Here is what the final picture will be:
And here are the daily "envelopes":
Each day they will open a new piece to the nativity and we have scripture to go with it and a new Christmas song to learn each night. I'm quite excited. I'm not completely finished with all the daily envelopes, but I figure I still have a little bit of time to work on each one. I think this year I'm going to hide the envelopes on the tree so they have to find it each day, but next year I imght hang them up as garland.
Re: AW: My Handmade Advent
That looks awesome! Way to go. I'm sure your children will love it. I still have fond memories of going through our advent "calendar" during the Christmas season.
I wish I was as crafty as you ladies are!
Looks wonderful! Very creative. I love how you're incorporating the bible verses and songs into it and teaching your kids what Christmas is really about.

Ooh! Would you share everything? Pretty please?!? Maybe if I get started now, I'll finally have one made when I have kids!
Send me an email (thejonesfamily AT ec.rr.com) and I will send you the files I've put together and try to help.
Thanks! YGM!
