DIY Advent Calendar with Tiny Galvanized Pails

These were leftover from our wedding decor and have made their way back on to the scene for another special occasion, Advent 2012. Simple red-glittery number stickers and twine, viola, it is done! Thanks to an idea similarly found in the latest issue of Pottery Barn's Holiday catalog.

We are enjoying each day's advent activity, with a reading from a devotional, scripture, and meditating on one of the many names of God.
