Christmas Advent Calendar

I can't believe it, I started a project and actually finished it and all in one weekend. After my sister showed me the idea of this cute advent calendar made out of a 24 cup muffin tin... I knew this was a project I wanted to complete. I had the perfect opportunity this weekend - my friend Ginger hosted a scrapbook weekend at the Crystal Inn in Logan. I got a good start on it Friday night and I finished it up Sunday night. It actually was so much fun to make! Each square has magnets on the back that sticks to the tin and you can put candy, thoughts, scriptures, activities, etc. under each day to countdown the days until Christmas. So after many many requests here are the pictures.... I took these pictures off my sister Elise's blog but ours are almost identical. (and just for you Dawn the solid colored squares are 2 1/2" and the patterned paper is 2 1/4")

That is so cute...Just wondering if you could e-mail me some pictures that are closer...I can't see very good, I am a little blind :) They are adorable, and it looks like it may be something even I could do.

That is adorable!!! Did you have a pattern to follow to make each individual scrapbook square, or did you just make it up and embelish it will what you had? (does that make sense?) Anyway, if you had a pattern, then I'd like it, I do so much better if can have something to copy!:) That is such a cute idea!
