Coming this week! Just in time to ring in the new year ๐ My 2021 inspirational watercolor calendar is being printed and put together by my friends at Mail-N-Copy. I am really excited about sharing this new calendar with you along with a new fun idea. As you are enjoying my calendar throughout the year I will be posting love, fun ideas, and inspiration on Instagram @thruthepaintbrush so we can share this year together.โค๏ธ

Merry Christmas! May you all be blessed today on this beautiful Christmas Day โค๏ธ
I have created a coloring page for all ages from todayโs advent painting of baby Jesus and would love to share it with you โค๏ธ
You can also find a PDF available for download on my home page. ย I have truly enjoyed these 25 days of posting daily advent and I hope you have enjoyed them too โค๏ธ
The stockings were hung by the chimney with care, in hopes that Saint Nicholas soon would be there……only I hung the stockings up there on a old fence picket that I threw together with some nails for hangers and since we donโt have a chimney I stuck them all above the shoe shelf by the front door and even though none of our stockings match they all have there own memories and we love seeing them year after year. Hereโs to wishing you a merry Christmas Eve filled with love and tradition

Advent day 23 is all about Christmas bells! I am trying to focus on remembering the reason for the season. โค๏ธ

Soon we will be ringing in the new year and I have created a 2021 inspirational watercolor calendar and I will be sharing weekly inspiration throughout 2021.
Advent day 22. For todayโs advent fun I took my kids old sled that is battered and worn and decorated it for Christmas. I used some branches I set aside while Christmas tree cutting added some ribbon, rope, and old bells and I think it turned out great! ๐งถ๐ทโค๏ธโโ
Advent day 21. It is the first day of winter and only four days til Christmas! Are you ready? Are you done shopping? Iโm not I need stocking stuffers, holiday food, Christmas napkins and more. My head is kinda spinning at this point ๐
The one thing I donโt need is cards since I make them myself. If you live in my area and still need a special card or two I have plenty and since itโs only four days til Christmas I am offering 40% off for the rest of the countdown! You can stop in Dandelions & Rust or Thistle in Wellington and show them this post for 40% off all my cards, prints, and even my advent card sets to add a little extra decoration to your home. Check the shops for their hours this weekโค๏ธ
โค๏ธ ย Since it mitten and sweater weather I had to include this darling sticker made by @the_lilac_crayon
Itโs present wrapping day ๐ Are you ready to wrap or are you finished already? Do you have your shopping done? Are you fully stocked with paper, tape, boxes, and ribbon? I am all over the place when it comes to wrapping. I wish I was organized enough to wrap gifts when I get them or finish making them but Iโm not. I buy gifts as I find them and I just hide them all over the place until right before the big day then itโs a massive project.
ย This year I am starting today and will wrap some each day this way I have 6 days to get it all done. Thanks to my advent reminder I even have some gifts under the tree this morning ๐
Evert year I use my bed as a wrapping station so I can close the door, spread out and keep gifts a secret. Happy wrapping everyone โค๏ธ๐๐
Advent day 18! Christmas lights can really make this season magical. Sometimes late at night or early in the morning I like to sit and just enjoy the Colorful lights in my house โค๏ธ I keep my outside lights on a timer so when I come home after dark the magic is there just waiting for me ๐ฅฐ I plan to go out for a drive tonight with my family, drink hot cocoa and look at Christmas lights in Fort Collins and a live nativity or two. There are some great Christmas displays this weekend. ๐If your out and about look for me I will be the one in the reindeer mobile #adventcalendar #adventcalendars #adventcalendar2020
