Envelope Advent Calendar

Hello everyone! The holidays are almost upon us, and I thought an envelope Advent calendar swap would be a lot of fun! What you'll do is send one partner 24 numbered envelopes containing little goodies for them to open each day of December, leading up to Christmas Day. The goodies do not have to be holiday themed, but they do need to be nice things! You can include:

• stickers
• scrapbook papers
• washi tape
• ephemera
• ribbons
• candies
• tea / hot cocoa / coffee
• cards / notecards / writing paper
• any small items you can think of!

Really you just want to send you partner items that will make them happy this holiday season!

As for the envelopes, they need to be numbered (very important!) and decorated in a holiday/winter theme. They can be any size or shape, and can even be a paper sack or small box -- as long as it's something your partner can open. And because we're putting together so many envelopes I do not expect each envelope to be handmade and embellished like crazy, but please create something nice to look at if you partner decides to display your advent calendar!

Here are some inspirations for this project:

• Holiday Shape Advent at envelopments ~ This one shows different sized envelopes arranged in the shape of a Christmas tree (though you could do a snowflake/snowman or something else)

• Hanging Advent at Land of Nod blog ~ this one has small bags (though they could easily be envelopes) hanging by clothespins to a piece of ribbon

There are other great ways to make this, which you can find by googling 'envelope advent calendar' or using pinterest. I really want you to be inspired and make this as creative as possible!

To sum up, you will send your partner: 24 numbered & holiday/winter themed envelopes containing 24 little goodies. If you want to give them instructions on display or send twine/ribbon & a way to hang your calendar, that is up to you.

Requirements: at least 10 type 3 swaps and a 4.9 rating with no recent 1's or 3's. Sign up deadline and send date are close because you can begin working on this project right away. You can message me if you have any questions, or leave comments below.

I hope everyone will use their imagination with this one and create something fun for their partner! Happy Advent making!
