I suggest you do not change anything to the pockets, because if you do, how will they look if they have inside Christmas things?

Lovely advent calendar, Tink! I think it's great as it is. Only put decorations on the pockets if the added designs have significance to you.

That's beautiful! My Grandma and Granddad gave us an Advent calendar, every year, when they came for Thanksgiving...it was kind of the kick-off to the Christmas season. Years later, when Grandma and Granddad could no longer afford to get them, I continued buying them for myself, my two younger brothers and my Mom. Grandma and Granddad are both gone, now, but I love that tradition they began, so many years ago.

I like it very much:rudolph:
How will you decorate it?

MissSantaClaus
09-21-2010, 07:52 PM
First of all, I will paint it. Maybe red green. The roof with snow spots and then I will buy a Santa Claus and Reindeer ( if I can find them ) and sit them on the roof. Or something like that. I can't wait to start : )
Do you have any ideas for me ?

*Snowflake*
09-21-2010, 08:03 PM
I like this idea with Santa and Reindeer:elf3:
I have one idea,what about putting the moss on the roof and then spray it with snow (it"s not snow but really similar)?

MissSantaClaus
09-21-2010, 08:06 PM
Either i will use a snow spray or use opaque white. Awww I'm so excited :) And on the doors I will paint something christmassy. Tree, gifts .. or something like that or use a motive from a Christmas napkin.

*Snowflake*
09-21-2010, 08:10 PM

Tink, that calendar is very, very nice. I wouldn't add anything at all - the cute pockets look really classy with just the golden letters. You're very talented!

I agree with Chantelle. You have given your calendar a classy look which is also traditional. You know the saying, "less is more." Very nice work, Tink!
