lights, so I'm done with time to spare.

So now all the ornaments are tucked in their pouches and the calendar is in the closet for another week. I kind of need a break from looking at it.
