Seeing so many great ideas for handmade advent calendars on the webs, I was inspired to create one for my kids this year. It's similar to the one in #4. <br />I so enjoyed reading your story about working at the chocolate factory. What a sweet job - pun intended. ;)Theresa / InspirationCOOPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03002811206184372985noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7318466817007169354.post-72211698436852847582012-12-04T15:14:25.873-05:002012-12-04T15:14:25.873-05:00I love the story about you working in a chocolate ...I love the story about you working in a chocolate factory! That's so neat!! And I would have been fired from that job for eating everything that came off the line, haha. I love all of these advent calendars so much, they are all so adorable and sweet. We had an advent calendar, but we didn't get treats for each day. We just moved a little toy mouse from pocket to pocket to count down the days. Maybe there was supposed to be candy or toys, but we never had them. I feel like I missed out! :)Erinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13225531828714263972noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7318466817007169354.post-50181839113964679932012-12-04T15:07:49.220-05:002012-12-04T15:07:49.220-05:00!!!!!!
