I'm not really sure how it's already the holiday season...but it's all of a sudden just...here! It happened oh so F A S T!! So, that means...it's time to put your crafty pants on & make some awesome new holiday decor!



This month, I am back to show you what I whipped up for the Cricut Design Star Challenge! This machine has seriously changed the way I craft. It's pretty much amazing. Just like last month, my team is making some pretty crafty little things with their machines too (so make sure to head over & check theirs out too!). Later in the post, you'll have a chance to WIN YOUR VERY OWN CRICUT EXPLORE!!! Shut the front door. You want need one of these bad boys, trust me.

You know how I looooove me some Bucket Lists. Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter. The whole she-bang. This time I decided to make my bucket list for Thanksgiving/Fall into one cute advent calendar! It makes it so much more fun for me to pull out a new "to-do" from each day.

It was SO EASY to just head to Cricut.com and design some little cards to print out. I also made the numbers & pockets with the Explore too. Cricut's Design Space is seriously so easy to use. That's one of my favorite things - ease of use. Because if it's not pretty simple to use, I'm out. ;)

The little pockets hold cards that have different activities or things to do on each day. I can't wait to see Davis pull out each card & get excited as we check off each thing.

Some examples of what I wrote on each card: 

PLAY IN THE LEAVES // TAKE COOKIES TO A NEIGHBOR // WRITE DOWN 5 THINGS WE ARE THANKFUL FOR // MAKE A THANKSGIVING-THEMED CRAFT // MAKE HOT APPLE CIDER // DO 5 NICE THINGS FOR OUR NEIGHBORS // SEND A LETTER TO SOMEONE // GO ON A DRIVE TO SEE THE CHANGING LEAVES // etc....

Add whatever is on YOUR HOLIDAY BUCKET LIST!

They are all just simple things that will really get us in the mood for this wonderful season ahead. I think it's even better than getting a piece of candy each day! Even though Davis might not think so... ;)
