Hi everyone :)
I wanted to share an Advent Calendar I made for my kids that I made from an old baking sheet and Nikki Sivils Gingerbread Land collection! :) I have wanted to make an advent calendar for them FOREVER now... and this year I finally found the time! :)
Here is what my calendar looks like :)
I started off with an old baking (cookie) sheet :)
Had Hubby and my Son Adam drill two holes for me :)
I then cut out 48 2x2 inch squares :)
I then sewed them into pockets! :)
Then I covered and decorated the baking (cookie sheet) :)
I bought some magnets :)
I decorated the fronts of each square and added a date for each one (up to Christmas Eve) :)
I then glued the magnets to the back of the 'pockets' :)
And look! My Son Adam even helped me :) He doesn't look thrilled... but I promise... it was his idea to help :)
And here is my finished project and some close ups :)
I have seen several versions of baking sheet Advent calendars before...and I have always wanted to try it ... so I made this one :) The pink squares will be for Brookie and the green ones for Adam :)
I made the trees using my Cricut and then used Nikki's alphas to put "Adam & Brooke" :):):)
Thanks so much for stopping by -- we appreciate it :)
