Last year Nana came to the rescue with a beautiful Advent calender she made for the kiddos. I was lagging in the crafty department but, had I thought of this or seen this tutorial for an easy advent calender from The Mother Huddle,via Tip Junkie I could've done this in no time.
Now you all know that I don't sew so, instead I would purchase little sacks from Fabric Barn (a local craft store) and tie them with the ties that come with the bags. Soooo easy! I may still make this and hang Nana's advent calender too, it's too beautiful not to.
Now is the time to start your Christmas projects. Don't get behind like I always do and try to cram them all in the last week before Christmas!

Advent Calender (Nana Made it)
I always have great ideas (or at least I think they are) but, never seem to either find the time or have the right supplies on hand to get them made. I found a great post for The Lazy mom's guide to making an advent calender but, Christmas is less than a week away and I can't justify starting a new project this close to Christmas when I have so many other projects to finish.
This is where Nana comes to the rescue! She sewed together this beautiful heirloom Advent calender that I will be able to use for years to come.It hangs on the wall in the living room at a height perfect for the kids. I will stuff each day with small candy canes for them to pull out as they count down to Christmas. The kids love it as much as I do and I didn't even have to make it! even better hahaha.
Thanks Mom. You Rock!
