I took these to a gift exchange last weekend and am taking them to my Visiting Teachees. Total cost about $4 including jar, candy and ribbon. I wanted to put a cute Christmas rub-on on the side but the ones I ordered haven't gotten here in time. Fill a mason jar with candy. Tie one thicker ribbon around the top of jar lid. Tie shorter, thinner ribbons around the fatter ribbon. Cover inner ring with festive paper. That's it. These have gotten rave reviews.
I made these advent calendars at my sister's Super Saturday way back in October. These took a couple hours to put together but I've given 5 away as gifts and people have loved them. These are activity advent calendars that you write a daily holiday activity on the tag. It's been a really fun thing this year. It is probably pretty apparent that I LOVE ribbon. I use it on almost every project and scrapbook layout I do. 
We've been laying low for a couple of days because Makenna is sick with a nasty cold. It's been a nice change and I've gotten some stuff done around the house (like deep cleaning in time for Christmas company) and have had some good hang out time with the kiddos. We did miss our playgroup Christmas party today but I just couldn't take her as sick as she is.

As always you have out done yourself, they all look so fun! Could you post or email more instructions for the advent calendar? Happy Holidays!
Great ideas!! I especially love the advent calendar!! How much does that one cost start to finish! I'm with Inkmom - I need instructions!! You are so cool - that's all there is to it! Merry Christmas!
I feel so special to have received one of those advent calendars. LOVE IT. Thanks again so much. We're having fun doing a tag each day, and A is the calendar police! She won't let us forget. We made journals the other day, a lot like your planner. It was so cute it inspired me to write. Thanks for the other cute ideas.
