Thirty Days of Thankfulness: Day 6

 
 
A few years ago, I knit an Advent calendar for my friend Caitrin... here it is, hanging over her fireplace.  It's made up of 24 little stockings, and the idea is to put a little note or surprise in each stocking so that someone (like Caitrin's daughter, Macie) can open one each day in December as a countdown to Christmas. 
 
 
For the past few years, my birthday gift to Caitrin has been a box full of little goodies to pack in the Advent Calendar stockings for Macie to open.  I look forward to putting the package together every year.  Here's a little peek at the box I sent this year for Caitrin's birthday... soon to be tucked inside stockings for Advent! 
 

 




I'm so thankful to have friends who let me love their kiddos!

no I AM THANKFUL!!!!!

I cannot wait to open it up. (If I remember) It looks like it will be a relatively stress free stocking stuffer experience with the exception of the scotch tape. The stocking might have to be taped to the tape.

YOU ARE THE BEST<3 <3 <3
