Hello my lovelies. I hope you have had a wonderful week. Mine was been busy and quite stressed. Being in this new position so close to Christmas 0_0 <-- that's how I feel each day at the moment.
Anyway, I've also been working on an Advent Calendar with Jason. We each got each other 12 gifts and will alternate each day with opening a present.

This is where I go my inspiration from. I love this one from Kikki.K.
This is our version of the calendar. Some of the gifts were a little heavy so I had to use a few tiny pegs. My gifts for Jason are on the bottom line and the ones for me are on the top.
A little close up. I tried to add a few little ornaments to pretty it up.
Another close up.
My fluffy wreath just makes the picture.

So what do you think? I was in a rush (as usual) and wanted to make it look prettier. Plus when I took the photos it was an overcast day.
I don't feel as excited about Christmas this year but I think I'm slowly getting there. My tree is up and I'm doing a Christmas lunch at our house this year 0_0 <-- this is a normal expression on me lately.
Have a wonderful and relaxed weekend!
This is such a wonderful idea, definitely doing it next year!!

ReplyDeleteSuch I lovely idea! I think I will do that for next Christmas for the kids...I bet they will love it! Sometimes I wish the Holidays were easier and less spending (meaning money I don't have!) :(

Me and my mum used to do this when I lived at home, my boyfriend isn't really up for it :S.
ReplyDeleteI got a bit confused when I saw the first picture and was wondering why you had "God Jul" Merry Christmas in Swedish on your calender. :) Now I get it. Yours looks really nice too!
Have a lovely weekend! :D
