advent day eleven

This morning's stocking yielded one rainbow pencil and one picture of a rainbow alien before Audrey darted out the door to kinder. The girl has been getting right into the spirit of the advent calendar. I've been trying to include a mix of activities and small gifts (mostly of the craft supply variety... sparkly pipe cleaners tomorrow, I think we might try to make some of these - thanks for the tip Cassie!) Two days we had no time and I put in a small chocolate santa. As much as I'm pretty sure she's loving the activities and craft, I should have known what she'd prefer to find each day. This is a small exchange we had this morning:

A: Mummy, do you remember sometimes the stockings have chocolate in them?
Me: Er, yes.
A: Do you think they could have that again?

So much for wholesome family good times.

At least I finished these three girls, but I think the shop update may be delayed until tomorrow night - there's someone else pushing in line to be included.

I'm going to be glued to my screen hoping to get one of those little girls for my new little girl! So very cute and cool.

How cool are rainbow pencils! Hehe but I guess sometimes you just can't beat a good old piece of chocolate.

That drawing is awesome! You need this fantastic Japanese crafting book to render it immortal!

We too have had the same discussion - "will there be nandy (candy) it it today?" or "is there a note?" (which is what I have done for the things too big to fit in the pockets). Also, just had to say, I made myself a shirt this summer out of the pink and floral fabric in the upper left. I just love the fabric! Cute, cute dolls!
