Advent Calendar Swap Sign-Ups!

Uh oh.. breaking bloggy rules today! BUT, I absolutely have a great excuse to be posting twice in one day.

Sarah from Notes from a Newlywed and I have partnered up to bring you all an ADVENT CALENDAR SWAP!

<div align="center"> <a href="http://missventrella.blogspot.com/2012/10/advent-calendar-swap-sign-ups.html" title="Advent Calendar Swap Button by ventrellasara, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8190/8141551302_e3d8a125c8_n.jpg" width="320" height="162" alt="Advent Calendar Swap Button"></a></div>

What's the swap all about? Well, let me tell ya! Sarah had the great idea to go forward with the Advent Calendar Swap and asked me to be the co-host. Of course I said yes because I absolutely LOVE the idea of making a hand-made advent calendar for another person to bring in the Christmas season! Here's the timeline we're shooting for for this swap:

October 31-November 9 {sign ups}
November 12 {partners assigned}
November 13-23 {get to know your partner & create the advent calendar!}
November 26 {mail day! mail out your calendar to your partner in time for December 1st}
December 17 {OPTIONAL link up here on the blogs!}

Below are some example advent calendars I found on Pinterest (yes, my addiction). I absolutely love each and every one and think they're all SO creative.

Tin Can advent calendar

Candy Wrapper advent calendar for each day!

Christmas Advent Calendar Cookie Sheet

Variety of Handmade Advent Calendar ideas

The possibilities for this are ENDLESS!
