I made a couple of Advent Calendars from Mini Muffin Tins! What fun they were. I originally had just made one but the gal who bought it wanted another one for her other grandchild. So I improved on the original!

I got the tins at Walmart. The red and green paper is cut to 1 1/4" square. Layer on those squares, the large scallop circles. Then punch designer paper in 1 3/4" circles and layer them onto the scallops. Then I just typed 1-24 on my word processing program in a font I liked, printed them out onto white cardstock, and punched them out with the 3/4" punch. On the back of the red and green squares, I glued think magnets. The magnets were a real find! A few years ago, Ashley was cleaning out her desk and had about 100 of these refrigerator magnets she'd gotten from a drug rep or something. Anyway, I don't like to throw anything away so I took them. It's amazing how often I've used those little magnets. They have been a real find!
I played bridge today .... and actually had the top score which was surprising because my hands pretty much sucked! But that just goes to show how bad everyone's hands were. I won't be able to play Mahjongg on Friday due to going to Pittsburgh which made several of the gals happy since I have been winning big time the past month and taking their money! (We only play for $2!)
