Hi Just found your blog while finding out who gets on my blog. WOW! This is amazing. So many fun ideas and creativity. I was glad to see I was a winner awhile back and didn’t even know it til now. Thanks for all the great ideas and posts.
Oh I love these ideas!! I want to try one…but which to choose?!
Cool, I love these ideas! Thank goodness for the holidays.
I planned to make one of the cookie sheet advent calendars last year but never found the time! Will I ever have more time in the day, lol? Thanks for the fab ideas!

wow! thanks for sharing these cool links and photos! so inspiring!
Thanks for the mention, Laurie! I’m glad you liked my joke tree. It’s actually a lot of fun to make cause you have to find (or make up) all these cheesy winter/holiday jokes.
Your post also reminded me that it’s already time to get started on an advent calendar for this year! Yikes!
These are GREAT ideas. Wow! Thanks for sharing!
Went to click on the clipboard tutorial and it said I needed a password.
Couldn’t view the clipboard advent. I’d really like to check it out, but it said you had to log in with a user and password. Can the tutorial viewed elsewhere?
