Christmas Advent Calendar

Kristal, don't read this post unless you want to see one of your Christmas gifts :-)

This is a mini-muffin tin disguised as an advent calendar. It is probably one of my favorite projects ever. I love Christmas time because there are so many cute craft ideas. My sister-in-law gave these as gifts last year and I got the idea from her. You simply decorate a card for each day leading up to Christmas and apply magnetic tape to the backside of it. Then fill each cup with a Hershy's Kiss or other treat and cover each cup with the decorated cards. It's exciting to see what treat each new day brings. The best part of it is that it doesn't take up very much room. After Christmas simply pull each card off, store them away and use the muffin tin for its intended purpose the rest of the year :-) If you give it as a gift you can give it with some muffin mix and a card that says "you're gettin' muffin for Christmas." Happy Thanksgiving tomorrow and Merry Christmas after that.
