Altered Advent Calendar

While blog surfing this morning, I came across a post on of cats and cardstock blog titled “One more reason to go to Starbucks.” I was already leaning toward a stop by Starbucks anyhow (a little caffeine comes in handy when chasing – I mean teaching 😉 – three to six year olds during Sunday School) and seeing her beautiful altered advent calendar solidified it. Off I went for a cup of iced Mocha (yes, iced – that Sunday School classroom is HOT) and an advent calendar.

After lunch, I pulled out lots of fun scraps & stash to begin altering it. Flipped the XM Radio on our satellite to Holiday Traditions to help get into the Christmas spirit. And a bit later I had my own altered calendar.

Here are photos of the results. It’s now proudly sitting on the top of the entertainment center in our living room.
