Advent Calendars

I'm a simple girl. This is kind of plain, but I like the way it turned out. My daughter's opinion is still out though. She asked me this morning, "What IS that, Mommy?" I think she just wants more candy, LOLOL!



We are also doing a Jesse tree and my old cross stitched stockings. I printed the Jesse tree ornaments and lessons from here. I picked out a branch and my husband set it in concrete in a little pot for me. I'm planning to clean off the kitchen table and have that as my centerpiece for the month of December. It is amazing how bad the picture of that branch is! I'll take a new one when I get my table set up. I think I need to trim the branch just a tad.

Here is a picture of those cross stitched stockings. I made these years ago when I still cross stitched. For some reason photography and scrapbooking have taken over.
