Advent Calendar

Hello lovelies. I'm finally doing a Christmas post! Jason and I started a tradition last year. We do an Advent Calendar. We alternate each day with opening a gift and get 12 gifts each. I'm showing what I received for the first six days I opened. 

We displayed it as a pile of gifts with a numbered sticker so we can keep track on who opens each day. 

L-R: Day 1 - A pretty bauble (you can see my reflection ha), Day 2 - 3 papier mache ornaments, Day 3 - Some T2 sleep tight loose tea (I drink this most nights, so it's nice and practical)

L-R: Day 4 - Kikki.K notebook and pen, Day 5 - Washi tape and bird fabric ribbon from Typo, Day 6 - Kikki.K pens, refills and Crunchie chocolate (one of my fave)

Jason has been so thoughtful with each gift and you can not believe how much I squee each day that I open one. I do love to see Jason's reaction to his gifts too. I'm a little bit random with his gifts because can be so hard to buy for. 

Only two more days of work! Have a great rest of week.

Advent Calendar First 5 Days

Hello my lovelies. I'm looking forward to the Christmas break. Only two more weeks of work to go! 

However, I'm loving the Advent Calendar we are doing. I thought I would show the five days that I've opened the gifts. 

Day One - Pfeffernusse. I'm a huge fan of gingerbread biscuits. 

Ah I love this stuff. We both do. 

Day two - Big, red and white polka dot journal/notebook. Jason is so tricksy. He saw me pick it up once at Typo and so he bought it for me when I wasn't there. 

Day Three - A little pink mushroom ornament. Again he saw me pick this up in Myer. 

Day Four - A pink Smiggle pencil tin. He knows I love pink, stationery and Smiggle. 

Day Five - Pretty heart shaped magnet from Kikki.K. Again this just makes me realise how well Jason knows me. 

I still have seven days to open. I was going to share the items I bought Jason but they aren't as cute as the ones he bought me. 

Have a wonderful weekend!!

My Advent Calendar

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. 

From another angle. 

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!
