Day 1 begins at the top with the only blue box in the calendar.
It is only appropriate that the tree topper would be a star. This one is made of red felt, something most altered artists own. Happy first day of December and 1st day of Advent.

25 Days of Christmas: My altered advent calendar
A few years ago, I made this Advent Calendar from jewelry boxes. I filled each one with something that could be used in altered art. It's no secret, I decorate my house with trees, and this is the funkiest tree I own. And it's the only one I made, too. Although I open it every year, I get a smile on my face with each box, because I only remember Day 1 and Day 25. The rest are always a mystery to me until I open them.
Day 1 begins at the top with the only blue box in the calendar.

I can't keep up with you today!! First the stunning dresses that I am going to have to track back to see them all in their glory and now your advent calendar, which is so cute and such a great idea... I don't think I have enough little jewelry boxes to do an advent calendar though...
