advent calendar  
I made it!!! Today was spent creating an advent calendar for my team at my company. Because they've been real sweethearts of late and really deserve more than a thank you.



Since it was so much fun, I'm sharing the creation process with you. My idea before starting was rather scetchy. I wanted someting typographic, I had those little bags and I knew the color I wanted. My idea loosely was to color a large wood piece and then use nails to arrange the wire.





After I mixed the color and applied part of it to the wood I printed out the letter A so I'd could leave out part of the wood.


I always work in chaos doing several things at the same time.




My accidental Star Trek Bag :)

Yet more typographic work ;)




Applying nails and the wire!



The Result!



Now I just need to fill those bags. Suggestions are welcome. Chocolate is mandatory!

Bonus piggie!!

This one is a few weeks old... but there are even younger new babies. :D

Chocolate is probably the safest bet...but I'd love something cooler!!! Thanks babe.
