Craft and Create

An Advent to Make an Advent, that's what we called this gathering. We finished November with some serious nachos, The Glee Christmas Album and lots of messy crafting. It was Jillian's goal to learn how to use her great grandmother's sewing machine and Teri's goal to dust off some of her crafting doo-dads, all to create a Christmas Advent Calender. The task was much larger than we planned and most projects were taken home to complete this coming weekend. But it was a great evening spent laughing and kicking off the holiday. I love these ladies and we always know how to have a great time.

Oh yes, when we craft... we get messy!

Here is the advent calender I made for Erik. I cheated and started the project last weekend.

There you have it, another craft and create
