Last year I had great fun creating a magnetic matchbox advent calender (shoo, that's a mouthful) and it also become one of my readers all time favourite posts - thank you. But this year I have decided to not even take it out and rather join another "advent-ture" (to quote Amanda). I have my copy of Truth in the Tinsel and I'm all set to go.
I've taken the picture clues (provided in the book), printed them out and created these discs. (I used my much-loved circle punches to make them). I've attached the discs onto a kitchen cupboard so that the children can view the clues at any time. I think it will be a nice visual reminder as we progress through the month, especially as I don't foresee us making a craft every day.
To read more about it all, pop on over to the official website and to see what others are getting up to you can visit the official Facebook page. I will hopefully be sharing some of our crafts here during the coming month.
Please let me know if you are joining in and posting about it. I would love to pop over and see what you are up to :).

I love this idea - I popped over from your comment on my blog - I'm trying to think of ways I could make it girlie... if I come up with a pink-christmas version I'll let you know and link back! As always; so many ideas on my craft-to-do-list so little time when two toddlers are asleep!
