The web is buzzing with Advent ideas and resources (and competitions). I am inspired that we can find all sorts of creative ways to remember and celebrate the story of God's love for us. (It's a birth story that's never been trumped at any playgroup or mothers' group I've been to).
We made advent calendars in our family church service yesterday. In my mind, they looked much more orderly, but I am growing to love their cluttered chaos. Each numbered shape has a short passage to build up the Christmas Story over the 25 days. This is craft for amateurs (ie. me).
The shapes were prepared before-hand and the kids worked together to collect them and tie them all together. And everyone took home a calendar to use this advent!

And I am keen to join the Advent Conspiracy... Here is the 2009 promo.
And a place to shop online...

Hi Kath,
Thanks for stopping by my blog!
I'm an advent-lover, too. The lead up to Christmas, and all the wonderful reflections that accompany it, are so special. If only it didn't always feel so busy!
