I love anything with little windows and doors, especially when there are secrets behind them. Today I got out my collection of Advent Calendars. Here are a few, collected over the years from BasBleu. Can you stand it? Russian and Italian architecture with WINDOWS AND DOORS!
Here's one I made a few years ago - behind each window is my collection of Madonna & Child Christmas postage stamps - looks kinda lame now so I'm about to start a new one. Not a real advent calendar, but still a countdown of sorts. I'm determined to make a little something each day before Christmas as inspired by my friend Kathryn who has prompted her posse of Soul Journalers on her blog. Kathryn challenges you to chronicle gifts of gratitude....on the heels of Thanksgiving, it's perfect. Two inches a day on a journal page seems do-able, and it will keep me plugged in to good vibes taking me right up to Christmas. The day is almost over....gotta get Day One made.
