Advent Calendar

Hi. I have been very, very busy working on projects, but was not able to show them off... My camera had been on the fritz for quite some time now and I just could not get any photos. On black Friday my mom and I went to Sam's Club at 5AM and I got a new camera. Nikon CoolPix S550. I really like mine, but my mom is not so sure she likes hers.... Anyway - to all those patient soles... I will be posting my advent calendar... It is a bit unlike those you have seen. It is a flip book (bound on the top) with an envelope for each day of advent (well actually 1-24 and not the actual advent season). Inside the envelope is a special note. Some lady's in my club were putting blessing inside the envelopes, others were putting items that they can do to show love to other and God during the advent season. The fun was decorating the back side of the pages so the book had a focal point, the BACK. Anyway - Each day I am going to share my calendar - Since I am a bit late, today I am showing the first 8 pages. All art work is copywrite Stampin' Up!® and the designs are Melinda Andreyo, Independent Stampin' Up! Consultant.

OOPS.... I stamped the wrong direction... Did not fix the page - Thought it might be nice for later years to see the OOPS as I progress with my skills.

See you tomorrow with page 9... Stay Tuned.

joys of crafting and fellowship,
Melinda Andreyo
