We won't be spending Christmas with my Mom this year, however I made this Advent Calendar for her to countdown the days until Christmas. I know these aren't the traditional colours of Christmas, however I loved these design papers by Bo Bunny. This was such fun to make. At first I didn't think I could come up with enough ideas on how to decorate each box, but once I got going, I ran out of boxes before I ran out of ideas. The toughest part was finding items to insert in the 2" x 2" boxes. I would even take a box with me when I'd go shopping, in order to test if the items I'd find would actually fit in the box. I hope my Mom enjoys opening this as much as I enjoyed making it for her.

This is so sweet and wonderfully made with love. I'm sure your mother will love this. I like seeing the use of different papers. This was a really nice idea.
