My Homemade Advent Calendar

I made this after seeing the idea in one of those seasonal craft magazines you get in the check-out line at the grocery. It’s just spruced up matchboxes tacked to a bulletin board. But I used scrapbooking paper instead of construction paper and went to town on little decorations {you can never have too much glitter, ever}. Here are all the boxes {click to see larger}:

And what’s inside?

An Andes mint! Yum!

There was only enough room in each matchbox for 1 candy, so Adam and I are taking turns. I get odd days, he gets even, except for days when our holiday house guests are here. Then they get the goodies. And on Christmas eve there will be an extra special something for my brother-in-law if he’s able to make it here. But I’m not telling yet what it is!

Come back tomorrow for more holiday pictures!
