Advent Calendar

This year, I've decided to make our own Advent Calendar that we'll be using over the years. It was an investment for us because there aren't that many craft stores in Europe, and if you find one, then they charge quite a lot for the materials. It's not the Paradise for me here as I love to learn all kinds of crafts and make things too.

Anyway, it took me quite some time to gather all the elements and decorate the calendar. A lot of the work had to be done late at night, after I put Kyrill down for the night. Juri helped me here and there, which was fun...

Tomorrow, we'll start using it and discover its treasures...

They kids can't wait to open these little drawers
I LOVE glitter so the calendar is full of them. Taiamani is in heaven too...
