Butterfly Mixed Media House

Mixed media is one of my favorite types of art to create and this project has such pretty little doodle accents in it. I had a great time making this project and hope it inspires you to make something similar!

Creating My Own Advent Calendar

I’ve been on the hunt for quite some time for a project to create my own advent calendar and I finally, finally, finally came across one on Etsy! My mother-in-law always sends such thoughtful and fun little treats for the kids, so I got it into my head that I wanted to create an advent calendar for her with some cute little bits and bobs that she can be surprised with daily. A few years back, I made her a surprise ball for her birthday with a mermaid theme and she adored having to open it layer by layer, so an advent calendar would probably be another happy little thing to open too!

For about a year now, I’ve enjoyed purchasing projects from MyPorchPrints. A lovely little shop featuring digital downloads that you can print from home and then construct to make stunning projects. I’ve made quite a few of the projects and journals using their downloads, so when I decided to do a little search for an advent calendar, guess what came up!!

Soooo exciting!

And it was super easy to do. While the cutting took a little bit of time (but with Netflix on, who cares!) it was pretty easy to construct and then embellish with a few little spots of glitter. Then came the super fun part of filling up the tiny boxes with treats and goodies.

From miniature candies to miniature ornaments, these little boxes each have something to bring a smile to Grammy’s face when she opens up each day.

Now to get it ready to send off to her… time to start packaging it up and getting it ready for December 1st!
