Christmas Countdown

Here is my attempt at a new Christmas Countdown. 

I put it together while I watched Shark Tank (I love that show) last night.  I finished putting this together before the show even ended!  These days, I like projects that I can get down quick.

 I cut a tag template from cardstock and used it to trace and cute 25 tags (which I realized, I probably should have only done 24, since you aren't actually suppossed to count Christmas day).  I used a taper runner to adhere them to piece of foam board.

 Next, I stuffed 25 sandwich bags with three pieces of candy in each one, since I have three kids that will be eating the treats everyday.

I used a circle punch and scrapbook numbers to make the tags. Then I punched a whole in each number and tied it around the bags with ribbon.

I used large glue dots to stick the bags onto each tag on the foam board.  (I hope this holds up.  If I doesn't, I will staple them to secure each one.)

 

 

Stuff you Stocking!

Holiday Themes!

Preparing for the holiday, with small kids, is one of my favorite things! I look forward to all the crafts, cooking, and messes that we will make together! In our home, we celebrate Advent so we do read The Jesse Tree and do this kit to go along. We have also done this Christmas countdown in the past; althought, this year I am attempting to make a new one (which I will share when it is done).

 Here are some fun themes to go along with holiday preperation!

There are so many things and people that I am thankful for this Thanksgiving.  However, at this moment, I am most thankful for this quiet moment to sit down and write a quick blog post!  I hope that you and your family have an abundance of things to be thankful for this Thanksgiving!

 

We have been doing a lot of fun turkey, indian, pilgrim and Mayflower crafts this week.  I wanted to share a few.  I pinned several that look really fun too!  Check it out here! (The "Candy" Corn on the Cob is my favorite!)
