Advent Archives

I'm so glad I'm not the only one who is already looking towards Advent! It doesn't happen every year, but this year, I did get the jump on things and plan to be mostly finished with Christmas preparations by the time Advent starts.  Anyway, I thought I'd pull these posts out of the archives and make them easier to find for those of you also getting a jump on things, or for those of you who need a little push to get you going! We have company coming this weekend to celebrate a birthday so don't be surprised if things are quiet for a while but be sure to check out Jessica's wonderful resources for Advent (scroll down to where it says "Advent") for more inspiration!

  1. Thanks for the resources! we're wanting to do a lot for Advent and Christmas this year. I bake a lot but we really want to feel the life and religious depth of the season in our home more than in the past. We have had a rough year and are ready for the celebration.

  2. Wow, Charlotte! This is incredible. Thank you for your generosity in sharing all these ideas with us. I will have to take some time and read through this list ... I have been saving Altoid tins all year. I should count to see if I have enough to make that adorable craft =)
