Advent Calendars for 2010

As promised, here are the pictures of the Advent Calendars.  They are fun to make and each one is embellished differently.  Thanks to SVG and Mary for the pattern to cut the boxes and doors on my Cricut.  I used all Close To My Heart papers and some embellishments.  I had as much fun making them as the children will opening a door each day.

I made one more, however I gave it away before photographing it...lol

Recipes

This is a collection of my favourite recipes.  I used toilet paper rolls flattened, decorated with scraps of scrapbook papers, printed the recipes on cardstock front and back and cut them out to fit into the openings in the rolls.  There are recipes for appies, soups, salads, sauces, main dishes and desserts.  Each roll can hold a few recipe cards.  Each decorated roll has two eyelets and I used hemp to tie them all together into a book.
