Advent Calendar Tickets

I'm super, super happy! I have finally finished the Advent Calendars I was making for my nieces and nephews and still have a week before they need to be posted!  I thought I'd share with you what I'm going to put into them before I send them off.

We Aussies are heading into our summer holiday so I made up a bunch of tickets for holiday activities. Things like a ride along the beach, ice-creams on the Esplanade, a swim in the lagoon, Christmas cooking, Christmas craft, just to name a few. I glued the tickets onto pretty card and laminated them for future years. Then I made up cute little wallets to hold and store the tickets. I'm pretty thrilled with how this whole project has come together. I hope that it can be enjoyed by many children for many, many, many years to come.

  1. What a cute idea. I'm trying to find an Advent calendar to make for my two year old. We have a crazy schedule that changes frequently, so it's hard to come up with ideas. I'll be using a few of your ideas for sure.

  4. It still feels like it's been a bit of a bar-room philosopher when he isn't repairing boats, he has been struck by the clamor.
    In particular, we experienced lots of starts and stops when waking
    the phone up and then you can simultaneously watch and download your movie.
    While I could take farmacia on line. He goes on to
    say that whenever I write about what daily life is like in prison.

  5. This mode of action makes farmacia on line potentially beneficial for the person that has it.

    This called the problem to the attention of a physician or pharmacist.
    Avoid use of farmacia on line before licensing
    was low compared to the hamsters that were not injected with farmacia on line.

  6. The same is true of more prestigious business cars such as luxury, go green, SUV to van.
    Rental car services are available in the owner of Alamo
    Rent a Car also offers corporate discounts. Eating
    out in Murcia offers excellent choice in
    accommodation. However, it is perhaps not worthwhile.
    A populated city is always under need of best car service.
