Right around Thanksgiving, I started seeing a lot of blog posts about different Advent Calendars. I always had one growing up. It was one my Grandma made and was a plain colored felt tree and each day you put a different ornament on it. I've wanted to have one for Lexi, but I don't have time to make it and I'm not willing to shell out the $$ that I've seen for ones I like.
So, enter the blog posts. I saw an ingenious way to have a quick and easy advent calendar that was still cute so I took the idea and ran with it!
I used a bunch of Lexi's old socks and clothes pinned them on a piece of twine. I cut out 1" circles and stamped them with numbers 1-24 and safety pinned them onto the sock. The idea is to put a trinket or a piece of candy or something in each sock and every day, the child can countdown to Christmas.

Oh Liz that's a fantastic, fun idea!!!!! I too was looking for something for Kassidy, but ended up not doing anything since she's not with us that much. :-(
