It's the most wonderful time of the year! Christmas time. I love the music, the decorations and the joyful spirit. This year I wanted to make Advent calendars for my family and friends. But, as we all know the holidays can get a little overwhelming with sweets - cookies and candy especially. So, I used gum to mark the days leading up to Christmas. I traced the cardboard sleeves of gum on festive paper, cut and glued them together. Then, using a piece of card stock, made a "book" to hold them. I attached a little piece of Velcro to hold the book shut. Each piece of gum is numbered 1 through 24. Here are a few of my calendars.
