A Little Treat....

Are you ready to count down to Christmas with a sweet treat??? i made this simple advent countdown calendar in about an hour and it will make a wonderful gift to give with some of our favorite muffin recipes. i will be back with the recipe holder next week, so check back for that! this is made with a very inexpensive muffin tin and the Collage Press Joyride collection papers and delight thickers (which are my new favorite- go grab some in the Scraptacular store today!!!)

here is what it looks like sitting on my craft table....




i cut 24- 2 inch squares, rounded the corners, added 2 pieces of magnetic strips and put the numbers on the front....




add a sweet treat in each mini muffin cup and you are ready to countdown.....


hope you are having a wonderful holiday season and this post finds you celebrating the season with the ones you love (and maybe with some chocolate, too...heehee)....

  1. Very cute idea, Lisa! This looks like something I would attempt...all the other advent calendars seem so involved with all the little boxes and such! Thanks for sharing, my kids will love this idea!
