Advent Calendar Blog Hop!!!

Aloha Everyone,

Yes it's here the Advent Calendar Blog Hop! Are you ready for all the great Christmas inspiration! I can't wait to see everyone's awesome creations. I want to thank Ruthie from September Ninth for having me, and letting me join in on the fun.

Now on to the fun!

Here is my Advent Calendar. I used felt for the back and made cake boxes to hold my advent sayings. I then used velcro to attach it to the felt. I had so much fun making this.
