Homemade Advent Calendar: Welcome To The Weekend Blog Hop.

Happy Friday everyone. Pinch punch, it’s the first of the month!

Wow, this year is going by so quickly, blink and you will miss it.

Hope you are having a lovely week so far? The weekend has soon come around again and it is freezing around here. It tried to snow last night but we are snow free this morning.

I really do not fancy going out first thing walking with Mollie the Collie but she will not leave me alone until after her walk!

Welcome back to this weeks ‘Welcome To The Weekend Blog Hop’. Happy you are here and hope you have fun hopping around the blog hop to find new blogs to follow.

Homemade Advent Calendar:

Last year I made my Daughter this homemade advent calendar. She loved it. Trouble is I could not share it here or it would have ruined the surprise if she had seen it.

I got a makeup gift set for all the gifts and wrapped them all up individually.

I used an old heart shape, tinsel, brown paper and an advent list of numbers from a sheet of paper they put onto the Mcdonnald’s serving trays. Plus a bit of sellotape and string to dangle the gifts.

She wanted me to make her on this year but Daddy has brought her a special one. I bet she will be looking for one-off Mummy though.

    Oh what a great idea for an advent calendar! 🙂 It's a shame not all the photos have loaded for me as the description sounds great!I love that food tree too! Wish I'd seen that earlier, we had to bring snacks to a CHristmas party and that would have been perfect!Hope you are having a lovely weekend! We did a lot of Christmasy things like putting our tree up which was good, and they predicted wild weather but so far it's staying away which is nice.Away From The Blue Blog

    Such a lovely idea for an advent calendar. My daughter has three – chocolate, lego and a personalised one that the elves fill with sweets 😉 It's making her want to get out of bed in the morning on weekdays, which makes a change!Emma xxx

      Thanks Emma. Ha, my Daughter gets out of bed a lot quicker now too. We should have one for every month of the year 😉

    Hi Claire, what a lovely idea for an Advent calendar. I think creating one for a girl is far easier than for a boy, girls like little nicnacs, whereas boys have costlier tastes! This week I shared a dog food recipe post, not very festive unless you add cranberries, turkey and sprouts!Thank you for hosting.xx

    • 2 December 2017 / 09:45

      Yes, I agree Debbie. I would not know where to start making one for my boys 🙂 Whoo I will hop over now and take a look.

    What a lovely homemade Advent Calendar, Claire! And I love the cheese tray too! I'm sharing a post on how to make a wreath for Christmas and a Chocolate Blueberry Pudding Cake that's real comfort food (you can use frozen blueberries to make it). Thank you for hosting, and Happy December!
