Yes, more babushkas! These designs are from Thymbyl Designs
I love these simple ideas for advent calendars, too. (If you recall from here - I'm on a searching mission.) And I'm definitely a fan of having an advent calendar that has a gift inside. Of course, it can be a teeny tiny gift, but I think it adds to the fun of each day... and is probably good at rationing out the likes of chocolate for someone such as me as I'm notorious for eating all mine in one go. Shameful, I know.

I think a love of surprises is the appeal of an advent calendar. My Girl Guide unit is making one at the moment and it was all a bit ho hum until I explained how the calendar was used and that there would be lollies in each basket they made. Then it was "game on". Everyone wanted in.
I know these already , they are so nice!!
Hi Natalie

mmm... how timely that I'm reading this post. I'm currently eating the chocolate I bought for our advent calendar- opps! ;)
Tracey - I LOVE the women paintings in your home. I have to admit that I always end up buying paintings of women, too. I have to stop myself sometimes because my husband thinks it's a bit weird.
Thanks, Miko.
Katiecrackernuts + Trixie - perhaps my advent calendar motivation is that I really want to have chocolate every day! Guilty, as charged ;-)
I love those little calico sacks - what a great idea! We have an activity advent calendar http://duyvken.blogspot.com/2006/12/advent-activity-calendar.html and love it.
Duyken, That's a great idea, but I don't know if I could forgo the chocolates!
