It is always so much fun to count down the 25 days until Christmas. What a creative way to do so with this great wooden Advent Calendar. Each little drawer could have a surprise treat, toy or even a special note for the person who gets to peek inside that day. This will also keep mom and dad on their toes to get all their shopping, baking, wrapping etc. done for the holiday.
These darling Christmas Advent calendars were created and made by Sara Owens. Sara designed this for Craft Warehouse with nice and warm colored papers and embellishments by Teresa Collins and My Minds Eye. This holiday project got me so excited to make one of these Advent Calendars that I went and got my Christmas scrapbook paper and got started right away on this project. I will now have my own Advent Calendar for the month of December. What a fun tradition to have with your family, whether it be for your children, grandchildren or just for you!
