Are you guys all ready for Christmas!?!! Man! I've been absent here for a bit. Life just gets crazy sometimes. I wanted to show a Christmas project that I am so happy is finished. Ecstatic, actually!
So, here's the story. Sheri came out for a visit to work on her scrapbooks & when we went to the scrapbook store we got a little distracted by some really cute vintage looking paper. Our mission suddenly changed as we decided that we just must use this adorable paper right away! We decided to make a Christmas advent calender. By the time Sheri had to go home, we got it mostly finished. We only had to add some pictures & a few numbers. TWO YEARS LATER it is finally done! Why, oh, why do I do that?
Any who! Here are a few of my favorite pages...

day 3-Christmas traditions
day 9- Part of our Christmas cards last year. I loved those cards. It was two-sided. One side was the nice smiley faced kids holding their NOEL letters & underneath it said "Merry Christmas" & the other side was the picture above with their goofy faces. This side read "Have a Holly Jolly Christmas this Year!" I really loved it!
day 15- Our family Christmas picture from a few years ago.
day 23- The Boy & Ms. Sassypants. They've grown up so much. I love this picture of them...before the teenage years. :)
day 25- "For unto us is born this day, in the city of David, a Savior, which is Christ the Lord." Yes, if you look closely, I missed a word in the quote. Nice. Maybe I just wanted to make sure that it really looked handmade. :)
I'm really happy that I get to put it out this year. And I'm also really happy that I'm almost done with my Christmas shopping. Just little things left. I really do love this time of year. Everything is so festive & fun! Happy Weekend!

I am in love with that... and I hate you just a little bit, because I will never have time to make it. But it is beautiful, and fun! Merry Christmas!
You're right...those vintage papers are wonderful. But what you did with them is priceless. Thanks so much for sharing this amazing idea with us.
