Christmas Countdown...

Yes, I know Christmas is over.

No, I haven't started counting down to next Christmas yet.

But I still wanted to show off this CUTE Christmas countdown I made for my aunt and uncle's family this year!

It turned out so cute, and was really simple to make.

So, you use a mini muffin pan (I got mine from Walmart for $3.94). It should have 24 holes in it. Then you need some magnet strips (enough to completely back all 24 of the 2 inch covers). Get the strongest kind you can find. Mine was from Roberts and it worked great. And you need your lovely scrapbook supplies and some creativity! (I also got a little picture stand to display it on from Roberts for about $7).

Put it all together and voila! you have a Christmas Countdown!

You can put anything inside the spots: scriptures, small toys, candy. I just did chocolate. You can't go wrong with chocolate.

(p.s. the other day, Lucy came up to me and said, with a very serious look on her face, "I need some kocko-lat." It was awesome. She knows when it is a need, not a want.)

Be careful, those little muffin holes are smaller than they look.

Anyway, it was a big hit at the family Christmas party when I gave it to them. I need to make one for myself for next year! They are so fun!
