Filled with so much Holiday cheer and some amazing projects featuring all the different Helmar Adhesives.
Hello everyone and welcome to my stop on the Helmar Holiday Hop.
If you have been following along, you should have hopped here from L. Grace Lauer’s blog.
If not, you just have to stop at the Helmar Blog and start from the beginning.
There are goodies along the way and we don’t want you to miss a thing.
Getting ready for the festive season has been lots of fun in our household. With four children, everyone is eager to be involved and get busy creating for Christmas.
This year however there has been one change in our household in the countdown for Christmas. We have discovered that our youngest child is unable to eat chocolate (quite a hard thing when she lives in a house of Chocoholics... hehehehehe). Do you think I could find an advent calendar anywhere that doesn't have chocolate but still lets my kids satisfy their sweet tooth !!!!! NOPE !!!!
So this year, we I had to get creative with a little help from Helmar. I decided to make our own advent calendar that the kids can change around the days easily and have popped a bowl of jelly bean next to the calendar for the little sweet tooth's!
Was quite an easy task with a little help from a child's paint by numbers mini canvas and easel and some of my favourite Helmar adhesives
and here's my calendar
Make sure you leave a comment at every stop because the elves of Helmar will be giving away prizes to some lucky Helmar fans.
Now hop on over to Angie Blom's Blog to see another amazing Helmar Holiday project.
The Holiday Hop will be open for comments until 11:59P.S.T December 4th , so take a look and enjoy a little holiday spirit from all of us on the Helmar Team.
Thanks again for stopping by today and Happy Holidays.

This is awesome, I love the jellybean bowl idea.. and your advent came out amazing!! I am sure the kids won't miss the chocolate!
I love this idea. I may have to try something like this too. Love your colors.
Second time doing a Helmar blog hop. Not disappointed at all by the ideas. Thanks so much for sharing.
Your calendar is beautiful! So very cute sitting on the easel :) Gives me an idea to make a little one like this to have out everyday, not just for Christmas!!
what a great idea, individual days displayed and not the whole calander. I pinned it on pintrest too. Thanks for sharing.
Great project!! Love the colours you have used and the detail is stunning!
What a good idea! Ive been looking for something that would keep from having to create a bunch of little boses or what not and I think this just may be the ticket!
