working ahead

Do you remember my sneak peek for the "getting ready" Scavenger Hunt photo set this past week?





I have been thinking about the cookie sheet advent calendars that you see all over Pinterest this past year. I wanted to write an article about this topic and couldn't find any Creative Commons pictures for it, so I went ahead and created my own board. Great excuse, right? It was a lot of work, but it was so much fun. I could not be more excited about the final result. Even better: Jake loves it, too.

For those who may think it's silly to be worrying about writing Christmas content this early, one of the Christmas articles that I wrote last year is already ranking in the top 10 search results for that particular topic on Google and is getting over 100 hits per day. Imagine what that is going to look like by mid-December.

You can get all of the details about cookie sheet advent calendars right over here:

Is anyone else working on Christmas projects already?

    How do the jars stick to the board - are they magnetic?

  3. How cute. What a fabulous idea too. Love it.

    No I'm not working on any Christmas project because I don't have a crafty bone in my entire body. It's just the way it is. I sure do envy those that do have the knack for making cool things.

    Have a terrific day. :)

  7. Rose, that's so cute. It would make a great gift item!

    I've been in Hanukkah and Christmas earring production for about 2 months. Now, I'm moving back to kippot in larger sizes.

  12. that's great to hear the amount of responses you're getting with your hubpages! I would have never guessed those knobs were days for a calendar. And what a great idea to use a cookie sheet. It's a useful canvas for your magnets! Fabulous idea - I'm sure it would sell well in your shop or at a winter craft fair! {:-D
