I made this advent calendar a few years ago, and every year we hang it up on the evening of the 30th so that Santa can send his elves to fill it for us. Unfortunately this year I completely forgot to get it out of the loft in time, so we had to write a special note to Santa to ask him to fill it a day late. The next day when they saw it, each pocket with two chocolates in, one for each boy, their little faces lit up and Ed exclaimed; "even the note has gone!" Toooo cute.
The usual "are you sure we've had our counting chocolate today?" has of course ensued, and a measly 2 days in, someone stole 2 chocolates, one from the 6th and one from the 14th. No-one will admit to it so the those pockets stand empty until someone does (I removed the leftovers from those days in the hope their love for each other might push them to be honest with me, since the one who didn't steal will be missing out. Probably a bit optimistic, they are only 3 and 4 after all. Worth a try though haha).
Random projects by an average 'have-a-go-Sally', hoping to inspire you to get creative too, be it in the kitchen, in your craft room or just on that tiny space you found on the living room coffee table. Look out for regular posts; Monday Makes (crafty projects), Tempting Tuesdays (baking experiments), Wreck it Wednesdays (Wreck This Journal fun), #tbt (sharing old craft projects), Sticky Saturdays (messy play and crafty projects with children) and #SensorySunday (sensory play with baby Zander).
How precious! =D
