Victorian Advent Calendar
I went to a crop with a local scrapbook club and we worked on these advent calendars...I have not made one of these before but mine quickly started to come together into a form that I just loved. And I used up lots of little things I had in my stash. The lace corners are from a christmas bulb cover gone bad, now saved and reused, the red buld that makes number 18 has a earring hook that broke off a old one I had, now it is the bulb hook....I just love this...all the squares are on magnets so they can be removed...I will work on this more when I get my family picture done...So when you remove the very last square you will see a picture of me and my family with a holiday greeting...
So it will serve double duty as a advent calendar and holiday picture frame all in one...I will be making a match box to hold all my squares safely as they are removed each day of December...and also noticed this can be used year after year....it is timeless....Happy Holidays....

Love your advent calendar. Does each square have a surprise picture underneath? you'll have to post and let us know how your cookie exchange went. Did you get pictures!
How adorable... so many interesting little pieces... I love it.
Oh my! DeeDee, your advent calendar is adorable! It's so great that you could use up things that others might throw away. Did you make it in a cookie sheet? Looks so very cool. Hope you are having a great day! :) Tammy
