Well, my father and I both made our deadlines. He made the tree, and I got the fabric bins done. Although I still have to do something about the numbers - so if December 1st is tomorrow, the tree is basically ready - oh wait, it IS tomorrow! It's not like I've never stayed up late craftin' it out. So, here is the ALMOST finished Advent Calendar.
One of my goals with this project was to use up some of the cute Christmas fabric I've been holding on to. It's going to be fun taking this bad boy out every Holiday, and I know my kids will have fun remembering all the fabrics I used - er I mean the goodies they got each morning.

Ok ok, so I have a few more finishing touches, but I am very excited about this tradition. My sisters and I had an "advent fairy" stirring up excitement every December, and it's something we'll never forget.

This is SO cute!
very nice
Wow, that looks great! What did you end up filling the bins with?
P.S. I realized the link I sent you about the rubber heart stamp from 100ProofPress might not have worked earlier, but it's there now. :)
Assorted goodies. Next year I'll be able to do a better job and plan for the size! One of my favorite things I made for the bins is an ornament that was inspired by their Halloween costumes. They really love that too. I'd like to say I'd do that every year, but I know myself better than that!
