Inspiration Files: Advent Calendars

I can't believe it's less than two weeks till Christmas! I'm certainly not ready this year. I still have gifts to make and a tree to decorate. But I'm a procrastinator at heart, so it's all good. 

After showing you our Advent Calendar for this Christmas I realized that I had tons of other ideas floating around in my inspiration files on my computer. Do you do that? The problem I have is spending all of my time looking and not doing. It's so fun to look and surf and even save the pictures that inspire me, but then all my time to actually DO something is gone and I'm in a last-minute panic. Oy vey.

Anyway, I'm going to go ahead and post these Advent Calendars and Christmas Countdowns because I want a place to come and find them next, say, June, so I have time to put one together. 

So many fun ideas, so little time!

  2. Love these advent calendar ideas! The Martha Stewart baby sock one looks like something I could easily do for next year with my bag of mismatched socks and a little bit of fabric dye. Thanks for sharing.

  3. These are all so adorable! I love advent calendars but I might be too lazy to make them... I definitely have not finished gifts yet! Agh... 11 days left! (I don't count Christmas or Christmas Eve... I better be done by then!)

  4. We have never done an Advent calendar. Thanks for showing the great ideas! I have 2 princes who are being tough to find a gift for... That's all there is left for shopping. Need to print and send my Christmas letter, though.
