Advent Archives

I'm so glad I'm not the only one who is already looking towards Advent! It doesn't happen every year, but this year, I did get the jump on things and plan to be mostly finished with Christmas preparations by the time Advent starts.  Anyway, I thought I'd pull these posts out of the archives and make them easier to find for those of you also getting a jump on things, or for those of you who need a little push to get you going! We have company coming this weekend to celebrate a birthday so don't be surprised if things are quiet for a while but be sure to check out Jessica's wonderful resources for Advent (scroll down to where it says "Advent") for more inspiration!
