I am going to follow my sister, Rachel's lead and get crafty. I am going to buy some felt and bust out my broken sewing machine. Here are some great ideas I'm going to attempt to re-create (or go out and buy when they go on sale after Christmas) clock wise, starting from top left:
Felt Advent Calendar (Mine will have a nativity scene instead of a roof top. Each pocket will hold a piece of the nativity. #24 will have the star and #25 will have baby Jesus. My mom made one like that and I LOVED it growing up. We always used to fight over who got to place the baby in the manger.)
Little Ella Ornament (I'll have to buy this, I'm not THAT crafty)

I love everything! I had to smile when you described the Advent Calendar. I made my at a Relief Society craft night.
I hear you on the no decorating... I told myself next year too, but then I realized I'm gonna have a one year old next year, so you gotta share some of your tips with me!
Kid friendly decorating is a must. My nativity is within reach of the kids, but it's not ceramic on purpose. I love all the felt ideas. I cannot sew, but I feel like felt is always doable. Can't wait to see how your advent turns out. Those are my favorite!
I want to make that Advent Calendar too! I was sad when mom got rid of it. We need to work on some of this stuff together please!
AND...felt is eco-friendly. ugh, did i just say "eco-friendly"? i meant, fun. felt is fun. i love that ruffly wreath.
