I've been frequenting your blog for months now. I don't remember how I happened upon it, but I really like it. This advent collection is great. Thank you for compiling it. Maybe I will be able to start a calendar soon and finish it by next year (that's how things work around our place).

It is a Bingo advent calendar where blackout means Christmas and you could give prizes each time they get Bingo.

It amazes me how one concept can be done so many ways! Awesome!

Will there be a flicker group for the swap?

I'm wondering how many advent calenders I can get away with? Too many fantastic ideas here :-)
