Now that Thanksgiving has passed & tomorrow marks the first day of December, I have to ask, are you ready for the Holidays?

Tonight we'll be picking out our Christmas tree [hooray!]. And I have some crafty Holiday ideas that I will hopefully be starting this week. Today I saw this sweet little advent calendar made out of paper scraps and match boxes .. I think I'll have to add it to the to-do list!

"Just hot glue the tops of empty boxes to one another so you get rows.
The bottom should be 9 and decrease by two until you have a single box.
Cut wrapping paper to cover each row, secure with hot glue.
Then hot glue the rows in a tree shape as shown.
I used small stamps to stamp the numbers on each box.
On top you can hot glue a star or a cut out like I did on this one.
Fill the boxes with candy and trinkets and you are ready to go."
