Story:
I have always wanted to create the same magic for my children that I experienced as child and for me Christmas has always begun with an
advent calendar.

Over the years theyve always had chocolate calendars like the ones I used to enjoy but more recently Luke has been enjoying a Lego calendar while Ella opted for a gift card to Justice. This year I really surprised her with a fancy art set which included paints, pencils and other art treasures as well as some real watercolor paper. Who doesnt love a good surprise? 1 Dec 2012
