I have a goal to make one this year for our girls...we had one growing up when we were small...and I just loved waking up in the morning and getting excited over opening a little gift our mother had wrapped up for us...the gifts were usually small...but thoughtful...they could even be a little chocolate bar...or a pack of hair-bands...
I don't have any pictures of ours...but I think ours had numbers sewn onto the wall hanging and strings attached to each number so the gifts could be hung from them.
This one above with the little stockings is so precious...it can be found HERE
for these little cones go HERE
WHAT traditions does your household have in prepparing for the Holiday Season?
I am now off to start and finish a commission for a family portrait...which will be a little like THIS one I made...and tomorrow I can show you the commissioned piece I finished last night...another family portrait in the same style...but I will be delivering the piece...
HUGS...and have a FAB Tuesday...

i'm looking forward to seeing what you create and good luck with the car!
Oooh they're so gorgeous! I'm making one using this pattern, but it's taking me ages to find the materials- I wish I'd bought the kit!: http://www.aktraditions.com/html/advent_calendar_kit.html
Oh every year I wish I'd get around to making a cool advent calendar like these-and I always end up starting way too late-and end up with the chocolate ones :)
Good luck with your car-car troubles are no fun :(
i love the look of advents but as a child i was never patient enough for them. but they are so darling
These are great! I had one as a child, and hopefully next year I'll be able to start the tradition with my son. By the way, the family portrait you linked to is awesome! I love it!
Happy Creating!

Oh Char!
I truly love advent calendars!
My mom used to buy one for us every year, and then my brother and I would run down to the kitchen every morning to open the little doors and share the chocolates inside... Such a sweet memory! (Thank you for bringing that back!)
Anyway, I love the ones you featured and will go to have a better look at them straight away!!
My favorites are the one with the knitted socks, and the one with the cones! They reall make me wish it was already december! :D
