November 16

I didn't stop making stuff; this project just took more than a day to complete. I've been wanting to make an Advent calendar for years, and finally got my act together in November, instead of pining for one in December when it was already too late. I pretty much copied Jenny's idea here but instead of putting squares of chocolate in the felt envelopes (didn't seem a good idea, above the fireplace), I've written prompts on the back of the dangles, to get us into the holiday spirit. Ali Edwards posted a PDF of holiday prompts which I selected from, and added a few of my own, to suit our family and climate.
