Those of you that know me well, know how much I LOVE Christmas! I really do love it! There is just something about the whole season that makes me feel such joy. And about this time each year, places like Hobby Lobby start to transform the store in preparation for Christmas. To most this is aggravating and even somewhat ridiculous, but I secretly love it :). Now I know, its July, but I am SO done with the summer heat and ready for the crisp fall nights that turn into the holiday season and the snow! So we went to Will's grandparent's house in South Carolina this weekend and his Nannie had a Gooseberry Patch Christmas book. I started looking at it and I just got so excited about Christmas! I'm looking forward to the holidays with Emma this year, I think she is really going to enjoy it so much more as she is a little older. In this book, I found so many great Christmas crafts I'd love to make but there was one that I am in love with and I am going to definitely make for her!
~Peppermint Advent Calendar~
Growing up, my Grandma cross stitched us an advent similar to this that had a message from Santa on it and each day we pulled a candy cane off marking down the days til Christmas Eve. I cannot cross stitch :), so when I saw this peppermint advent, it reminded me so much of when I was little and I want to share that same excitement with Emma! I can't wait to make it!
