Our calendar is already filling up with fun get-togethers and we're hosting a hand full of our own. I LOVE LOVE LOVE to decorate for Christmas and entertain family and friends. <BR/><BR/>I've been on the lookout for a nice advent calendar as well. I love this idea! I don't think I can fit it in with all of the other holiday knits I need to finish, but I'm going to file away this idea for next year.Lizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07254038797661471114noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21210109.post-31723877711624491592007-11-12T17:12:00.000-05:002007-11-12T17:12:00.000-05:00What a fabulous idea!

And how fun that you will have something to pass down to Rosebud or Pepe when they are all grown up. *sniff* Thankfully, that is a long way off.<BR/><BR/>I, too, treasure the handmade and vintage ornaments. My parents' tree topper is a construction paper that I made as a kindergartener in coughhack1978coughhack. We also have the homemade ornaments from Aunt Ruthie, Aunt Virginia, and Aunt Donna.
