Here are some pics of our Christmas in 2010. Enjoy and hopefully you can get a few ideas of your own. Most of these ideas can be done here in Turkey without needing something from the States!

| Egg Carton Advent Calender. This project was funny..it was called the last minute 11 day late advent calender. Tissue paper, red paint and large egg carton. Little pices of paper were placed inside each egg hole. |
