Christmas countdown calendar

Two years ago (or maybe it was last year-I have a terrible memory for this kind of thing) I participated in a Christmas countdown calendar swap on the Cricut messageboards. 25 of us each got one number, made 25 of the same thing and ended up with 25 pieces for a calendar. I can't find the original thread on the message boards because it is too old.


I love our calendar and wanted to do one on my own. Who to give it to? I wanted it to go to someone I know would appreciate it. Now, I don't need accolades for my work but when I work on something this time consuming, I want to know the recipient isn't going to just toss it out next year. I gave this calendar to Ellie and Angel today.


Many of the pieces were directly inspired or copied from our own calendar so I will not say every piece is my own idea. I took pictures of a couple of my favorite pieces too.
I would love to make more of these. I love doing Christmas themes! So fun.
