DIY Holiday Box Advent

If I’m not mistaken this will be the first December of my life that I don’t have an advent calendar. I’m kind of bummed, but dig deep and pull through (can you tell I’ve been watching a lot of Friday Night Lights lately?). If I were making one for someone else, however, I’d be super into this graphic holiday box advent from Oh Happy Day, great colors and patterns, and of course treats!

Pantone Xmas Balls

Yes, it’s only the early stages of October. And yes, Pantone is everywhere these days. But I couldn’t resist sharing these ornaments because really, how great would these look on a tree, my fellow design nerds?

Merry Christmas.


Andrew Bannecker

I’m signing out for the week and heading home to the snowy hills of Pittsburgh for Christmas! Plenty of time will be spent going to old haunts, visiting with friends, and spending QT with the family. Blogging will be a little spotty over the next few weeks, but I’ll be popping in here and there. Until next time, have a splendid holiday no matter your plans. Take some time for yourself, enjoy the magic this time of year brings, and don’t forget to smile.

Happy Weekend.

+ What a clever idea, a holiday Sputnik mobile.

+ Have you seen this art made entirely out of typewriter letters and punctuation marks? Genius.

+ Cute holiday cookie stencils to download.

+ Thinking about this recipe for Bacon and Egg Soup!

+ If you’re late on your holiday cards maybe consider sending out Happy New Year cards instead.

+ Check out The Twelve Terrors of Christmas by John Updike and Edward Gorey. Love it.

+ Really want to check out this bar.

+ I’ve been reading this poem almost daily for the past two weeks.

+ Love this father/son art blog.

+ Pouring through this from What Katie Ate.

Happy Weekend!
