2009 Advent

For any of you that know me... I am a TOTAL sucker for Nativity Scenes & Advent Calendars! I even got a new Nativity this Christmas from Mom & Dad! (thanks guys! I. LOVE. IT!)
I collect them both! & we enjoy them at the Christmas season. LOVE EM'!
One of my 2009 resolutions is to "Keep the 'Spirit of Christmas' alive" All throughout the year. I just love the feeling of the season. Seems to bring out the best in everyone.

More love, more generosity, more kindness, more patience, more smiles, Everything seems more wonderful! I want that all year long!!!

(even some of my Christmas "reminders" are not being put away this year)
(I am secretly hoping too, that this will also help me be more prepared when the actual Christmas Season rolls around in 2009; so that we can take the time to really enJOY it)


SO.... It is going to be Christmas @ the Allen home... ALL YEAR! Ü


Just look at what i came across today...

It is an invitation for an Advent Sew Along! I want ALL of you to play too! I just love this idea! Doesn't have to be a stocking... the point is to get your new advent calendar done for 2009!
I think that i AM going to use the stocking idea... only use my own pattern for the actual stocking.
So fun!
K, so i want you to go here or here to find out more info!!!
They are even providing us with a FREE tutorial!!
I can't WAIT to see what you come up with!

I REALLY need to do this! 2 years ago, I found, on ebay, the same pattern my mom used in the seventies to make the advent calendar of my childhood. The goal was to make one for each of my six siblings, and give them as their christmas gift {they really would all flip out - we all love it}. But alas, two years later...the pattern is still sitting in my craft "to do" box!
So, I WILL join you - but will you bug me about my progress, PLEASE? I have to be responsible to someone's nagging, or it won't get done!!! Thanks Jodi! What a fun idea!!!
