I Squealed when I opened the first two

“Bekki, you should post these online so people know how much you mean to me…”

My little sister sent me a box filled with manilla envelopes, dated Dec1- Dec 25.

When I tore open the first envelope I SQUEALED.

This is by FAR, the BEST gifts I’ve ever received in the mail.

  • Handmade
  • Thoughtful
  • Paper adorableness
  • and a story that build each day…

Want to bless your sister, mom, wife, daughter, or bestie?

Here’s how to build your own Custom Advent Calendar Kit

Step 1: Pause and close your eyes. Who comes to mind? Pick her.

Step 2: Assemble your materials

  • Supplies. You’ll need card making supplies. There are many kits available, but my amazing sister used goodies she had on hand. You can buy a hand full of cards, or even find advent DIY ornaments.

Trust me, it’s the thought that counts!

Step 3: Envelopes!

Place each day’s card inside the manilla envelope and write the date on the front. My sister, Jackie included fun number stickers for me inside too, so I could number the set as I open them!

Step 4: Box the envelopes up and mail them to your loved one.

When I called my sister to say thank you, she said, “You told me you never receive letters in the mail and I just had to fix that!

Blessed beyond blessed.

That’s what your bestie will be.

Send some Mini Clothes pins and ribbon and she can hang them each year:)

PS- Remember to teach your kids to write good old fashioned letters, it’s such a small way to make a HUGE difference in someone’s day.
