Create a Special Advent Calendar for Next Christmas

Jenny Kompolt, contributor | December 26th, 20086 comments

Here’s a wonderful heirloom project you can start creating and collecting for next year. This advent calendar has been in the family for over 30 years and we’re as excited to open and hang little trinkets and treasures now as we were when we were young!
