Break Out the Scissors and Glue
Time for Christmas Crafting!
I used the “Fa La La” Line from Making Memories and whipped up this little diddy. It’s a 3×3 inch mini Christmas Advent Calender.
Specifically, it was this sheet of the “Fa La La” paper that inspired me:
I turned it into this:
Each day has it’s own numbered pocket with individual tags (I left the tags blank for personal sentiments).
I have to give a special shout out to my Mom for all her late night help getting things ready for my ESTY shop. I sure appreciate all you do for me Mom! Love you!

How did I miss that paper the other day when I was in Archivers?! I went in to find some numbers to do my advent calendar with and if I’d found that I woulda been so excited. Those are perfect, and as always, what you did with them was amazing. I love your advent book! Way cute! You always have the best ideas!

That’s a gorgeous calendar book, I don’t know that I’d have the patience to put one together though.

Hmmmmm, I don’t see any book
Can’t wait til it arrives. I’m debating on wether it will be a gift for my secret santa thing, or for my mom or sister. Decisions, decisions.
