Advent calendar drawers filled - tick. I had a quiet half hour while BB was off on a 'rescue'; somehow a tissue (or several!) went through the washing machine at my father’s flat, and the whole place was a winter snow scene. The quantity of tissue fragments was too much for our little handy rechargeable vacuum, and my father had already called his regular cleaner for help. Her dirt-busting vacuum made short work of the paper snow, thank heavens. But the kerfuffle gave me time to fill the drawers in both calendars.
The basket on the wooden box to the right is a bit of a mystery... when I unwrapped my son's irthday present to me, 24 numbered envelopes fell out addressed to both me and BB. The first one had the additional instruction 'open on 1st December'.
Later in the afternoon I ironed the larger pieces of felt in readiness to start my Corinne Lapierre Advent calendar ready for tomorrow.
I have read tomorrow's pages, just for a 'heads up' and I'm glad I did, as I'm going to need both large pieces. The big brown piece is the background, and the greenish piece will become... well, that's another mystery for now!
I'll take the Advent book that Ang sent me upstairs tonight so that I can read the first chapter in the morning
Each day is themed on a Christmas carol. It's the book written by a Pastor from Kalamazoo!
And, of course, my Jacqie Lawson calendar starts tomorrow. Looks like it will be a full day, every day until Christmas!
