About this Product
I'm an ordained minister with a family. For years, I've been on the lookout for the perfect Advent Calendar to bring in Christmas, and for years I haven't seen what I wanted. So, I figured, why not make it myself!
I give you the 2024 Advent Light, Advent Calendar. Made with archival products, this Calendar features:
A reusable box: While this is for the 2024 Advent Year, the box is not destroyed by using it. Each box can be removed and returned to main box. More than that, because of the way I engineered it, the boxes can be moved around for future years, keeping in mind how the Christian Advent year changes each year. That's why the numbers are below the boxes.
My hand drawn art: Each drawing, from the images on the front, to the background drawing, to the stickers are hand drawn illustrations done during morning reflection and prayer. I used Prismacolor colored pencils on multi-media paper.
Handcrafted gifts: Each day features a handmade gift, with 28 pieces all together, this is a labor of love. From a handstitched mini-stocking, to a usable tiny Advent Wreath, all of the gifts were carefully selected to enhance the Advent Season.
A Devotional to follow the 2024 Advent Season: As I was drawing each day, I also prayerfully considered a devotion to go with that day. The devotional is in full color, tied with the images.

How it’s Made
The box is a private design, uploaded to a Cricut. The archival paper is cut and glued by me. As I glue with archival glue, I print the design features on an Epson Ecotank Printer, and adhere it all.
The inside gifts are personally designed by me. Many of the pieces are made with Sculpey Premo Polymer Clay. Every piece is crafted personally by me.
The devotional is 8.5x7. It features 24 devotionals, an introduction to the Christian Advent Season, a prayer at the beginning to end each devotional, and a question to consider each day. It is full color, using the same images on the front of the Advent Box.
