JuNk dRaWer AdvEnt CaLenDar

When I created the JuNk dRaWer AdvEnt caLenDar last December I did it on a whim to fulfill an assignment I was given for 7gypsies.  There was such an outpouring of interest, Deb said to me..."we have got to do that again next year but make it a complete kit."   My thought was, "are you nuts?" But after the Christmas tree was put away and I had taken a nap...we started the adventure to gather all the vintage bits to create the calendar.
So here it is...same burlap backing as last year and you might notice a few tags are similar.  I couldn't make the calendar again without our sweet little bird in the spoon, a traditional bottle brush tree decorated with mercury glass beads and the Eiffel tower to give it that French feel.  The rest of the tags are much more detailed and some new techniques have been added in.
There are two ways to purchase the Calendar.  You can join us for a class in Arizona at Debbie's house (yes, you get to see her studio) or you can purchase a kit online.
And if you just want a little inspiration you can follow along right here on the blog starting Monday, Oct 18th as we show you step by step how to create several of the tags (just like last year).  Spread the news, Christmas begins in October at One Lucky Day!

Junk Drawer Advent Calendar

This extensive kit includes items to make tags, pins, and fabric backing...kit also includes vintage treasures, 4 clear stamp sets, patterns for cutouts, ribbon, written instructions, CD with up close photos of each tag.  The kit will come beautifully packaged (we promise) in a sturdy, kraft storage box that will allow you to keep your tags preserved from year to year.  It's a family heirloom in the making.
