How are you doing the numbers?

Probably not the easiest way :rolleyes: but I made a table in Word and have typed December 1, December 2 etc in each box, printed and then cut them out. I used the freebie font on Pink Peticoat site, I love it.

rainmac - does it work like a 'count down calendar' ? Or is there a way of hiding some kind of treat behind the numbers ?

Yep just the dates, I'm going to add the one I'm making to my mum and dad's advent bag and make another for our house, and more if I have time

Hi am a newby, just coming up with ideas for christmas and was trying to think of ways of replacing a wine label with a personalised label that still looks authentic, the ones they sell seem to be pricy for the wine you receive has anyone tried anything like this , would be grateful for some advice.

Also planning on making personalised shopping bags to use as hampers any idea were you can purchase blank cotton bags.

Sorry for any typos feeding my 2 month old with other hand!!
