Crafting a countdown

I have fond memories of taking home colorful cardboard advent calendars from the grocery store.  I recall choosing between 3 or 4 themes: a decorated tree, a Santa, a snowman, or a group of people caroling.  Each tiny numbered flap held a waxy chocolate shaped like a bell or a boot and I enjoyed pulling the plastic mold out of its cover after the countdown came to an end.  This year my nephew is finally old enough to appreciate this holiday tradition so I decided to make my own version just for him.  A good excuse to go to the candy store and get out the craft box.

                     

YAY for opening a present everyday.
