I don't want to push Christmas before it's time, but here is something you will want to start early so you have it ready for the first of December... a Photo Advent Calendar.

I love advent calendars and wanted one that was personalized. So I created this house design in illustrator and the template for placing the photos behind it.


You can download the pdf's to make your own Photo Advent Calendar on 1000 Words and more detailed instructions for making it.

You can open a window for each day in December and see one of your favorite photos!


I also made an Oscar and Stewie back panel so you could have a Pug and Cat Advent Calendar if you don't have time to fill one in with your own pictures. Or maybe you just want a cute Pug and Cat Advent Calendar. You can download this panel at 1000 Words too.

    I love Advent Calendars too! My mom still buys them for my sister and I (I'm 30 and she's 28). I'm so impressed with how "crafty" you are by personalizing your own calendar.

    Side note: I'm trying to start my blog again and would love for you to take a look at mine.
