Counting down to Christmas


We don't have an advent calendar, so I decided to do these cute candy ropes that my sister told me about. You get a long piece of saran wrap or cellophane, place 12 pieces of candy in a line, roll up the candy, and tie a ribbon between each piece of candy. Tomorrow we will start counting down to Christmas by cutting off a piece of candy for each day.

What a cute idea! I love advent calendars... they bring back good memories!

If you have a second would you mind sending me your new address? I have a Christmas card to send to you but I don't have your current add. Thanks!

Fun. I think I'm going to do that today with my boys. I'm needing some ideas! It was so good to see you the other day. How's the lotion smell? Ha!

I love that idea. I am sure your kids are liking that more than just tearing off paper rings like my kids. Fun.

I love the idea. I may seal it too. I've wanted an advent calendar for years, but not found the right one. This is a perfect idea. I need your address. Could you email it to me? tara@addlebrain.com Merry Christmas
