Make a Sentimental Avent Calendar.
Make a Sentimental Avent Calendar
Count down to Christmas with everyday reminders of classic holiday moments. Decoupage photocopied letters and postcards to the front of a wooden plaque. From cardstock, cut twenty-five 2-inch squares and adhere a photo to the back of each square. Add a mini eyelet to the top of each square. Stamp a number (1 through 25) on the cardstock side of each square. Hammer five rows of five nails 2-1/8 inches apart; hang the squares on the nails. Add words to the top of the display using stickers or rub-on transfers.
Editor's Tip: For an aged look, decoupage white or cream tissue paper over the calendar background.
Design by Wendy Musgrave

I so loving this idea.... Might be making something like this is the new year.....
Verse of the day“But the day of the Lord will come like a thief. The heavens will disappear with a roar; the elements will be destroyed by fire, and the earth and everything done in it will be laid bare. Since everything will be destroyed in this way, what kind of people ought you to be? You ought to live holy and godly lives” - 2 Peter 3:10-11

{Scripture Challenge 2} Challenge Word #21, First (Copied and Pasted from Patter Cross Blog - Please join in - http://triplethescraps.blogspot.com/)
Challenge Word #21: First (My layout posted below)
When you hear the word “first,” what do you think of? Do you think of a crowd of people and being first in line? Do you think of climbing the corporate ladder to be in that number one position? Do you think of competitive sports or music and being first in the league or first chair? Is it all about you, your child, or grandchild? Or does God come first in your life? Is He the first thing you think of when you wake up, when you make a decision, when you speak, etc.? 1 Kings 22:5 says “. . .First seek the counsel of the Lord.” In all things, we need to seek Him first—in our decisions, choices, purchases, use of our time,
etc.
As we seek Him, He alone is to be first and above all. As followers of Christ, we are to humble ourselves so that people see Him and not us. If we are trying to be first in all we do or teaching our children that being first is most important, than the focus is not on Christ but on ourselves. Yes, we may reap earthly rewards and get praise from others but is that what we really want? John 12:42-43 says “Yet at the same time many even among the leaders believed in Him. But because of the Pharisees they would not confess their faith for fear they would be put out of the synagogue, for they loved praise from men more than praise from God.” Do you hide your faith at work, around certain friends, etc., because you are afraid of what they may think or that you may be “put out” of the group? John 16:18 says “If the world hates you, keep in mind that it hated me first.” As I tell my children, "if you are the only one standing up for a certain decision, if it is what God says is right, then stand there alone! That's what's right and where He wants you!"
Instead of reaping earthly rewards, how about reaping those eternal rewards! Do you want to know that God is pleased with you and that one day you will hear “Well done, good and faithful servant!” Matthew 25:21 says “His master replied, 'Well done, good and faithful servant! You have been faithful with a few things; I will put you in charge of many things. Come and share your master's happiness!’” We may be in last place for choosing to follow Jesus but in eternity, we will share in His rewards and happiness! And I don't know about you but I would rather be in last place with Jesus than out front alone!

Scripture Challenge 2} Challenge Word #24, Help ( Copied and pasted from Patter Cross blog)
Challenge Word #24: Help
Casting Crowns—“Praise You in This Storm” which is actually from Psalm 121:1-2 “I lift up my eyes to the mountains—where does my help come from? My help comes from the LORD, the Maker of heaven and earth.”
God knew this was coming. He has prepared it for me. When He prepares something for us, He enables and helps us through it. As believers, we have the Holy Spirit living in us that gives us the power to do things He brings our way. He is our help. John 14:15-17 says “If you love me, keep my commands. And I will ask the Father, and He will give you another advocate to help you and be with you forever—the Spirit of truth. The world cannot accept Him, because it neither sees Him nor knows him. But you know Him, for He lives with you and will be in you.”
This is so true!
How amazing is that! The power of the Holy Spirit lives in me and in all believers. We can rely on that power. He is our help in all things. And when God calls us to a task, He will enable us to do it—not by our own strength but in His. Are you relying on “self” for help and failing, or are you relying on the Holy Spirit within you to complete the task He has given you?
Now the “task” may be a difficult road but we can trust that He is our help through it! Now this doesn’t mean we can run around and do as we please. If we are just running without an intent purpose in following His will, we can lose that closeness to the Lord because we are running and not listening to or following Him. He is there to help but we must be in His will too.
What difficulty or task are you facing right now? Is it a medical situation? Family issues? The craziness of the holiday season? Where are you turning for help? Do you turn to complaining thoughts like I did?Do you turn to friends to voice your frustration? Do you turn to the internet to get other’s advice? Or do you turn to our precious Lord and ask for His help? He is our Creator. He is always watching over us, and He is all-powerful. We certainly should not turn to anyone or anything else for help. Give it all to Him and turn your eyes to Him. We can depend on Him for our help. Psalm 54:4 says “Surely God is my help; the Lord is the one who sustains me.”

Kids Crafts Supplies Holder
A canvas apron made for gardening tools is also a great holder for art supplies. Attach the belt to the edge of a child's table with hook-and-loop tape, and tuck the straps out of sight. Fill it with crafts supplies that will get your little one creating.
Note - I'm so loving that skirt for my scrapbooking table, let's see if I can get my mom to make one for me...

My Sweet, Sweet Song- All My Worship ( I will be posting layout later)
Praising God is an act of humility and devotion. When we praise and worship God, we turn our focus from ourselves and place it on God. This act brings us into closer fellowship with the Lord and allows us to express our faith. We lift our hands and shout words of thanksgiving and adoration. We play music, sing and dance.
I will extol the LORD at all times; his praise will always be on my lips. -Psalms 34:1
Speak to one another with psalms, hymns and spiritual songs. Sing and make music in your heart to the Lord, always giving thanks to God the Father for everything, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. -Eph. 5:19-20
Through Jesus, therefore, let us continually offer to God a sacrifice of praise—the fruit of lips that confess his name. -Hebrews 13:15
What do you praise God for? What songs express pure praise to you? God is worthy of our praise and worship at all times. Sometimes we are so caught up in our circumstances that we find it hard to praise God. At those times the right song can remind us that God is in control and he is an awesome God!
And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose. -Romans 8:28
