Hey!

I just finished making these DIY scratch-off advent ornaments, and so I thought I'd send over a quick email to show you how they turned out.

I've also included the advent calendars that I made in the previous two years as well, just in case you're looking for more inspiration. :)

Toilet Paper Roll Advent Calendar (from 2014)

Quick Easy DIY Advent Calendar for Very Busy Parents p

Quick and Easy DIY Advent Calendar for 'Very-Busy' Parents (from 2013)

Do you ever have those “OMG it is 30th November and I haven’t gotten around to making / buying an Advent Calendar this year, what the heck can I whip up last minute” moments?

But no worries, because I have the solution! [click to continue]

Do you make your own advent calendars too? I'd love to see them if you do!
