I decided to finally make an Advent calendar for my daughters. This one is for DD2, I still have to make DD1's.
I made 25 little boxes. The base, which you can't see, is plain white, measures 2.5 x 3, and then the top is made from assorted Christmas paper and measures 2 5/8 x 3 1/8. Both top and base are scored at 3/4 in. on all sides. I stamped three bold snowflakes and punched them out.
I used my daughter's Tombow brush markers to write the title and dates. Each little box holds a Nugget. (Yes, I know she should have already received this but I just finished it today...she'll be happy to eat several days of chocolate at one time.)
Thanks for looking!

Wow! You are truly ambitious to be making this wonderful advent calendar Catherine- I am really impressed with it! I love all these boxes filled with chocolates (yum) and your hand letting and numbers add to the heartfelt meaning of this very special gift. ~Karen.
