Sometimes things don’t go right.
In the big picture, this announcement is small beans but it’s already 19 days until December 1 and I am only now ready with this years advent calendar.
The design was finished so far in advice! I was ready! But there have been hiccups. With communication. With the printer. With the cutter of tiny doors. I ended up scrambling to find someone able to print this little project in a rush.
You know the saying, “measure twice, cut once”?
Well…..
In my rush, the tiny numbers do not line up well with the tiny doors. 😭
Uuuuuugh.
That means this years advent calendar offering is a 2nd. You have to search a bit harder for your numbers (they are still there!) otherwise it’s fine. Not what I wanted, but what I have. Feels like a metaphor for a lot of life right now.
The theme is Christmas Traditions Around the World. Behind each door is the name of a country and a tiny picture of one of their Christmas Traditions to encourage curiosity for our fellow humans. It’s the same holiday but some very different ways of celebrating. It’s pocket size so it fits in your bag, could be slipped in a holiday card or tucked in the console of your car for some advent on the go.
It’s $5 for a 3x4 inch handful of Advent.
I’ve learned a lot. Already prepared for next year. In the meantime, I hope you give this little wabi sabi Advent card a shot. ❤️
