My Crafty Side

I decided yesterday that I wanted to make an Advent Calendar.  And I wanted it to be a 24 day count down, but with scripture references each day reguarding the birth of Christ.  However, I couldn't find enough…..so!  At lds.org, I found a 12 day count down with references, and kind of borrowed it.  So 12 days on my calendar will have scriptures and little felt figures, and 12 days will have a candy.

Tristan and I went to JoAnns today, and well, he's heavy.  Haha, but we got some felt, and some fabric to make the calendar.  We also ran into Sis Yorgason and her daughter Megan.  We were in the same ward last year and we taught Megan's primary class.  It was really nice to see them, and to have her tell us how much they loved us as teachers.  I miss teaching, it was a lot of fun, and I learned a lot.

But then me and Tristan took Nick some food at school before going home to start the calendar.  We took a break halfway through to pick up Nick and take my little bro Phil to Walmart.  I just finished it, haha and it's 1:30 in the morning.  Nick helped me cut out some of the felt figures, since I wasn't terribly great at it.  Overall, I think it turned out pretty well!  As good as a gluegun can do, right?  Haha.
