Making This

I love a home-made advent calendar.  Unfortunately, as December 1st races towards us, I have yet to unearth mine.  I fear it may have gotten permanently misplaced in our pre-sale de-cluttering frenzy.

Luckily, the clever ladies at Prudent Baby (a new-to-me craft blog that demands further reading) promise that this advent calendar can be made in approximately an hour - which is lucky, because that's about all the time I have left.

By the way, our house is still available and re-priced to sell!  It won't fit in your stocking, but it is the real estate bargain of the season!
