Here is Nicol’s Christmas Matchbox Advent tutorial.
The Nerd-Bucket has several fun advent options
Mini Clipboard Advent Calendar
Count Down
My Sweet Susie made this adorable matchbox Christmas advent box. The box is filled with 24 cards that give suggestions for a new activity for each day until Christmas. You give the boxes on the First of December and then you are DONE for the rest of the month.
I found this birdhouse advent calendar tutorial over on Capture the Moment.
Allsorts has several fun advent ideas. I really like this cone idea which doubles as a decor.
Bumblebird hooked us up with a tutorial on how to make this house advent calendar
Skip To My Lou made this darling birdie calendar.

I thought this box advent from The Painter Family was a fun.
Jane made an advent out of several sets of boxes with drawers.
Bits & Pieces has made an activity advent to do with her family.

Really fun ideas! The mittens are awfully cute. I thought I submitted my advent calendar to you, but I might have spaced it, or you may have had too many to feature.
