Advent

I'm attempting to make my own Advent calendar this year. Pottery barn has been a big inspiration with these two options. With that said, I thought I had the perfect plan until I came across this.
Isn't that the sweetest looking advent calendar ever? I'm fairly certain it would cost more to buy cute little baby socks rather than the felt I got for free from my mom, but nonetheless, it's adorable. I'm resisting the urge to run to Old Navy by searching online for other cute homemade ideas.

Whatever you come up with I know will be darling. You are so creative. If i didn't like you so much I would be jealous. ha ha ha!

Pottery Barn is really proud of their Advent calendars apparently. Good grief. Their prices are beyond ridiculous!

Good luck!!!

You could always go to Good Will or a childrens consignment store - I'll bet you could find some good socks there. Cute, cute.

Jenny - you are too great. I think I'm going to pass on doing it this year, but keep those mismatched christmas ones from next year and I'll take them.
